Military - March 2007

Ive seen many post that call it unsoldierly, or cowardice when they see soldiers that speak out about the war.
Then why join the military? they say.

Well, if you joined the military, havent you earned the right to say whatever you want about this government.
Heck, you were on the front lines defending to uphold our freedom of speech.

why dont people understand that?

I know Ive earned the right to say whatever I want about this governemnt, if I was willing to die for my country
HOW DARE ANYONE TRY TO TAKE THE RIGHT AWAY FROM ME OR ANY OTHER SOLDIER!!!!

Until you served your country -- you havent earned the right to question a soldiers freedom of speech!!!

The movie "300" claims that the Spartan Army defeated 1 million Persian soldiers with only 300 troops? Did that really happen? Did the Persians really have 1 million soldiers at the Battle of Thermopylae? If so, how did the Persians manage to supply a 1 million man army that was fighting so far from home?

Ok today NASA fired that Lisa Nowak and now she is going to Corpus Christi to continue her service in the Navy. I thought if you had any criminal actions or did kind of bad stuff while serving the country that you could get a dishonorable discharge. I don't get it the Navy will let her continue service work but a couple months back a San Antonio Navy lady posed in playboy with her uniform and they gave her a dishonorable discharge. I think what the astronaut has done is worse of a crime on our nation then someone posing for playboy.

I know that the majority of hand grenades are designed to trigger at a set period of time, but would it automatically trigger if it was hit by something hard and blunt like a baseball bat? This is an argument I had with some of my roleplaying buddies who like developing war tactics, and thought hitting a grenade with a blunt weapon was stupid.

For the soldiers that are in Iraq right now, is depleted uranium a threat to them? Or was it only an issue during the Gulf War? How likely is it that they could be exposed to it?

I sound really dumb because I am not quite sure how to word the question. Sorry in advance. :)

I heard about a full body system that gave soldiers the ability to send messages to one another, have gun cameras and with these cameras can forward images in real time to command or shoot around corners. does anyone know any more details about the equipment and/or when it will be implemented?

The fact the military draft is not in effect is insane- Our troops are stretched out thin, we need more soldiers, and this war may last a long time, if it spreads to Iran.
Not having the draft makes NOO sense. Detractors of the draft says it produces inferior quality soldiers. thats crap- for one its an insult to the many soldiers who fought for this country who were drafted. Plus it seems the Army has already lowered standards as is to accept new recruits (raising age cutoff, accepting people with rap sheets, ect). So the argument that the quality of people brought in via the draft wouldnt be good is flat wrong. And to be blunt- freedom isnt free- i think every American should serve thier country if they want to enjoy the freedoms of being American. I get tired of americans who have never served who think America owes them somthing. Not having the draft in time of war makes NO sense...

1. Khe San, Vietnam War: 1966, General Westmoreland replaced a battalion with Bravo Company to administer the defense of the airstrip after shouting down the Marines that it needed to be defended.

2. Yalu River on the Korea/China border, Korean War: MacArthur fails to use full force to wipe out the Communist opposition in this battle, though he is adamant that full-scale attack is the way to go.

I know I've presented these circumstances rather simplistically, but the point is that these avenues of advantage were not pursued, though they were presented, each at its time, as the best courses of action. Why did both these battles not end in success for the US military?
