They could get the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines all together and they take turn choosing people for their squads. When you sign up they make you run their gay obstacle course, test your accuracy with weapons, and see if you can no sell bullets like Nick Cage in Con Air, then televise it and invite the top scorers to the site. When you get selected you get to hold up the uniform of the division that selected you (Of course, if you get selected by the Marines, you'll probably look like Steve Francis when the Grizzlies took him.)... I think it would convince a lot of stupid people to cash in for their 15 minutes, and at the very least make the draft slightly appealing. Opinions?

I haven't heard from my boyfriend in just over 2 weeks. He is stationed in Ramadi. How often should I expect to hear from him? When should I start to worry. I check the casualty reports frequently, just in case. When he was at his first stop, Kuwait, I got emails all the time and calls, but it has dropped off some. We didn't have a fight or anything, so I know it's not anything like that. I think I just need to understand what it is like and what real level of expectations I should have.

So I read a lot of book like STANGER TO MYSELF and other accounts by veterans who admit that they lose their innocence while at war. Reading thier diaries I watch them explore or develope a dark and horrible essence. So I wonder, how is it that once you know how ugly and repulsive life can be (or in some cases how repulsive you can be) how do you go home and hug children and love anyone again ? Any books on this very subject ?

i personally am not american, but i dont think its fair when so many people say nothing but bad comments about america (including the people of america). i do understand that they do screw up some times but compaire that to what other superpowers have done i think you find they are rather enocent. muslims especially have very bad opinion of america even though every single musilm country in the world depends on america one way or another. i do also know that the people of america are very arogant but so is every one else when they have achived a lot. (i personally am against the arrogant bet it ruins the beauty in achivement).

Is America the only country with great weapons? Does only America have great soldiers? Was it Americans who invented the rocket, nuclear bomb,etc? Why should America be scared of anyone?

In the Phoney War of 1939 - 1940, the French army, disastrously, defended behind the Maginot LIne after token advances in the Saarland in September 1939.

If the French politicans and top commanders had wished to attack in Spring 1940, before Hitler did in May, to get far they would have had to cross the Rhine. Was this possible with their resources and military skills?

The Rhine was the front line in the South, between Strasbourg and Basle. The German side is forest. An attack further North would entail crossing the industrial Saarland or the Ardennes Hills, which would lead up to the Rhine Gorge or to the industrial area of the Rhineland around Cologne and the Ruhr. Finally, an attack in the North would go through Belgium and Holland, with accompanying political problems as well as creating additional military enemies.

The allied Rhine crossings in 1945 used methods not available in 1940.

I'm interested in what was technically possible, not what should have been done.

I'm interested in moving to GA near an Army Base. I have a career as a Registered Rep (Financial Advisor) and a soldier for the US Army National Guard. I'm interested in knowing which one is better for my type of work and situation (I'm single, no kids and also looking to meet new people and hopefully find a bf or whatever). I know people in both places but my decision isn't dependent on that. Thanks for your advice.

I have family in the military, and they don't believe that just because we the American people are angry with our choice through congress to go to war, that we should abandon the hopes of these tormented people.
So, now I am asking every person enlisted that uses this site to tell me if you feel the same.
No answers from civilians please, military only.
Thank you

This was a case that happened long ago. Stanley was a U.S. military sergeant who volunteered to particapte in a program which would test the effiectiveness of clothing against chemical warfare. Unknown to the thousands of military men that all volunteered they were given huge doses of LSD because the army wanted to see the results of what LSD would do to the human body. Years afterwards he suffered massive memory loss, he often had hallucinations, and he sometimes would wake in the middle of the night and beat his wife and kids and forget about what he did in the morning. He became divorced later on, and stanley left the army in 1969 after over a decade of service. 6 years later the army contacted him to ask him about the long-term effects of what the LSD had done to him. It was the first time he knew he was given LSD. He sued the army for destorying his life, however no court would hear the case, it went all the way to the supreme court and i think they rejected, anyone know results?

I HAVE recently searched and searched YouTube for a COMBINED tribute to ALL NATO Service Personnel who have sacrificed thier lives in this recent war on terror campaign in AFGHANISTAN AND Iraq.

I have found many, BUT, I have yet to find a SINGLE COMBINED tribute, whereby ALL NATO countries are EQUALLY credited, instead of individual countries. 1 or 2 show a flicker of the British flag, but nothing as comprehensive as those of the U.S. tributes to thier own.

Can you provide a link for me anyone..please?

Every video I've seen of a IED exploding next to a US military vehicle it was being driven on an Iraqi road. Aren't all US military vehicles made so that they can travel off road? Don't all Humvees have 4 wheel drive? If a US vehicle isn't on a Iraqi road how would the terrorists ever know where to put the IEDs? Don't Iraqi roads just make US troops sitting ducks? US truck convoys wouldn't work going off road but all the other military vehicles certainly could & the terrorist wouldn't have any idea of where to put their IEDs because they couldn't use the Iraqi roads to target US troop vehicles. Right???

This is not quite the question you might initially think. I realize that there are a lot of people who think going in was a mistake. Or that we should have used more resources elsewhere.

I am really curious as to whether there are people with a military background or otherwise who would have executed the Iraq operation differently. People not opposed to the war, or who can at least look "militarily" at what has been done from March of 2003 onwards, and critique it with the benefit of hindsight. Take the stated goals of the Bush administration, and tell me how you would have achieved them differently. Strategy and tactics.

We might ALL learn something. Thanks!
