Military - March 2007

I often hear soldiers complain that no good deeds in
Iraq get reported; only the bad. So here's your chance. give us some specific examples of the good we are doing over there.
Now, one thing. We know the current surge is quelling some, not all, of the violence in Baghdad. Same thing happened last time we did that, doesn't mean the insurgents aren't just waiting for us to withdraw or move to different areas of the country. In fact, that seems to be the case.
So outside that pending situation, tell me. If there is so much good being done you should be able to find a plethora of specific examples. But make it signifigant, there's a lot of bad to counter. Doesn't help to build a school if the kids are too afraid to attend.

* This would significantly reduce the homeless problem in the United States.

* It would fulfill the personnel needs for the military for quite some time.

* Those who are accepted would be serving their country valiantly.

* Those who are accepted would be taught a skill that they could use in the civilian world, or be able to work towards a military career. They would also receive necessities that they aren't now such as food, shelter, medical care, etc.

* They would be given a chance to earn an education.

Granted, some would not be accepted due to physical and mental health issues, but the same can be said of the non-homeless. This seems like a win-win situation to me.

Your thoughts?

I am a victim of sexual harassment 4 male soldiers tied me up in a chair with duct tape, gagged my mouth with duct tape, wheeled me into a supply cage, used a training aid mannequin in different sexual positions. I did not enjoy it, and I am not a fag or a baby or anything else. I couldn't say stop, because I was gagged. Now the military has a zero tolerance for this type of behavior. This incident happened in June 2006 this is March 2007, I am recently out of the active army, and enlisted in the reserves can I still do anything or is it to late for me. I want justice and a retired Command Sergeant Major told me to get out of his Army and that just fueles my anger knowing that he would have never done nothing if it happened to one of his own!

What is the point in nuclear warfare? Why do countries have to have warfare to protect their countries? If other countries didn't have their warfare then we wouldn't need to have ours. Doesn't it seem like a bit of a vicious circle... Just something i've been thinking about today...

Any thoughts?

Millions of Americans grew up in families where every generation has served & will continue to serve our country. These people never complain or doubt the current administration. They don't find fault and try to divide the people, and never put-down the USA.
They are MORE THAN PROUD to be an AMERICAN.

will.... think about this.

Weve been in this conflict since 2001, had roughly 5 years of actual war. Anyone who was already in the military prior to 9-11 has already come up for re-enlistment and if they wanted to could have left the army by now. Anyone who signed up after that WANTS TO BE FIGHTING THIS FIGHT, or is just a morron. Also, the re-enlistment rate is exceptionally high despite knowing the fact that they are going to spend at least 3 full years on tour. This shows the dedication our troops have to this objective of gaining stability in the middle east and also shows their trust in the commander-in-chief.


Also, we need Iraq to use as a point of launch for setting up attacks on Iran once they declare war with us. Its going to make things, easier, cheaper, and more effective.

I generally support Bush (I've lost half of you right there), but I'm wondering if this is what's actually happening:

Afghanistan and Pakistan (which has nukes, by the way) have leaders somewhat friendly to us, who are hanging by a thread. The populations probably include a large component who support bin Laden, or at least would be hostile to increased US presence. So the US treads lightly, with special forces, etc. and hopes to keep bin Laden bottled up at the very least. A massive assault would probably NOT do much in the area where he is suspected of being, other than inflame the population and weaken the regimes. We offered a $25 million bounty for ther guy, which has produced nothing. We don't know where he is. We're picking off deputies when and where we can. But there are some things we're NOT doing, for the reasons I stated.

That's my guess as to what's happening. What do you think?

How would YOU catch him? Be as specific as possible.

I just had a conversation with my very elderly grandfather, he's 95. He spent his career in the Treasury, and then moved up ranks quickly to become a Secret Service agent assigned to the President. Then Pearl Harbor hit and he begged to be put in battle. He was refused countless times due to his need within the Presidential detail. He was allowed to train then heard nothing. Then the Secretary of the Navy heard about Pappaw and said "he could enter into hell in Tawana". He did. His only battle. He was given a Navy Cross and the Medal of Honor (which I have).

Paps returned to Washington to his original post. Guarding FDR.

My Pappaw claims he was outside the door, heard a gunshot, rushed in and found FDR at his desk with a gun in his hand, and bullet to his head. The door was locked. He says that there was no stroke. Pappaw was immediately reassigned, and "forced to leave Service" and then swore to secrecy.

Anyone ever heard of this? A possible suicide?

My husband is in BCT for the army right now, and his MOS is going to be 15T... I was wondering if anyone knew what to expect? Deployments? Length? Location? Stationed at?

I know that you can't tell me all of this stuff, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this MOS, and what it was like for them?

That way when 15 British servicepeople are taken, we can go right in and get them back.

Is this too simplistic? If TomTom can get their solution that fits into the palm of my hand surely we could come up with something smaller like a RFID tag that could be sewn into clothing.

When their actions show there is no support of troops. For those not guilty of the same, why NO outrage???And why the Anti-American rhetoric????
