Military - March 2007

I have already asked questions and have recieved many answers. One thing I would like to find out is which would be better: The Navy SEALS or the Marines. It may sound strange,Or maybe you know how I feel, but I find the challenging and mentally/physically exhausting to be fun. I find doing crazy things like jumping out of a plane and freefalling miles behind enemy lines or fighting off terrorists with only a couple other guys beside you to somthing that I would like to do. The question is what should I be looking to do when I join. Right now im shooting for the naval achademy, what should I be looking to do. Im deffinitly joining the military but what would be me best shot at doing stuff like that? Should I be considering The SEALS program or heading towrads force recon in the Marines? OR is there somthing else in another branch of the military that Im not seeing Im just unsure of which branch I should be looking to join to get what I want. I am dedicated and WILL work for it.

Bush says setting a hard pullout date will embolden terrorists who will make plans to step up their attacks after U.S. troops leave. But, won't it be obvious when we are leaving if a date is announced or not? You can't pull 160,000 troops out at once. It takes time. It will be obvious we are leaving even if a date is not announced. Do you think the terrorists will just suddenly wake up one day and say, "Oh, sh*t! They're gone!" Puh-leeze!

If the iraqis are stomping the US imperialists this hard imagine what China would do? I expect the odds to be anywhere between 100:1 to 1000:1 China.

I was just wondering if there are army dogs in Iraq and if they get to come home too, or if they will be abandon like the dogs in Vietnam.

I mean I understand the contribution the Army and the Marines give the war. I also respect the Navy for their tradition and contributions. I also understand that the Air Force is the youngest branch but they do contribute alot of effort and skill.

So far well over 3,000 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq alone and that doesn't include the ones killed in Afganastan or anywhere else since he started his war against Iraq. Does anyone out there care that he has killed more Americans thenhj any terrorist ever did?

I just want to hear your opinions. I have read in countless History Textbooks in school about how Pearl Harbor was a suprise attack: But I have also read countless books about how Pearl Harbor may not have been a surprise. The books told me that Japan had actually contacted the U.S. that they were planning an attack on the Harbor (since an army must, according to the "rules" of war) and the American Army had purposefully silenced this fact from their soldiers about the attack (in other words kept it a secret): To enrage them and pit their anger against the Japanese. Do you think this is true? Have you ever heard of anything like this?

My classmates and I disagree on this. Some think that Japan was ready to surrender anyway and an invasion and/or use of the atomic bombs was unjustified. Others argue that if we hadn't used the atomic bomb, Japan wouldn't have surrendered until after more combat, killing more people.

Who's right?

Apparently Iraq's VP has offered talks with faction leaders/militias. But some believe Al Quaida and other outside influences will never let this happen, or will prevent a government from taking root even if the main internal factions reach a political agreement.

There seem to be two main opinions about Iraq now. One is that the Sunnis and Shiites are willing and able to work something out and get along, and that it is just these other militia groups like Al Quaida who are making it difficult, through violence, for them to come to terms.

The other view is that the centuries-old rivalry between the Sunnis and Shiites is at the heart of the problem, and that it is essentially a civil war between them (and to a lesser extent the Kurds) that would exist with or without the influence of these other militants.

Which view is correct, and what is the way to proceed?

I specifically remember people telling me how the Iraq War would end up being long, there were not going to be the WMDs made after '98, cost a lot, and ultimately fail. This was before the war even started. Now it hasn't ended yet, so that last one is still open. But I honestly thought, "hey, it's just Iraq, we should be able to destroy their army, control their country, and help them install a new government in less then a year." I thought all those saying different were just nay saying. But it turns out they were right.

Do you know anyone who was mostly accurate in their prediction of the war? What did you think about that then? What do you think about it now?
