I mean we are equal right?

By the way, for those who don't know the selective service is for the draft.

Why are United States troops still using depleted uranium sabot tank rounds? The European Parliament, dozens of non-governmental organizations, and even a UN Subcommission call for a ban on this type of ammunition, because of the horrible health effects it has.

Depleted uranium is composed primarily of the stable isotope U-238, but contains small amounts of U-235. It is used to make tank rounds, because it is extremely dense and penetrates well. Once the round is fired, however, it becomes superheated and sheds particles into the air. Once even a few particles of radioactive U-235 are inhaled, they remain in the lungs forever, dooming the person to radiation sickness and cancer. This was a tremendous problem with Gulf War vets and will soon be visible in our brave soldiers fighting in this war.

What is wrong with our government? We are literally passing future death sentences for our soldiers. In what way is this acceptable?

I'm researching this and would prefer it come from a credible source (i.e. an enlisted or previously active duty soldier, a credible source, etc.).

Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State under Nixon and practicioner of "Realpolitik." This is a German word meaning "realistic politics", which describes the practice of aggressive foreign policy using political, military, and economic bullying for superiority. It is the opposite of the unrealistic or idealistic style of foreign policy that is noble, nice, and feel-good. This is what he thinks about the military:

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." ~ Henry Kissinger ~ January-February 2003 edition of Eagle Newsletter

Why is this man advising the current administration on the war in Iraq? Anyone who respects the soldiers of this country would never employ someone with so much disregard for them. This is despicable.

Or are they fighting a battle at home on how 2 stay away from alcohol, sex and drugs. While millions of innocent people are dying they are drunk and high on drugs. Thousands of American soldiers have died while they enjoy life. They worrying about how they are gonna get that expensive purse. How can they get there hands on it before any other rich girl does? Do you agree or disagree?

The brave Iranian Republican Guards forced a female British soldier to write an abrasive letter towards England. Now the world is seeing just how honorable Iran truly is. I guess the Iran government thinks this will make them giants in the eyes of the West. However, this is an example of piracy and ruthlessness. This makes the Persian movie even more believable.

I saw my first soldier die my 2nd month in Iraq. Kept having this idiot theist from arkansas with a college degree (in religious studies no less; kinda seems like getting a degree in astrology to me but yeah) yammer on about how "it's god's plan" and asking me to talk about it with him. First thing i asked him was, "sir, don't they allow atheist chaplains?" He was offended. I found it a bit offensive myself that i had to talk to some idiot that thinks the earth has only existed for 10,000 years about my first confrontation with gory death. What makes him an expert? Why couldn't i have had someone who had a realistic view of the world to talk to?

Why is the Secret Service so lame? Chasing Money forgers lame:) Obviously looking after the interests of major CD and DVD makers. Typical.

What about the the CIA you may ask. Do any of their experts even know what onion routing is, let alone what a proxy server is?

I used an FBI webserver to host online games and did not even use a proxy, as the box I used is infected so they delete the spyware on my box for me for free. If US citizens are so worried about such dim government agents, I have got nothing to fear.

Maybe I will send the FBI a photo of myself sitting on 40 kilos of weed. Makes not difference.

A lot of people i hang around say that either the draft should or shouldn't be reinstated, but i have yet to develope an opinion. I dont know much about the needs we have for a draft, or the problems it would cause.
It would be very helpful if someone could tell me, with good reasoning, examples, or facts to back up your argument.
Thanks

Does anyone agree with me that we need immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq? Every day American soldiers are lost fighting in hostile, middle eastern territory. If we do bring our GIs back, we will not have any troops for the next 'big' war. Agree?
