So I know what they are paid per month base while employed, but I hear they are paid extra while on tour in Iraq and other places. They live for free etc. Just wondering what the average pay is while on tour.

We're talking Canadian forces here

I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others
Who don't even care anymore

If I'm not exactly the same good ol' boy
That you ran around with before
I just came back from a war

"Darryl Worley"

This is from a country artist (I'm not sure weather he wrote the song or not) but you can feel the emotic he has for this. My question is, if a man who makes millions singing can do this to show our troops that we do care, and there are those who understand them, why do people on here find it so hard to do?

As an invading force, the U.S. Marines did their job. As a police force, there is a lack of acceptability and credibility by the people of Iraq regarding the Marines.

Are we overstaying our welcome???

Fear, Anger, Stress Grip Iraqis, Poll Finds
Few Express Confidence in U.S.-Led Troops
By WILL LESTER
AP
WASHINGTON (March 19) - The optimism that helped sustain Iraqis during the first few years of the war has dissolved into widespread fear, anger and distress amid unrelenting violence, a survey found.

The poll -- the third in Iraq since early 2004 by ABC News and media partners -- draws a stark portrait of an increasingly pessimistic population under great emotional stress. Among the findings of this survey for ABC News, USA Today, the BBC and ARD German TV:

-- The number of Iraqis who say their own life is going well has dipped from 71 percent in November 2005 to 39 percent now.

-- About three-fourths of Iraqis report feelings of anger, depression and difficulty concentrating.

-- More than half of Iraqis have curtailed activities like going out of their homes, going to markets or other crowded places and traveling through police checkpoints.

-- Only 18 percent of Iraqis have confidence in U.S. and coalition troops, and 86 percent are concerned that someone in their household will be a victim of violence.

A soldier accused of ordering subordinates to kill three Iraqi detainees should be sentenced to 10 years in prison, a military jury decided Monday.


Staff Sgt. Ray Girouard, who was found guilty Friday of negligent homicide in his court-martial, could have received up to 21 years in prison. He avoided a life sentence when he was found not guilty of premeditated murder.

Girouard was also found guilty of obstruction of justice for lying to investigators, of conspiracy for trying to conceal the crime and of failure to obey a general order. The soldier stated he was trying to make the people of the USA proud of his duty. I loved America was his last words as he headed for prison.

My babys father is in Iraq right now and he denies her. He wouldnt take a paternity test before he left and I am hurting financially. He wont even be back for another 5 months and Im really needing his help now, our baby is already 7 months old!! Someone told me that since the soldiers have their blood taken and stored that I might be able to request having the test done using that. Im having doubts about that though, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about that....

i really dont get it. if iraq was about removing a tyrant from power, wmds, and protect the gulf for its heavy duty oil interests, we should really invade the entire middle east too. how come only iraq? and what about iran? who clearly supports terrorism and provide hezbollah and terrorists in iraq with training, money, and weapons.

how come we have not done anything about darfur, sundan? is it because they dont have any oil? because they're not in a strategic oil location bush cant do anything?

is it because

1. bush has (now had) a personal hate agenda vs saddam for trying to kill bush sr.

and

2. counterpart buddy cheney was CEO of halliburton, biggest war profiteer on this war on terrorism?

i want to know your educated responses, thank you.
