I saw a question about the draft maybe being re-established (I was drafted in the Army in 1968) and am wondering how people would feel if you had to do 2 years National Service, not in the military but somewhere like hospitals, working with the disabled, etc.,

Would you be willing to do it, if so why? If not, why not?

I would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

At this stage of the game, can we just pull our soldiers out, and supply the Democracy in Iraq with ammo, food and funds and have them fight their own revolution instead of fighting FOR them? We've been there too long, and too many people think we're trying to "Westernize" them anyway...let's go back to why we're there in the first place!

I served in the US Navy from 1982 - 1986 . However when it comes to certain entitlements and veterans preference (for jobs or otherwise) , I am not eligible for many of these . There is a period from after Vietnam in 1975 to the Gulf War 1991, that people are not given veterans status . This would include men who were in Beruit, Grenada , Gitmo , 38th parrallel, Berlin Wall or anywhere else where men were deployed in service to this country . Although this was a time of relative peace , a presence was always required in other parts of the world . There was as much risk of a breakout of any kind of hostilities ,as there was prior to the break out of The Gulf war . It was also the buildup of the US military at this time , that created a arms race with the Soviets , that brought about thier demise . I am of the opinion , that because of the sheer numbers of men that served during this time . The policy of this government is to save money by denying these men entitlements they r owed

I have been with my current boyfriend for almost a year now and I love him more then anything.I am in school right now and we are both 18. we have a 2 hour long distance relationship but get to see each other most weekends. he didnt graduate high school and had a pretty rough family life. He wants to join the marines because he feels that he will be able to make up for his past decisions and make a difference. he says he will be able to support me this way. I desperatley want him to stay and feel that I will be miserable being in a military relationship. but at the same time I feel that he will never be happy if he doesnt do this. any military wives or girlfriends? please help?

I know this is a very sensitive issue but has it received much Press exposure over there.? I know there will be a tendancy to protect your own folks but there does seem to have been other less tragic occurances that have been hushed up.Perhaps its time to be less secretive about military matters with the Allies so it can be sorted out forever.

but what I don't get is why are so many women against her? Don't you ladies realize what a triumph that would be for all women in America?
I see stupid reasons posted like "I wouldn't want her around when she's pm-essing" (she's over that by now) or "she couldn't even control her cheating husband, how's she gonna run the country?" (what's his cheating have to do with it?"). Or still another cliche, "she's too polarizing" (Not true, Hillary is very diplomatic & if you take the trouble to study her track record, you'll find that she is a uniter, not a divider like Bush. So, is it jelaousy or are you projecting your own insecurities through her? However, if you are, you need to realize that she's not like you. Hillary is what you should aspire to be, & hope that she can inspire your daughters so they too can be great achievers. When someone asks my daughter what are you going to be when you grow up, she can truthfully answer, I want to be president like Prez. Clinton!

Regardless of whether it's a soldier or someone who works for, not in, the military, how do you get a job? I was thinking of joining the Army when I grow up, but I'm not sure how you do that.

a) Do you have to take a test to join?

b) Do you have to have any college years under your belt?

c) What are good branches of the military to work in if I prefer to stay on land?

d) Any tips on getting in?

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - A military panel found a 101st Airborne soldier guilty of three counts of negligent homicide but not guilty of premeditated murder in the deaths of three Iraqi detainees.

Staff Sgt. Ray Girouard, 24, smiled as he hugged his defense lawyer and family members after the verdict was read.

The panel, which deliberated for four hours, also found Girouard guilty of obstruction of justice for lying to investigators, of conspiracy for trying to conceal the crime. Girouard could be sentenced to a maximum of 21 years in prison, said his lawyer, The sentencing portion of the trial begins Monday.

Girouard was accused of telling his soldiers to release detainees they captured during the May 9 raid near Samarra, Iraq, and then shoot them as they fled. He is the last and most senior soldier from the 101st Airborne Division to face trial in the killings. Girouard stated he did it for the United States. This is the American way he replied.
