Why don't politicians pay Troops who are actually on the ground in the theatre of war an hourly rate of pay instead of a salary - which if thought about dispassionately and logically no sane person in civilian life would ever think of signing on the dotted line for.
Troops working over a Friday to 00.01hr on a Monday - a usual occurrence and carried out without complaint - receive their normal monthly salary.
Civilian working same hours would automatically receive :
Friday - normal rate
Saturday - Time & a half
Sunday - BINGO !! DOUBLE rate
Even those working on minimum wage stand a chance of earning more money working weekend shifts... but NOT troops who daily put thier lives on the line for just a very basic salary out of which they still pay for food and accomodation - even if accom might be a tent, and food some out of a ration pack..no wonder squaddies demobbing to go into constructruction!
IF this concession offered for troops in Theatre, that may help recruitment problem

On March 16, 1945, during World War II, Iwo Jima was declared secured by the Allies.

Is the cycle of war still going on and will there ever be peace on the earth...?

When and/or how will the madness end....?

You never heard of peace talks? You never heard of negotiating?

Naive am I? Not as naive as those who think soldiers are the only ones who secure our freedom. Actually its the people who talk behind the scenes and calm things down which make things a lot more peaceful for society.

Did Britain stop the IRA because they just killed all its members? Or was it because they worked with and negotiated a settlement that we now have peace in the UK?

So can you all please shut up with this 'Soldiers are the only ones securing our freedom' rubbish and open your eyes.

i mean saddam was a bad man so we helped the people out by removing him. thats the argument.

So when are we removing the leaders from the following countries:

North Korea
Syria
Iran
Zimbabwe
Cuba

I mean surely if we are all going to be high and mighty and morally just about our mission, we are going to help everyone. Not just some random country. What made Iraq so special that the above countries dont qualify for invasion?

I have a 1 year old and a 2 month old. I am 20 years old and I want to pursue joining the Air Force. I was going to join after I graduated high school, but I ended up getting pregnant with my daughter. My fiance said that if I do decide to go that he will take care of the kids. Can I still enlist even though I have 2 kids?

and leave the service? Should all Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual people who have considered enlisting not do so? Should the LGBT community boycott military service? I'm just looking for opinions from the military community. Thanks.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

- Father Dennis Edward O'Brian, USMC

Do you feel this quote speeks the truth? Why or why not?

Well if the US is deficit and have 300 millions of people and they want to win in iraq, Why the US people is not willing to pay more taxes, send 3 millions of soliders to iraq to guard every corner of the country (US have 300 millions of people they even can lose 1 million of lives without a problem or risk to the country but we didnt see millions of volunteers go to the army like in WWII) ? Why not? The US people want war but they dont want to pay taxes for it? the US people want war but they dont want to risk their lives as they grampa did it? How they think that cant win to an enemy fully compromise with his cause? The USA have enough population to guard every meter of pipelines and every road, if is so important to win why not risk the life ? if the terrorist sacrifice their lives for their own cause? why the 300 millions of patriots dont do the same?

The "american" patriotism finish where the sacrifice begins?

As you may know the US has pledged defense to Taiwan which is under constant danger of being attacked by China to rejoin the homeland. You may not know that China has bought so many bonds from our government that if they cashed them all they could conceivably crash the US economy. Supposedly if you take out a mortgage on your home the Chinese government owns 1/8 of your house. So will the US defend its ally or protect itself.
P.S. China's attack is imminent and the are hard at work upgrading their military to remove Taiwan's technological edge.

Why do people, mostly kids, feel the need to come on here an degredate members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Do not get me wrong here, I'm not asking for their opinion of the war, this isnt about that, weather you support the President's decision to remain in Iraq is entirely irelevant to the fact you should support the Military.

Why do we not respect those who chose to put their life on the line to keep us free? Why do we Tell them what they are doing is wrong, and why the hell do we think its OK to do this stuff? Weather you agree with the fact the U.S. military is in Iraq or not, that doesnt give you a reason to ridicule the people who's job it is to protect you.

Sry, this was mainly a vent question, feel free to post any response you want, its a free country here in the US, many men and women have died to make sure it stays that way, think about them the next time you post anti-American remarks on here.

I think the war in iraq an the whole terrist bull is manufactored by bush an his family. With the addition with 9-11. Looking back there was no plane parts left at the pentagon huh? the whole was 60 feet wide , the wings of a 747 is bout 150.If we wanted to get the terrorist dont u think we would have went to afgan first instead of iraq? Dont u think we would have cuaght bin laden now?
