Now that many soldiers are against the war and are protesting? Or, do they only support the troops when they are being shot at in a needless, unjust and bloody war based on lies and on stealing the oil from Iraq?

I'm doing a presentation on USAF jet pilots, and equipment. My question to you is, whether this is actually the sort of helmet a REAL jet pilot would wear. Thank you for all of your help!

When soldiers go to war...most of them think their just gonna shoot a few and come back home "heros". when they really get into war, they learn to love and really mature and become aware of how life isnt something to take granted, about how you shouldnt complain that you didnt get the "right type of wine" or the "sofa isnt comfy enough". and all the small stuff in life. but after war the only way out is through a body bag or wounded...those who make it back. what happens to them? they are so traumatized by war and stuff ? how do they go on with their normal lives again? what happens to them?

So I talked with a recruiter, and will more than likely join. What should I look forward to during basic training? My husband, a Marine, says it will be a cake walk (easy for him to say). How bad is it?

A US soldier has testified that his commander ordered him to kill three Iraqi detainees, then cut him with a knife to make it look as if there had been a struggle.

Specialist William Hunsaker told a court martial for Ray Girouard on Tuesday that the staff sergeant ordered him and another soldier to free the men, then shoot them as they ran.

"They're going to cut the ties, tell them to run, shoot them," Hunsaker quoted Girouard as saying.

Girouard, 24, is the last and most senior soldier from the 101st Airborne Division to face trial in the killings, which occurred during a May 9 raid on a suspected fighters' camp near Samarra.

Hunsaker and Private First Class Corey Clagett have already pleaded guilty and co-operated with prosecutors. They were sentenced to 18 years in military prison.

Court testimony

Hunsaker testified on Tuesday that after the squad took the three detainees into custody, Girouard told the soldiers that the group's first sergeant was angry that the detainees were still alive.

Hunsaker said he and Clagett took the three detainees outside, away from other soldiers.

Hunsaker said that he pulled down their blindfolds and looked them in the eyes and that Clagett told them in Arabic to run.

"I shot him [the first detainee] where his heart should be. I moved from right to left. I took aim in the same manner and aimed for the heart and the head,'' Hunsaker said.

He said that after the detainees were shot, Girouard cut Hunsaker with a pocket knife, saying: "It's got to look good."

Another soldier, Specialist Bradley Mason, testified that he heard Girouard order Clagett and Hunsaker to kill the detainees.

Helped 'cover up'

Anita Gorecki, Girouard's lawyer, said in opening statements that the sergeant never ordered his soldiers to shoot the detainees, but that he did help cover up the killings.

"He realised they killed the detainees, and in that moment, yes, he decided to help his squad members," she said.

The soldiers had previously told investigators they were given rules of engagement by Colonel Michael Steele, the 3rd Brigade commander, to kill all military-age men.

Steele has denied this but invoked his right not to testify.

Since the civil war. USA needed allies to defeat all of our enemies right? British was one, then against Germany we had to have our allies including Russia to defeat Germany and with Japan, we had to use Nuclear bomb. With Korea we had to have all our allies again but when N. Korea got help from China we were pushed back. Then the Vietnam and I don't need to go there. Now what about Iraq. We're struggling again! So why are we number one? Is the U.S. delusional at this point?

Polls say that most Americans either want to keep them there for another year or stay until the job is done.
37% says a year.
39% said the troops should stay in Iraq as long as needed.
21% says pull out now.

The CNN poll was conducted Friday through Sunday by Opinion Research Corp. Pollsters interviewed 1,027 adults for the survey, which had a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Wow... Notice the amount of people CNN had surveyed for this poll.
