Military - April 2007

My son will be returning from Iraq in a month. It's just for a mid-tour leave, but we are noticing changes in his behavior already. Are there any veterans that can help us to understand what to expect and what to do to ease his mind and heart?

I dont know if you've heard abuot these guys, but basically they blame the goverment for putting explosives at the twin towers and blaming them for all of 9/11

now I've seen all of the loose change documenteries and I've been to about 30-40 different websites about them

and I'm still not convinced

I do believe the goverment used 9/11 as an excuse to go to Iraq, and Its true that the goverment has sponsored terrorism in order to get what they want

But I dont believe these conspiracy theorious

what do you think?

Considering the fact he never really responded to the various attacks against the US, other than implementing policies that didn't seem to do much, why do people claim Clinton was strong against terrorism? Please review this article as a primer.

Prince Harry will be deployed with his regiment to Iraq, General Sir Richard Dannatt, the head of the British Army announced. This follows speculation last week about whether or not Prince Harry would be sent. The Ministry of Defence had said his deployment was under "constant consideration".

Source: Detroit area. Home of 500,000 Arabs. ( In three county area ) Iraq man stated to me this morning at the Big Boy restaurant in Mt Clemens that the USA is spinning their wheels and will never win in Iraq. The war is lost he said. The Iraqi man said the Iraq people want the troops out of their country and will not accept the puppet government that Bush set up. Then the intense Iraqi man looked at me and said something that chilled me to the bone. He said "Your American men and women are dying for nothing and the Iraqi people do not care at all about the deaths of the Americans". Then he turned around to eat and just shook his head.

I've got over a thousand men/women in the service who will walk/hold signs with me. Some will wear their military uniforms with their hats on backwards and shirts unbuttoned to protest the illegal war in Iraq. I, as a former military man, will wear my old uniform and I will have a sign painted on my back to let all know I'm ashamed of the USA Government. I will salute with my left hand and say "I'm sorry the USA is bringing shame to the USA people in the eyes of the world"....Then I will assume the thousand yard stare due to the disbelief the USA is once again making a terrible mistake like Vietnam. ( By the way...Over 104 American men were killed in Iraq in the month of April ) Note: For nothing.

He's a royal and is, what, third in line to the throne? Is this a good thing to allow him to go to Iraq and perhaps be killed?

I would like to hear your "rational-intelligent" view point what will happen to Iraq and the entire middle east region if the U.S. pulls it's military out as some want by March 2008.

1. How will this effect the terrorist?
2. What would this say to the people of Iraq who want fredom & democracy?
3. Would this help America postion on the war against terror?

That brings the total killed much higher this month.
They use to do that for generations but no one knew about it.
Now we keep a count. Millions usually die in their wars like Iran and Iraq so I guess this isn't bad they can bred faster than that. How many are left anyway?

I have mild asthma that is controlled with pills, and occasionally an inhaler. Can anyone tell me a success story about getting through basic training with asthma, or any tips to sneak my pills and inhaler in? I know all the reasons not to, but I'm doing it anyway. Just need to know how.
