My husband got home from Iraq Dec. 3rd. We were relocated and he's scheduled to go back in 3 weeks. This will mean he'll only be home with me and our children 7 out of 34 mos. This is very excessive and the commanders he's working with aren't seeing it that way. Does anyone know what I can do or have you experienced this? Thanks for any info or suggestions!

I was watching Band of Brothers the other day and wondered how and why certain soldiers were assigned certain guns, such as the Carbrine or M1 or Thompson?

Just like tha Japanese did in WW2?

I know it would be a waste since the nuke wouldnt be targeted at any particular strategic location.

Wouldnt it be a "psichological" strike?

But is it possible?

If Nazi Germany had been honest with its citizens, and had told them that the USSR was being invaded not to free the people from oppressive Communism, but rather as a means to seize and control the Caspian oil fields, would WWII have turned out differently? Is it possible this strategy may have given the population something they could understand, instead of wondering why their forces were malingering around the USSR four years after the "liberation"?

Why do most American cars suck?

American cars are just cheap rubbish. They use old technology especially in the suspension set-up. You have like 4 liter engines and you can only get like 250 bhp. Its pathetic really. The interiors are just plastic and tacky and the mpg is crap

European and Asian cars are so much better. Cutting edge technology, high mpg, well made with nice interiors, and have STYLE. something American cars do not have

Just look how far this American car has come from 1998 to 2008

Looks quite the same.

There is one car i do like from America. The ford mustang looks good but maybe a little tacky on the inside.

Why cant Americans make a car that can go round a corner?? Everyone else can. Whats the problem? Do you have no corners in America? It must be well boring to drive over there.

Another problem you Americans have with cars culture is NASCAR the most boring racing of all

I hope nobody gets offended or think I'm anti American or anything I am just scared about the possibility of him having to go to war. Does anybody know the likelihood of him going to Iraq if he is just in the finance department?

Are there any other reasons for having a gun, other than killing helpless animals which makes some cowards feel powerful?

I am trying to reenlist into the Navy from the Army Reserves. I took my MEPS physical and I have two disqualifying issues. My cholesterol is a bit high and I have hardware in my neck from when I broke it two yrs ago.
This reenlistment is important to me and I want the waivers to be approved. Does anyone have any insight about the Navy BUMED waiver folks and whether or not I have a decent chance at getting them approved?

Suicide bombs are a daily occurrence in Iraq. We have nitrate sniffers at airports, so why not make use of such equipment in Iraq? Can they be installed on roving military vehicles? Are they only sensitive at close range? Take for instance those elemental chlorine bottles. They must come from a designated chemical processing location because it's not the same thing as Clorox bleach. There is a significant difference between Sodium Hypochlorite and elemental chlorine.

We the taxpayers are not paying for average rents. The average rent here is not what the people are charging for military people. Average nice place, Japanese size about $1200.00 a month USD. The military people are renting american size places that go for anywhere from $2000.00 to $4,000.00 a month. One of the reasons, a lot of these rentals are on beach front properties that get $4000.00 a month with american size and american appliances. The places have to have inspections and have to meet codes, american size, american toilets, refrigerators and so on. So if what you say is fact. Than as I suggest, we the taxpayers are getting taken for a ride. Overseas duty gets more pay and other things as well. If you are overseas you get extended leave to visit home, or you used to. There is way too much money being spent all of the world for this and it is a lot more then the $250 million you stated being spent on some airport. Thats my point of the post, accountabilty by the government.

This has got to be one of the best fighters ever made. Not to mention my most favorite aircraft on the planet. Now that they have been decommissioned, the only thing they have to look forward to is a degrading and disrespectful procedure I like to call being chopped up like roast chickens. This is something I would expect, oh, a piece of crud Cessna or something like that to go through. Yeah, there's a few exceptions. There's a handful that are in museums across the country that will escape this fate. And there's a handful that Iran has, but we can't even lay a hand on those because they don't belong to us anymore, and naturally, they, too, escape this fate. Personally, I'd like to see one be buried rather than being chopped up. I think it would be more respectful to both the aircraft and to those who have flown in these planes.

Being someone who loves these planes, I feel it is a great loss. And I'm sure it's no trip to Disneyland for those who have flown them.

I am 17 and thinking of joining the U.S. Navy when I graduate from High School. I want to just be one of the regular people in the white uniforms that do the chores on board, and shoot the guns and stuff like that. I don't know what that position is called. Is it fun, are the supervisors mean, is it hard, do you get to just do whatever during the day, or do you work all day, and how long at a time are you out at sea? Also please tell me about the Navy's National Call to Duty 2-year plan. Please only respond if you have been in the service, or know about it. Thanks.
