Military - April 2007

The Navy's newest ship, the USS New York, has been launched. 24 tons of steel from the World Trade Center was used in the casting of the bow of this ship. Governor George Pataki asked that the Navy name a surface warfare ship for New York even though state names usually go on submarines, and the Navy approved it. Here's the unique part. The last USS New York was launched on September 11, 1911. WOW, talk about appropriate!!! If you Google the USS New York you can see photos and read all about it.

Source: Decal on his car. ( I support the war ) I requested him to talk his two sons into going in the Army or Marines. He looked at me like he was sucking lemons. Then he cussed me out and ran away. ( Note: This happened at the Big Boy in Mount Clemens Michigan)

Also at a news conference, Susan Dinsdale, whose son has served two tours of duty in Iraq, said, "I am begging the president to bring our troops home." Tears welled in her eyes as she added, "This war is senseless. I don't want our soldiers to feel like they have served in vain."

why wont he listen to the majority of people in this country in ending his fallacious war?

think about it first. i know most people think defending your country is more dignified and honorble but both of them is simply serving your countries interest. there is a downside to defending it too, e.g. you are poorly equiped and its likely you will be given a bad name like terorrists or insurgents. like they are in many countries.

This proud Republican stated he supports the war in Iraq as long as his children do not have to fight. His words flowed out of his mouth like this " If my kid had to go in I would be against the war "BUT" as long as other people are losing their kids then I'm all for the war". That....is a true republican!!

What were the pros/cons living in a military family? Was moving around from base to base an issue for you, or did you see it as an adventure? Do you resent your parents because they never really provided any roots? Was it difficult to make friends, or did you have an easy time? Do you think you got to spend enough quality time with your parents, particularly the one who was deployed? I'm more interested in how the military lifestyle affects the family concerning things they really can't control, such as moving. Not about what it was like living in a "strict" or "rigid" household. Thank You.

I wasn't advocating the killing of innocent starving children, but knowing that the Militia in Darfur are faced with these decisions that they seem to take lightly I was interested in a Western Soldiers view on how difficult they would find it confronted with such a situation.

Also in the Sudan a, child soldiers are a bigger threat to relief workers and the UN as a question answerer quite rightly stated that child soldiers are more dangerous than an adult one as they have no sense of compassion or right or wrong. We are trained to a degree on how to handle child soldiers so was interested again if you were trained any differently as soldiers.

I also apologise to those who think my questions are stupid and pointless, but I guess you don't have to look at them if you don't want to. Its true that I've never served in the Military but have managed to get under their feet several times (sorry!), but I have the upmost respect for those of you that serve and have served.

The French--and other Europeans who opposed the invasion-- were clearly right about Iraq. Whatever about the legal and moral arguments, in political terms it was clearly a mistake. With the exception of the overthrowing of Saddam (and even his execution was bungled and turned him into a kind of martyr) it has been a long catalogue of one disaster after another. Iraq has descended into sectarian civil war, as was predictable and predicted. The world is undoubtedly a more dangerous place as a result of the invasion. Is it not time to say sorry to the French, and start eating French Fries again?
