I've been told it's the Navy, but that doesn't make sense to me if the war is being waged in a land locked country...but what do I know, that's whhy I'm asking the question.

Lies, Lies, Lies!

For centuries the West has used lies, propaganda and fear to wage war.

Why should anybody believe or buy into Britain's or America's account of any event in that region?

If not, would they keep information about Vets who recieved Medals?

Because my Great-GrandFather served in WW2 (Battle of the Bulge) and I don't know much about him, other then that he recieved several medals.

Vast difference if you think in terms of how normal citizens being interrogated by secret services in the UK and America (Secret prisons etc) or by any other parties - compared to how 'BRITISH SOLDIERS' slithering around Iranian borders, maybe looking for trouble and maybe provoking the Iranians.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With George W. Bush struggling to stay relevant in his final 22 months in the White House, his administration is looking more and more like the incredible shrinking presidency.

Also how could the US gov't say they had no idea about 9/11 when NORAD ran terror drills on 9/11 based on planes flying into the WTC and Pentagon?

So it is no small irony that today's U.S. Army finds itself under the greatest strain in a generation. The Pentagon made that clear April 2 when it announced that two Army units will soon return to Iraq without even a year at home, compared with the two years units have traditionally enjoyed. One is headed back after 47 days short of a year, the other 81. "This is the first time we've had a voluntary Army on an extended deployment," says Andrew Krepinevich, a retired Army officer who advises his old service. "A lot of canaries are dropping dead in the mine."

I've heard alot of criticism aimed toward the brits and their confessions.

But look at it this way,

If Iran offered the sailors a deal, like a plea bargain, and agreed to release the sailors without standing trial as long as they admitted their guilt. Then wouldn't it be smart cooperate?

In Iran the penalty for what they would have been tried for is death, and i think it's safe to assume they would have been found guilty.

There's no way Britain would allow it's sailors to be excecuted.

So not only did the sailors save their own lives by confessing, whether they were guilty or not, but in a very real way, didn't they also prevent a large scale violent conflict? If not a declaration of war?

I think this is a likely scenario and if it is the case, I think the brits made a damned good decision, not only for themselves but for their country.

Before you answer my question keep in mind, The president of Iran is a holocaust denier, Iran has called for the destruction of Israel a numerous amount of times, Iran is arming the Insurgents in Iraq so they can KILL American troops, and last the U.S. Navy has maintained a presence in the Persian Gulf for the last 2 decades for a couple of reasons-the most important reason being is that the U.S. Navy keeps the waters of the Persian Gulf peaceful so that Merchant ships can sail to their destination freely. If Iran gets Nuclear Weapons then we will have to pull our Navy ships out of the Gulf for fear of an Iranian Nuke strike that could kill thousands of sailors.

Right now im a 16 year old Sophomore who lives in South Carolina. I go to a private school with a good reputation and I get good grades(about 3.5 GPA) but I don't take any AP classes yet and im probably not in the top 40% of my class. I come from a military family and have a Dad that was in the Navy for 27 years and made the rank of Captain as a surgeon. I also have 20/20 eyesight which is necessary. I know that you have to get a letter from your state senator, but as of now how do I look for getting in?

honestly I am proud that the 15 british troops are back home, but I cant help but state that I am dissapointed in them. it did not take them long to give in to Tehrans wants and apoligize for something they didn t do. and then shaking hands with the enemy. I mean that is humiliating for the western powers. how can people be proud if their servicemen are so easily manipulated to do what the enemy wants them to do. I know for a fact if it were the U.S. troops they would not have given in, and would never shake hands with our enemy. It is dissapointing on how the british soldiers handled the situation. it is just humiliating for the west. my own personal opinion, I do not believe that those captured troops should be able to where those uniforms again. and the british military should start paying attention to their interrigation training for troops, hopeing this will never happen again. what are your thoughts on the topic?

3000 dead in one attack is no big deal...the USA killed millions in the Vietnam WAR.

The USA is a nation or BOMBERS...9'11/01 was just a tiny morsel of Karma for a nation of BOMBERS....ours. Death by bombings is what america is all about

No one knows how many MILLIONS of people the USA has killed in it's strategic bombings.

Yet americans actually think the USA wants PEACE LMAO

Does anyone know if lasik is allowed before enlisting, and if not is there a certain amount of time you must wait? (I was reading over basic requirements to join the Navy and they said in some cases, if you had lasik eye surgery you were disqualified. Then I read that they let one guy in who had it because a certain amount of time had passed.)
