Military - April 2007

Why do certain American think they are so much more civilized than people from other countries? For example Bush is no longer being support on this war in Iraq. The weapon of mass destruction is no longer upheld as the true reason for going to war with Iraq. This war has lasted longer than the war in vietnam and with way more casulties. How do people sleep at night and know there is a holocaust taking place as we go about our daily life thinking it's them not me so it seem justified.
I believe this is why America is experiencing so many natural disasters.
May the power that be look up favorable on anyone who should make a mockery of social injustice in the name of falsehood or biggotry.
It is true that muslim and christian have lived in peace in Iraq for centries. For those who find favor with the outcome of the lost of human lives picture it being your family members maybe your view will change.
If you can't find value in these words than maybe one day you will...

Infantry? I scored in the 99th % on the ASVAB. I got a 32 on the ACT and yes I guess that would make me smart?! I want to enlist active duty instead of going to college at this time. I want to be down there.


Anyways, I've been talking to my Army recruiter and he keeps pulling for me to go intel, I have no desire for that I want to be a grunt, I want to fight for my country, I wouldn't feel right sitting at a desk all day.

He told me that someone of my *smarts* wouldn't fit in, and he says I'd do much better as intel.


I thought they were desperate for grunts so why does he keep pressuring me to do intel when I'm a willing grunt?

Among the many popular Conservative fabrications, this one may be the most ridiculous. Only a simple-minded half-wit would believe that if we end the occupation of Iraq and redeploy our troops, all the “terrorists” will hop on a plane and follow us home. That anyone would believe this propaganda is incomprehensible. The notion that our military presence in Iraq is keeping the terrorists there is utterly absurd. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Are we really fighting terrorists in Iraq or are we helplessly trapped in the crossfire of a civil war? How do you identify a true terrorist and distinguish them from Iraqi citizens defending their sovereignty? If another country invaded America, would we not defend ourselves? Would the defenders be called “terrorists”? How does the war in Iraq prevent terrorists from coming to America? Where’s the credible connection?

Please tell me why you are proud to be an American. I for one would like to say how thankful and proud I am of every soldier fighting, for every family who sent them, for every heart that prays for them, for those in Congress who will support them. May God bless our leaders! May God bless America!

I am doing a presentation on battles of World War 2. I was looking at the battle of Normandy (D-Day) and came across the word bridgehead. I looked up the definition and am still confused about what it is.

Can you please give me a description of what it is along with an example?

Thanks in advance!

...or indeed the USA or the UK or France or China or India or Russia?

I'm less interested in strategic or geopolitical viewpoints, rather I'd like to hear the ethical justification.

I'd prefer answers from pro-war people only. Serious answers please. I'm looking for some sense of what that means for people who support the war.

Kerry, as a reserve Naval Officer went to Paris during the Summer of 1970, and had unauthorized meetings with enemy Communist North Vietnamese leaders, without the approval of the US Navy or US Government.....

One year later, 1971, Kerry tells the Senate that the US should retreat in Vietnam.

What does Kerry have to hide that he refuses (still into the present day) to provide any official transcript or official testimony of what was discussed at those meetings?

I guess every reserve naval officer should have unauthorized visits with enemy leaders of a country in a military conflict with the US, even if it compromises national security....

/sarcasm off...

Who needs Benedict Arnold when we have John Kerry?

At least the Navy stripped him of his Top Secret clearance as a result of this treachery.

I give a rat's behind @ what he did in Vietnam, it's what he did AFTER, at this meeting and his closely guarded secrecy about it, that bothers me.

obviously the treaty was broken once the war started but how did the germans manage to have such army to be able to start a war.

The people of this country have been killing each other for thousands of years. Fighting a "holy war" since the begining of time. They don't hesitate to kill the people that want to help or there own people with a suicide bomb. So what are we waiting for? Lets drop a couple MOAB (Mother of all Bombs) on them and help them finish what they already want. To be dead. This is bull that our brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, and dads are dieing for a group of people that were already killing themselves.

We have these students from the college collecting money for liberal causes all the time. I got tired of telling them to suck an egg. They still come in my yard and ask. Last night 2 of them came in past the no trespassing sign so I waited til they were halfway to the front door, (no escape for them) and turned loose my mastiffs. Needless to say there was much screaming and barking and of course major league biting. I called the cops and then had them arrested. My wife said I was too mean. What do you think?

If we closed all the VA hospitals and gave all military/veteran personnel a insurance card. They could visit any doctor, any hospital, and receive the same care as civilians. Would this improve their healthcare system? What are your thoughts?

Just got off the phone with my BF who's leaving tomorrow to Iraq with his MiTT.

He dropped me a bomb by saying he's the primary driver (?) of their team Humvee.

Does anybody know how often the troops go out with or without IA in Humvees? And is it more dangerous to be a driver than a passenger?

The IED attack is already over 40% of all fatalities.... I am so freaked out.
