Military - May 2007

This man ( who was eating at the Big Boy Restaurant) was telling everyone how proud he is to support the troops and to support President Bush. Then his 22 year old son walked in to join his dad. The son was wearing "Goth" looking clothes and his hair all spiked up. I walked up to shake the father's hand and said "Thanks for supporting the troops and the war. ( I told him I served in the military). Then I said "My cousin is a military recruiter and I'd like for your son to join up and wear the proud military uniform". Man!! You'd think I fed both father and son lemons. Both had a look on their face as if they sucked lemons. The father said " But!! But!! I only support the war as long as other men ( Sons ) fight and die. My son is going to college. Son stated: Man! No way will I go into the military....then son said "Are they still fighting in Iraq? The father said "I support the war by being a Republican. I turned around and said to all the people in the restaurant " A true Republican!

Support for the war came from various special interests that had agitated for an invasion of Iraq since 1998. The Iraq Liberation Act, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton, stated that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was official U.S. policy. This policy was carried out in 2003.

I asked my recruiter to reclass me to IS from HM. He says theyre working on it but if the process involves simply a phone call to meps then ill know hes not working on it! does anyone know what a recruiter has to actually do to accomplish a reclassification? any chance its a-- lots of paperwork/phone calls/days or weeks long process? or should it only take a few days and im being put on the backburner for now?

Im in the DEP as a hospital corpsman, but I want to be an IS. My ship date is sept 20th. when I ask about my reclassification status the recruiter tells me that theyre working on it and I dont have to really worry since the ship date is far off. Is he bullshitting me? I dont know what they have to do to get me reclassed and how complicated it is, if at all, so i dont know if maybe theyre not doing anything at all!

In Australia we don't have National Service anymore, apart from Israel i'm not sure if anyone does, maybe Greece or Italy ? My father did his National Service but WW2 was at an end, thank God ! Our Militia or National Servicemen were all that stood between Australia and the Japanese on the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Gunea & Borneo, prior to the arrival of the US armarda and the return of the Australian Imperial Force from Northern Africa to defend their own soil. They were able to hold on and force the Japs to develope a new phrase for retreat which was "Advance to the rear" ! as there was no known word for withdraw or "retreat" in the Japanese Army. So the efforts of National Servicemen should never be overlooked especially as they were only ever trained to fight on home soil if ever needed ! O r as a back up force to the Regulars.

With all the misdirection in todays youth shouldn't they re-introduce Composory National Service to instill National Pride, commitment and a work ethic?

He must have been certain that this war in Iraq was going to be a cake walk.

Since that hasn't turned out to be the case, we are having serious trouble getting a sufficient amount of qualified people to enlist in the military.

The entire military community is re-evaluating its position that the Republican party gives the military a more fair treatment than the Democratic party does.

In the meantime however, young people are shying away from enlisting during a time when we are bogged down in a serious military conflict abroad.

By his miscalculations about Iraq, hasn't George W. Bush done serious harm to our entire military?

if the u.s. military bombed the iraquian oil fields it would devestate them and allow the u.s. military to win a war that has been gtoing on too long. and also it would somewhat persuade the iraquians to think twice befor kidnapping any u.s. military.don't you agree?

As today current events, Israel launched air strikes on Palestine while they justified there attacks were aimed at "Islamic militant". Palestine are trying to bring a cease fire and peace between two countries yet, Israel is the one always taking advantage of the ceasefire to attack Palestine. Hey if they are trying to take out "Islamic militant", why not target Jordan or India or Pakistan when they have a Islamic militant problem too? Yet, they target Palestine for it. Don't you think that Israel is abusing there powers and taking there advantage to justify their attacks on Palestine, as President's bush's agenda in the middle east, also, their reputation in the global community and not the mention, the very cozy relationship with USA? Don't you think Israel has gone too far by destroying and ending the cease fire with there own strikes? Shouldn't we should justify Israel's intention wrong and absurd?

After all the complaints, field experiences (not reliable, easy to be jammed), why US has been so slow to replace the assault riffle?
M16 was really dissapointed in Nam, Afgan, Iraq..and now M4 is comming.
reported that it's really easy to be over-heated, easy to be jammed...
Heard about Delta boys has been using HK416, considered as very reliable weapons already..

Why it's so slow?
soldiers are dying out there

I have recently adopted a soldier from soldiers angels. Does anyone know how they match people with soldiers? I mean, I know it's random, but do the soldiers submit themselves? Because it seems strange that one would adopt a soldier that already has a lot of support from back home. And one last thing, why would a soldier have NO support whatsoever from back home?

Just seems like there should be something (infrared, magnetic sweeper, etc) that could warn a Hummer driver BEFORE an IED goes off.
And I may be wrong, but I believe there should be some kind of way to design a vehicle to minimize the damage of an IED.
