What was the reasons why the Japanese decided to get involded in WWII against America? I'd like to know as well if the Japanese and the Germans were allies at any point during the war since they had an enemy in common.
I did study it in school but don't remember and don't have the books anymore.

With more than 60 years having elapsed since the end of World War II, when do you think the next global war will take place, and who will the combatants be on both sides?

for instance, if a friend shoots you accidentally and you die, said friend MUST stand trial and usually does a stretch of jail time.
In the same situation, within the armed services, why should they be exempt from the same punishment?

Life lost is still life lost, either way.

I am a American soldier. I go to work every day. I make no decisions that effect our foreign policy. I spend months upon months in countries away from my home and my baby boys. I don't hate Iraq, I don't hate Iran. When I look at my country I see only the others around me who sacrifice their time, their lives........I live paycheck to paycheck, I recycle(most of the time)and I'm nice to my neighbors. Does the world see my uniform as the face of our Executive Branch? As a soldier I will continue to do whatever I am told, I will hand my 2 month old twin boys over to my wife as I leave for Iraq again. I have stood in the sands of Iraq, there is a definite evil that encompases their land, but as with ours the problem lies with the powerful few. Do you hate me? I serve for my children, I serve for my old high school, I serve for my Grandfather who fought a real enemy on the shore of Normandy. I am confused. Do you hate me?

Each soldier wears an undershirt, long-sleeved camouflage shirt and long pants, thick socks and then heavy combat boots, then on top of that they wear heavy body armor, some are now wearing armor over their upper arms and groin too, then they have the kevlar helmet, then they have their rifles or machine guns (some of which can be really heavy), then they have to carry all their own ammo (which is also heavy), their sidearms, and all their gear on their bodies and in their heavy packs. And then they have to spend long days on their feet in 120+ degree heat and be able to maintain focus and fight the enemy.

Isn't there a serious danger of just passing out from the heat, and even if they don't, can't their combat performance be diminished and their exhaustion increased from all this heavy gear in such heat? Is it possible that being lightly equipped (like the insurgents in Iraq are) might be an advantage?

Thank you, answers from military personnel are greatly appreciated.

We only hear about the deaths in Iraq but what about the soldiers who are injured physically and mentally?

sf chronicle----Few saw it coming, but six years into combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, health care providers are overwhelmed by the demand of returning veterans suffering from mental health stress or traumatic brain injury.

Few understood the financial impact war would have on the Veterans Affairs medical system, projected by a Harvard economist's study earlier this year to be as much as $600 billion.

An expert report warning that the long-term health of Iraq's civilian population would be endangered by British and US depleted uranium (DU) weapons has been kept secret. The study by three leading radiation scientists cautioned that children and adults could contract cancer after breathing in dust containing DU, which is radioactive and chemically toxic. But it was blocked from publication by the World Health Organisation (WHO), which employed the main author, Dr Keith Baverstock, as a senior radiation advisor. He alleges that it was deliberately suppressed, though this is denied by WHO.

Does it depend on how long you've been in the millitary before you get benefits
He has to go to the dentist to get his teeth fix.
he claims that millitary would not pay for it.
He's been there for about 5 years
He even gets a VA check.
So shouldn't he see a dentist on base
Wouldn't the millitary give him a percentage to pay regardless of how long he was in the millitary

Politicians aren't war experts or battle strategists, so why should they have the most power on the military. I say thay we should have the Joint Cheif of staff be the commander in chief of the military so we dont screw anything up.

Do politicians actually know anything about war? No They are policticians, they get elected to make laws. Generals on the other hand, actually have military training.

Politicians DO know what will happen to Iraq if we pull out, it would be anarchy. On the 2nd day, the gov't would be dismantled, and it would be anarchy. Thousands would die, it would be terrible. But politicans don't ******* care. They are selfish. Generals aren't selfish, and know the consequences.

What's say you.
