My husband is in the Army, and we are PCS'ing to Okinawa, Japan (Kadena AFB) in September. This is our first overseas move, so this is all new to us. I've received information from the Army about the culture, and what to expect, etc. But if anyone has ever lived there, I'd love to get some input. Tell me what it's REALLY like, and any advice you can give me (pre-move, housing, etc). I'm very excited about it, but I'd like to be as prepared as possible. I would really appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!




Note: I've done a lot of research on the internet, as well as travel guides and pamphlets from the Army. I really want to hear from people who have been there. Thanks!

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has notified more than 35,000 Army soldiers to be prepared to deploy to Iraq beginning this fall, a move that would allow commanders to maintain the ongoing buildup of troops through the end of the year if needed.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Tuesday the deployment orders, which have been signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, do not mean that the military has made a decision to keep the increased level of 20 brigades in Iraq through December. A brigade is roughly 3,500 soldiers.

Instead, he said the decision gives the Pentagon the "capability" to carry the buildup to the end of the year. The replacement forces, Whitman said, would give commanders in Iraq the flexibility they need to complete the mission there. However, the everyday military man states this is not going to work. The USA will go down in defeat just like Vietnam. The troops will have died for nothing. Again....Like Vietnam.

The Iraq War will end up just like the Vietnam War. Although many people refuse to accept that it will be another Vietnam (by stating that American casualties is not as heavy as in the Vietnam War), but all the other ingredients that will make it another Vietnam are there. Primarily, the majority of the American people does not support the war. President Bush's approval rating is at its lowest, 28% (mainly because the majority disagree of the way he managed the war). Many Republicans distanced themselves away from Bush's policies. Militarily, there are no set goals or objectives to achieve. Simply put, the words "surge" or "stay the course" would not achieve anything because there isn't any clearly defined set of objectives to pursue. Even the claims of "winning" or "losing" the war became already so obscured, because there are no metrics or yardstick to correlate them to. It appears that the American troops are only baby-sitting an Iraqi civil war, something that they really cannot do anything about (for they cannot take sides to favor either the Sunnis or the Shias). Since the war's beginning, all the top military commanders already made it clear that military action alone wouldn't win the war. The overall strategy should also include political solutions, economic solutions, socio-religious solutions, and diplomatic dialogues with Iraq's neighbors. Now, it's already the 4th year of the war and only the military solution has been pursued all along (and the U.S. is not even winning convincingly in this aspect alone). All the other solutions were completely ignored.

So yes, the Iraq War have a lot of parallels with the Vietnam War. It's only a matter of time before the policy-makers in Washington realizes this.

Did that stop us from invading numerous countries in WWII to liberate the concentration and death camps? Did that stop us from entering Vietnam or even Iraq?

Personally, I find the idea that "we can't enter Pakistan because they won't let us" a crock and an excuse not to go looking for him. If this man, the man that perpetrated the kind of crimes he did on 9/11 is truly hiding in Pakistan, then why are we to scared to enter?

And please try to answer this question without bringing up Clinton? He screwed up, we know it, I'm saying it. But the fact is, constantly bringing it up isn't gonna change the fact that he's still out there. And if anything, by "manning up", this would add to credibility for Bush, who at this point needs all he can get.

Six "Islamic radicals" involved in a plot to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey were arrested Monday night, the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey said Tuesday.

One of the suspects was born in Jordan, another in Turkey, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. The rest are believed to be Yugoslavian, "either U.S. citizens or living illegally in the United States," the office said in a statement.

"Their alleged intention was to conduct an armed assault on the army base and to kill as many soldiers as possible," according to the statement.

The six are expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Camden on Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.

"Can we please just kill all muslims to end the threat, what will it take for the idiots to wake the hell up"

My husband is in the Air Force. We are newly weds and he was just sent to Charleston SC. i am here with him in a Hotel room. Until July. I am applying for a few jobs to make some extra cash and to get out of the house for awhile. Sitting at home all day everyday gets a little boring. So please if you could, tell me what you do. As far as hobbies go, my husband and i both love video games so i spend my day Cleaning, cooking breakfast at 6am, lunch at 11, and supper whenever. The day goes by fast but still, i find myself with no ambitions. i want to be a mother and a good wife. He supports that. But he also brings it to my attention often that i am doing nothing with myself. I can't exactly get a steady job. Every job i get an interview for will not hire me because i will not be here until july. I want to study psychology. how would i go about that, being on the move. I need to be productive. For whenever i do have children i want to give them my knowledge. Anything will be appreciated.

We are outraged that the Iraqi government is going to take off for 2 solid months this summer while our brave and valiant soldiers will continue to give their lives in battle during that same period!

But wait a minute here!

How much time has our BLUNDERER-IN-CHIEF spent on that ranch of his in Crawford?

How often does that cowardly LEMON-IN-CHIEF sneak off to that ranch of his in Crawford, Texas while soldiers continue to die in battle in Iraq?

The Iraqi government is going to be MISSING IN ACTION for two months this summer.

In George W. Bush, they have an excellent teacher who shows them how to be MISSING IN ACTION and get away with it.

Didn't all of the people who voted for George W. understand that there was plenty of evidence that he operated this way?

How can you tell that a Republican president has been MISSING IN ACTION?

Because, in 87 months as president, he has vetoed only two bills !!!!

How can we veto a presidency?!!! an AWOL IN CHIEF ?!!!
