What happened to the days where when someone messed w/ America or her allies, the US would hit back harder? In WW2, we went and leveled city after city not worrying about civillian casualties and there wasnt even an attack towards our civillians (you could say Pearl Harbor, but that wasnt directed at civillians).

Like Iraq, the mission going in was to take care of the Saddam threat; after the US accomplished that, the mission turned to helping the Iraqis? What is that about? Now the government realizes that Al Qeuda is in Iraq (dont argue about it, even if its not on a large scale; they are there) along w/ other enemies of the US.

So why not go through and bomb everything (everything outside the green zones) back to the Stone Age? Are civillians of some rag tag country worth the lives of US Troops? Im all for the US protecting the US or allies of the US, but why the Hell put American lives at risk to save people in a country weve invaded twice in the past 20 years?

Source: Feb 2003. Rumsfelt and Bush said the war in Iraq will only last 6 to 8 months at the most. Here it is almost July 2007 and no end in sight. Some pro war Republicans have said the war in Iraq could last another 20 to 30 years in order for the USA to win. Will we "still" be in Iraq 20 to 30 more years"?

Do you ever regret joining the army? And if you do, do the thoughts pass?

If there's anything else you could do, what would it be??

He was my father. Though we lived far apart we were close because we were brothers of the salt. Sounds ridculous, but true.
We both joined the Royal Navy at 15, he in 1935, me in 1980. When he came to my passing out parade at H.M.S. Ganges, he could see the ghosts of all his old comrades where I could see a recreation lounge. But I understood. Sailors will only ever be understood by sailors. Same with soldiers or airmen.
He had a shitload of medals, not for anything outstanding, just because he was there.
Of all the stories he ever told, I can only bring one to mind. He was a bit of a singer, my dad, used to sing with a band. Bing Crosby sort of stuff.
As the second world war was finishing , in the Far East, he and his band did a concert for the the prisoners of Changi prison, in Singapore. So traumatised were these men that, after the concert, they went back inside the prison to sleep, seeking safety in a hellhole that was familiar.
How do I ever live up to that.
I love you Dad

Recruit people because there's so much information out there about the military? Let's face it, young people are more informed now due the internet. They can simply Google the military. Recruiter can't just sucker them into joining the military. Before the rise of the internet, recruiters probably told unimformed young people all kinds of things to get them to join. Now young people can Google anything recruiters tell them so they can make an informed decision.

If the enemy wants to kill an American soldier,it is too easy for them to recognize and shoot. Our uniform and weapons and equipment we use, says "here I am". Our enemies can not make a mistake and shoot one of their own,by mistake.
But our soldiers who are instructed to shoot the terrorist, not regular Iraqi citizens, they have no way of telling who is who
until it is too late.
I think this is one of the main reasons we are not and can not win the war against terrorism, without killing all the Iraqis.
One solution is, we all dress like the Iraqis to confuse the El Kaida.
Another one is, we ask all regular Iraqis dress like American soldier. That will leave the terrorist in different clothes and easy to recognize.
I just don't understand why we make our soldiers so easy to target and kill. It just doesn't make sense, What do you think?

Don't get me wrong, I am very glad we have been relatively safe from the work of 'Jihad,' but after really thinking about the situation, I don't understand why we aren't hearing of attacks inside the United States everyday.

It is no secret that these terrorist groups despise the United States on a level only below Israel.

Getting inside our country would of course not be a problem, as one would have to try pretty hard to be caught. Most of these explosives can be made legally without buying illegal equipment.

The only guess I can come up with is they are plotting for one giant strike to kick things off. If even one was successful, which wouldn't be a hard feat, we would step up security instantly, as this would hit closer to home than the violence in Iraq most Americans are sheltered from. This really scares me, as this is the only rational explanation I can think of.

Take into consideration the stealthiness of each country ex. (the U.S being very patriotic and Bush never being able to keep his mouth shut good or bad, and China having done many new experiments and developements without any other countries knowing). Obviously i am in favour of China, and also i am angered by the Americans.

just to ask you if this makes sense: how can america be fighting for peace if they themselves (bush mostly) do not want to pull their troops out of the middle east when it is obvious that the war is in the end going to be very very costly to both the u.s and the middle east. how can the u.s call their war a "war against terror"?! have they not taken in consideration the fear and agony of the people in the middle east who were never meant to be in this war?another thing (this may be a little long) but how are the U.S aloud, or have the right to do this?: when china decieded to buy a aircraft carrier from russia, the americans stoped them, how can they do this

A man's cerebral cortex doesn't fully develop until the age of 25, and it is what's in charge of maturity and decision-making. So men aren't fully mature until the age of 25, and women at around 19. Not to mention all the people who joined for financial reasons. Is the argument valid?
