Military - June 2007

Iran will have enough refined uranium for a nuclear bomb in less than a year. The only way to stop Iran from nuking the U.S. is to use military action to destroy their nuclear facilities, and to destroy their whole regime so as to prevent them from using more secretive facilities in the future. Such an action has too much political opposition, so it will not happen. The iranians vote with bullets, not ballots, so they are not handicapped by a pacifist political contingent like the western countries are. Therefore, the United States WILL be nuked by Iran, and there is probably nothing that we can do to stop it.

However, we CAN place bets on which city or cities will get nuked first, to our personal monetary profit. It's like how the original nuke-testers at Los Alamos bet on how large the first nuclear blast would be. Iran will most likely transport nukes via ship, so they will most likely attack a coastal city or cities.

Which city or cities do you think that they will target with highest priority? Washington DC? Los Angeles? New York? Seattle? San Francisco? Somewhere else? Do you think that they will attempt to strike an inland target, such as Dallas? Do you think that they will try to make a coordinated strike that simultaneously obliterates several major coastal cities? Do you think that they will use cobalt-salted 'doomsday bombs' to make patches of the United States permanently uninhabitable? Do you think that they will use high-fallout nukes against areas with small towns, from which so many U.S. soldiers come?

Those are all interesting possibilities to bet on. What do YOU think they will nuke?

What was the critical failure of the Nazi strategy in WW2? At what point was the war lost? Deciding to split the fronts by attacking the Soviets? Failing to secure the Mediterranean? Failing to subdue Britain? What's your opinion?

I 'm a cadet airman basic, I just got into CAP. I'm in the Lousiana Wing and I have 14 boys and 2 other girls in my sqaudron. I haven't actually met them yet but I want to know if sexism is common in other CAP Cadet sqaudrons like it is at the Armed Forces academies. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can about the character of the CAP cadet program as possible before my first meeting next Monday night.

"We will in fact, be greeted as liberators... I think it will go relatively quickly... [in] weeks rather than months"
-Cheney, 2003
"It is unknowable how long that conflict will last..I doubt six months."
-Rumsfield, 2003
I don't pose these quotes not as a left-wing hitman but to point out how badly we have screwed up...I'd like to hear other people's perspective. Heres my view

Bush Admin.
-not enough troops to secure border
-war plan did not accurately reflect the predictions of experts, nor reflect history of intervention in middle east
-Poor oversight throughout (Abu Ghraib)
-Break up of Iraqi Army/Debathification

Provisional Authority (Post War Planning)
-Failure to emphasize basic needs for Iraqis: security, jobs, electricity, sanitation
-Over-emphasis on advanced ideas: i.e. national debit cards and flat taxes
-Using Saddam's palace as Central Command!

Military:
-Ignoring prisoner abuse
-Didn't remove poor commanders
-Submissive to poor civilian advice

Last Thursday, completely ignored by the world’s media, Hamas thugs opened fire on a peace demonstration, killing two people.

Imagine the sustained outrage that would pour out of the media if Israel had done something like this. But Hamas murders peaceful demonstrators, and it doesn’t even rate a footnote in the wire service reports.

Before noon, two civilians were killed during a protest held in Gaza City under the banner “Stop the Killing.” Some 1,000 Palestinians marched in the city, calling for an end to the fighting, but when they approached a Hamas position, militants fired at the protesters, killing two.

During my trip at MEPS, Our instructors had us do our branches battle cry on a few different occasions. Being USAF, he told me to 'go back to my Army roots' and say HOOAH.
I understand how and why that is, but i have been having this debate with my gf that the USAF is changing their battle cry to 'AAIRP' meaning air power, or something along those lines.
Any clue to the relevance of any of this?

I expect the list to be long...well...most of you people won't admit to it, huh?

I already served six years in the military, my wife served three. We have done our time. Neither one of us supports the Iraq war.

Why? It was based on lies, from a CIC on a personal vendetta.

By telling us that Saddam was acquiring yellow-cake from Nigeria, he got much of Congress to green-light his war in Iraq.

That turned out to be a blatant lie. Please don't question my patriotism because I have misgivings in the competency of our leadership. Love of country, and love of "president", are two separate things.

a lot of people got hostile with me when i said going to war was crazy and i should be glad that people fought for me to be free blah blah blah. but for all these "patriotic" people out here, would you fight for this country if you had the chance? do you love this country so much that you will go to iraq and risk your life? it seems like a lot of people misunderstood me. i'm not talking about previous wars but the war now in iraq. Do you think what we're doing is right?

Bet if you didn't realize you contracted to an endless war. Think the reserves were meant for such a war like Iraq? Seems simple, 100,000 reserves refuse assignement to Iraq, USA involvement would come to an end.

Can we come to the conclusion that they have been lying about the progress of the Iraq war. The troops got rid of Hussein-but Bush seemed to be ill prepared in the area of nation building (by the way is something he said he wouldn't do). I really believe they have been lying and hoping things will get better-kinda like kids lying and trying to clean up the house before Mom and Dad get home. Just think if he would have listened to a career soldier-Shinseki-instead of our neo-con chickenhawks-things may have been different.

Actually ..our troops are dying for the mistakes of the Bush Regime.

Saddam had NO WMD and had nothing to do with 9/11/01

This info is available to our suicidal troops...if they want to die for BUSH...oh well
