I am doing a debate on why women shouldn't be drafted on I can't think of any good arguing points. The basic one is that the mom has to stay home and take care of the kids,but that's all i"ve got!!

14 year old Hmong boys enlisted under the US flag in Laos during the Vietnam war so Cheney could stay home.

Now, lock up their leaders because he wanted to help his people in Laos because the US is doing nothing about the killing and turtors there. They are being turtor because they supported the US

As it is, I am still in the DEP for the army. As of now, I have told my recruiter and sent a letter to my recruiting commander at the MepS station that I wish to be released from the army DEP to go to a different branch. How long does the process of being released from the DEP take?

Awhile ago my son told me of a good friend who had enlisted. My son was upset with him, but understood that he wanted to get training for a good job. When he told me, his friend had just received orders to go to Iraq. That was a month ago. The boy was only there for three weeks and was killed. My son is taking it very hard.

What a senseless war! All because some extremists saw some 'I Love Lucy' reruns and decided that we were evil and needed to be wiped off of the face of the planet?

That boy will never marry, never know the joy of having children... What a horrible mess.

This is probably going to send a flak my way, but it's a genuine question. Look at the following charts on the inequality of physical fitness between men and women in the military:
http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/apa/rc/apft.htm
http://www.af.mil/news/USAF_Fitness_Charts.pdf
http://tkdtutor.com/11Training/NavyPRT/NavyPRTstandards.htm

I believe in equality for women, but according to that they're not equal they get paid the same as a male servicemember but testing on an easier level.

Again, I would like to apologize to the women who are going to call me a chauvinist pig, I swear this is an honest to God, genuine question I don't know the answer to.
(I HATE trying to be political correct)
Also, this is not a question of competency, there are women I've met in the military that make me look like a shitbag, merely a question on the minimum testing everyone in the military must go through.

I was recently talking to a friend of mine online (I don't know him in real life, but I met him playing a videogame online) and he was telling me about how he doesn't have any real-life friends and that it's hard for him to make friends because he's so self-conscious about how he looks and all that (he's like your standard case of the videogame geek with acne).

Anyway, he went on to tell me more about how he hasn't really done anything with his life after high school, and he's just going to a community college not knowing what he wants to do in life, still living at home with mom, and all sorts of other depressing things. He spends almost all of his time at home in his room playing this online video game and thinks his life is really dreary and that there's no purpose (though I don't know if he is suicidal or not: I hope not) and that he might just sign his life away to the Army to be a part of something and not feel so lonely all the time.

I'm no therapist: what should I tell him?

Last night I watched Rambo 3 for the first time since I was about 12. It seemed ironic that he goes to Afghanistan and helps the local guerillas fight the Russians when now these people are fighting the Americans. What would the Americans say now if the Russians were to make a film and call it Boris 3 where he goes to Afghanistan and helps the Afghans fight the evil Americans. They could put in a scene where he rescues a Russian commander (in Rambo 3 it was Colonal Tautman from Soviet captivity) from a place like Abu Grahab or Guantanamo. They could then single handedly fight and beat the entire US army and at the end as in Rambo 3 they could say, this film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan. What would the Americans say if a film like this were to be made since they made a film like this thenmselves in the 1980's?

The "Save Darfur" Coalition, formed by Clinton's Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, is agitating for American intervention in the Civil War in Sudan, which she falsely has labeled a "genocide."

For background, you can include where you stand on the Iraq War and on a potential War against Iran.
