Military - July 2007

Why -- because they are just human beings like you or me, the fact that they are called upon to deal with violent criminals and have to take lives and lose their lives to should make us care for them not be negative towards them or reject them, after all
apart from the fact that this man or women out there is in uniform --- they are just like you and I, in their private lives.......

I know Marines deserve alot of respect but why do most INFANTRY Marines think they're better than INFANTRY soldiers?

Yeah they're alot of screw ups in the army but there are ALOT of hardcore soldiers too who just didn't want to join the Marines. Also, after looking at Marine forums there seems to be as much screw ups in the Marines as there are in the army.

My grandfather served in the Army as an infantry man in the Phillipines. He is by far one of the best men I've ever known. Just because he was in the army infantry does that mean he's not as strong (physically and mentally) as a Marine?

Matter of fact, during his tour he was doing exactly what the Marines where doing. He did an amphibious landing underfire, and was on the front line doing recon missions most of his time there, much like the Marines.

I'm not bashing Marines. Everybody in the military, expecially combat arms MOS's deserve alot of respect. Hopefully I'll be able to follow their foots steps once I get older

Several private US military contractors have been accused of having been involved in committing war crimes such as the deaths of Iraqis during interrogation. There is no method of formally trying such people for war crimes--- from wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company)

This means these guys just walk away with what they have done? IS THIS OK FOR HUMANITY? NOONE HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

More than 5% of US military is private contractors, someone has to do smth about this!!

Estimates put the number killed at OVER 200,000 in genocide and probably MANY MORE yet the US just ignores the problem.
And Al Qaeda is starting to get a foothold in that area again so it should have been in the US interests to keep that region secure.
I don't get it at all.
Finally the UN does something but ITS TOO LATE.
What a bunch of stupid morons.
I bet a bunch of mercenaries could do better.

I'm sure many have heard of the thousands of war brides as an after effect of previous wars. Notably Japanese, Germans, Koreans, etc. however, were there any war brides thus far resulting from war with Iraq or Afghanistan?

It was reported that this bloody land battle in Iwo Jima Island had caused very high casualties to the US Marines as they attacked the island above ground and the Japanese Imperial soldiers were well entrenched inside the caves.

I have been told by one person who should know "Yes", and I have had another person who should know this say "No"!

Now I am confused....not a surprise when dealing with Medicare and Tricare of course.

AS i originally understand it, as a Military retiree, if I decline Medicare Part B, and then enroll for Tricare prime, I have to pay an enrollment and participation fee to be in Prime.

however, if I did pay for part B Medicare, then Tricare prime would be free to particpate in.

So, who is right here?

Thanks.

not to recruits that are legally in the States but on a temporary visa? and who speak Arabic?
http://ap.lancasteronline.com/4/military_recruits_waivers
A friend of mine has been living here for about 3 years and he wants to join as a soldier translator aide. He's on a tourist visa. He contacted three recruiters and asked them if he can join. They all said no. He even asked them if they could sign a waiver, but they said they can't....he has to be a permanent citizen. They let dangerous criminals in but won't let someone who has a clean background and who is willing to help the soldiers with his Arabic. Does this make any sense to you?

Hello from Liverpool, England.

I have heard that there is a religious movement that protests at the funeral of US servicement killed on active duty and they have some pretty disgusting views about the men and women who have died.

Is this true?

If it is, is this group a cult?
