38yrs ago we go into northern ireland for 12 days and we were their for 38 yrs.Many innocent people lost their lives.We go to the Falklands and job done very quickly over a couple of dozen sheep.We now find ourselves in Iraq its frightening but for how long.Maybe then we will try our luck in Iran.All this going on and we neglect what was a british country Zimbabwe and that beast of a dictator Mugarbe.Sounds all screwed up to me.what do you think.

My husband just ETS'd from active army. He was a cavalry scout and recieved lots of ribbons and it seemed like he really enjoyed what he did. Suddenly he just decided to get out when his ETS date came up. He thought he would be the pick of the litter when he applied for law enforcement jobs but that wasn't the case. It's been 2 months now and no job. My income is our only source and I am getting a little frustrated. We have a child and we need health care. I thought we would be back home by now and having our own place but that hasn't happened either. I am also a student and part of me wants him to get back in the army but because of the war, part of me wants him to find a civilian job fast. Sometimes I feel like going off on my own and let him figure it out because it is too much for me sometimes.
Any advice?

A college student was arrested Sunday in the slashing of 42 tires on 13 government vehicles in an Army recruiting office parking lot, saying he was angry about the war in Iraq, authorities said.

Following a number of calls about a man wearing black and slashing tires, two deputies stopped a 19-year-old college student from Colorado as he tried to run from the lot shortly after midnight Sunday, a Kitsap County sheriff's office report said.

The man put up his hands, dropped a knife and, after being made to lie on the ground and being read his rights, asked, "Is this the time where I can confess?" deputies wrote. On a portable breath test, his blood alcohol level registered .168, more than twice the legal threshold for intoxication, according to the report. He told deputies he decided to slash the tires of Army recruiting vehicles because he "hated the military and the government and the war we were in.

The Army on Tuesday censured a retired three-star general for a "perfect storm of mistakes, misjudgments and a failure of leadership" after the 2004 friendly-fire death in Afghanistan of Army Ranger Pat Tillman.



Army Secretary Pete Geren asked an Army review panel to decide whether Lt. Gen. Philip Kensinger should also have his rank reduced. The war supporters cheered in 2004 about Pat Tillman's brave fight but now the war supporters are mum on the subject. Why?

I am NOT a sexist or a bigot. However, as someone who went through gender integrated basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC, I can tell you this about it.

IT DOES NOT WORK.

The idea behind it was that men and women will work together, so why not train them together? However, IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.

You can't put men and women together in a place where they are temporarily deprived of all priveleges and then tell them they can't fraternize and expect everyone to comply. It's not going to happen. Yes, maybe it's a matter of self control, but it's different when you know what someone is going to do.

Another thing is physical limitations. When the males and females got "smoked" together, they had to end it early because of the females, so it wasn't really instilling discpline into the males.

The Marines are the only branch doing it right when it comes to basic/boot camp and gender. Not only is it segragated, but only male DI's train male recruits, while female DI's train females.

I say it is a lie for propaganda! How is it that suddenly because we leave Iraq the terrorists will come here? If they can just come here then, why are they not here now? The facts are that the terrorists want to come here now to America and are trying to get here. We have defenses that keep them out now, and that will not change if we leave Iraq.

...manage to CON enough young people into thinking there's any honor in becoming cannon fodder in his illegal and mindless "war" in Iraq? How can anyone be crazy enough to ENLIST any more, since that would be their most likely assignment?

(I posted a question similar to this a few days ago, and got some decent responses. Of the 20, of course, there were some who were hawks, but they didn't seem to have much in the way of a grasp of the obvious FACTS regarding that losing debacle. UNfortunately, some loony tune deleted the question. That's the bad news. The good news is that I'd already printed it out, along with all its answers, BEFORE that happened to it! This last paragraph is just for the benefit of any who think I asked this before. Yes -- it was a *similar* question. And when it vaporized for absolutely *****NO***** good reason whatsoever (!!!!), it was still an OPEN question!)

Yesterday, Iraq's parliament began a month-long vacation.
U.S. troops are dying.
President Bush's nominee to be top military adviser said today the United States will be in Iraq for "years not months".
And a Pentagon official said the war was costing even more than expected.

Regardless of your stand on the Iraq invasion and the recent so-called “troop surge”, at THIS point in time, do you feel as if we’re wasting our people and resources over there?

"More than 3,600 people, including around 2,000 civilians and 1,000 members of the security forces, were killed over the following three decades. Paramilitary groups were responsible for over 3,000 deaths while security forces killed around 300."

Any who know anything of Northern Ireland know how ridiculous these figures actually are .

An Irish Catholic seen running to catch a bus would be shot on sight by a British soldier , it would then be announced by a British Police Force through British press that an IRA terrorist executed what was thought to be an IRA informer .

When i was a senior in high school, i tried to get into the navy on early enlistment, so that i go to basic after high school. I wanted to be a Navy SEAL. But when i got to meps i found out that the hearing problem that i had in one ear is to bad to get into the SEALs, they said i could POSSIBLY get into the Navy but no chance of SEALs. So i let it go. I have recently developed an INTENSE interest in trying to get into Marine RECON. So my question is... Do you think there is a chance i could get into Marine RECON if i really show interest and motivation. I know they are having trouble getting recruits right now so i thought taht maybe that might be a helping factor. I know that i have a hearing problem in one ear, but i hear fine. And my vision is also like 20/400 but that is corectible right? thanx everyone. This is something i want to do more then anything!

The UN has its own peacekeeping forces. My question is, do they recruit and train from all countries, or do countries send detachments from their own armies to serve the UN? And if so, are there American forces in blue helmets?

I am writing a paper on diversity in public service (paramedicine, policing, fire) and military service. I am including a survey of whether you feel gays and lesbians should openly serve in our public safety sector and our military? And if you are a military professional or public safety professional, do you feel that it would undermine the oath you take to serve next to a gay or lesbian service member?

Second Question:
Do you feel affirmative action is necessary in public safety careers? It has been proven to make a more racially and ethnically diverse sector, how do you feel.

Thank you in advance for your input as this helps my paper along tremendously!
