Here's my dilemma: I feel that I have some type of anxiety brought on by claustrophobia (I have never been officially diagnosed with anxiety, but I know I am claustrophobic). I also feel like I have a general anxiety about many things in life and I would love to sort this all out and get to the root of my problem with a psychologist but I am afraid to do so because I hope to work in intelligence/counterterrorism in the next few years after finishing my master's degree and am worried that a record of seeking help for mental health will adversely affect my chance of being granted a security clearance. If I do go to a doctor and it is determined that I do not have an anxiety disorder, does even just the fact that I sought help make me automatically ineligible for clearance or are things looked at on a case by case basis?

While our troops are busy and spread so thin if another country, lets say China wants to attack us.
Aren't we sitting ducks?

Is there a way to measure if one act of terrorism is more extreme than the other or is terrorism the same on all levels regardless of severity???? For example is there a such thing as Minor terrorism (taking hostages) and Large scale terrorism (bombing the world trade center)??

The problem is that I'm on a temporary visa (f-1 student visa) All the translation jobs I have seen requires at least having a green card. Can anyone help me find a job online or anything that doesn't require having US citizenship or green card?

Q1: Can't you edit your question once you place it in this forum?
I had to rewrite the question and resubmit it because I couldn't edit the previous one.

Q2: If accepted and at the completion of OCS, what type of job would I be offered at the USCG?



-I am prior enlisted navy (5 1/2 yrs, E4/HM3) with honorable discharge.
-Not in Ready Reserves, Regular Reserves or IRR
-About to complete a Masters in Education.
-I am 30yrs old with 3 dependents (wife, 2 kids).
-If accepted, I understand that I would have to go through Officers Candidate School (OCS).

It could quite easily be called a million front war.

First front: fighting every insurgent, guerilla, nationalist who has raised arms against us.

Second Front: Iraq, where the country is collapsing into civil war and Bush says its crucial in fighting the war on terror.

Third Front: Afghanastan where the Taliban is inching closer to Kabul in ever increasing attacks.

Long ago I came to the conclusion, when there is a call to fight, follow the money.

A congressional report in 2005 said that the USA supplies 35% of the worlds arms. Some organizations put that figure at better then half.

How are we to "Win" the war on terror when we can't even win it on the second and third front.

This is not a republican vs democratic issue. Both are using the same "Win" at any cost rhetoric.

Follow the money

I say if we would have let the generals do their job this would be going a lot better. Politicians suck at running wars because they are always worried about trying to get re-elected, party loyalties, etc.

Why does almost everyone think that when a married woman joins the Air force (or any military branch) that there is a certain definite there will be a divorce. I am joining the Air Force in January and I am happily married, but I keep hearing people say it wont last. Why do people say that? I don't get it.....

Specifically, I am looking for answers that touch on the scenario where you have one country under the thumb of a powerful and ruthless dictator who really represents 35% of the people from a sectarian point of view with the rest of the country being really other ethnic or religious groups who are not conducive to working well together and are perhaps chomping at the bit to get at each other and settle centuries old grudges that the dictator had kept in check.

Take into consideration as well that neigboring countries who had been long time enemies of the invaded country would look to move in and take advantage of the power vaccum created unpon the deposition of the evil dictator to exert their influence on that countries affairs.
Finally, consider also that the invading country has enemis that might want to flock to the occupied country to make mischief and make try to disrupt the invaders' plans.

So .....in the future, if you were a military commander in chief, and y

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - A court-martial for the alleged Marine ringleader in the kidnapping and execution of an Iraqi civilian began Tuesday with attorneys in the case screening potential jurors.

Marine Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III, 23, the leader of the eight-man squad involved in the death, is charged with murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, assault and other crimes. Hutchins, of Plymouth, Mass., faces a mandatory life sentence if convicted of murder.

Prosecutors say Hutchins' squad hatched a plot to kidnap and kill a suspected insurgent. But when they were unable to find him, the troops instead kidnapped a neighbor, 52-year-old Hashim Ibrahim Awad, marched him 1,000 yards from his house and shot him to death. Sgt Hutchins stated he did it for the USA and to help win the war.

Serious researchers have proposed that the tragic and devastating events of 9/11 were orchestrated by administrators in our governments. Numerous families of the twin tower victims have rallied together in a serious attempt to question the disturbing anomalies in the official 9/11 Commission Report. Their documentary DVD “Press for Truth” will probably never be aired on any mainstream TV channel.

Eminent scientists such as Prof Steven Jones and David Ray Griffin (9/11 Scholars for Truth and Justice) have put forward plausible versions of events that demonstrate the contradictions in the official line.

If the reasons for our invasions in the Middle East are found to be based on lies and are primarily to ensure we are in possession of depleting oil reserves (and thus bolster profits of banks and corporate interests) – how will our brave troops react?

a few details from my end,...I am prior service(airforce civil engineer),....I also know this rate is a merger of many other "journalism" related fields, as of July 2006, that being the case I understand it is a hard rate to get.
I also know that the training/ A school for this rate is located at Ft Meade Maryland
I have been trying to find out specifics of this career field, I find it,..at first glance, to be extremeley interesting, and may consider joining back up. If it were possible to obtain this rate.
Anyone with experience I would greatly appreciate a rundown of what this career field/rate is all about IE: what are deployments like? what places are personnel from this rate stationed?
Generally speaking, any and all info you could give would be a huge help to my decision making process.

I'm not against criticizing military practices or failures, but criticizing the premise of the military as a whole is idiotic.

Neo-hippies love to criticize the military and fantasize getting rid of it, but they should pragmatically think of what would happen to our country without a strong military in our history. During the War of 1812 we would have been taken over by the British, and lived in a monarchy.

In 1946 we would have been taken over by the Fascists and become slaves to their economies.

From 1950-2000, Russia would have taken us over and we would have become the slaves to their Communist economy.

Today, if we all of a sudden lost our military we wouldn't have our sovereignty. We would be fodder to the interests of military and economic powers like Russia, China, and others.

The military protects our sovereignty, which protects our freedoms and liberty. Ironically, these neo-hippies greatly cherish freedom of expression. They can't see the bigger picture.

If the US would take military actions against Iran, what other countries would get involved? On both sides?

Obviously, Israel and probably Britain would be right there w/ the US. But what about the rest of the Middle East? Or countries anywhere else in the World?
