Military - July 2007

What so you think was The Confederacy's best chance for winning the Civil War and when did they go wrong? Personally I Think it was Lee's refusal to go along with Longstreet's strategy during the Gettysburg Campaign,but I want to know what you think.

is it true that many scandinavians joined the nazi army such as the Wehrmacht and SS during the war. For it doesn't seem possible that 3 countries like Japan, Germany and Italy could take on the whole world like they did. Is it true?

The combat Vets know they wouldn't have lasted 4 days without me. When I did show up they (In war zone) thanked me. Now they say they have no respect for REMF. I just give them a shirt and ask Why do you not take this shirt? "BUT" when I handed you supplies and food/medical you took it from my hand. Combat Vets put down the Air Force Vets but when we used to roar in with our F4s the Combat vets would get on their knees and say "Thank God! Now they snear at us. all I can say is "Have a nice day guys". OH! You lost Vietnam and you will lose Iraq too. Get ready to be bitter again.

Is it really true? Sense the U.S. Military can't make up the slack in this war are they really hiring mercenaries to fill in the void?

(This “blame the American people” approach has, through repetition, almost become the accepted explanation for the outcome in Vietnam, attributing defeat to a loss of public support and not to fifteen years of military failure.)

The war is no longer defined by the benefits of winning — a stable Iraq, democracy on the march in the Middle East, the collapse of the evil Iranian and Syrian regimes — but by the consequences of defeat.

I am majoring in Finance & Accounting and I would like to enlist in the Marine Corps. when I graduate. I would love to work in Intelligence, however I have heard that even though I can sign up for it, I may not get it.

Someone told me that there is a way to guarantee in your contract that you work in the specific MOS you want. Is this true? I know you can preference several MOS's, however I have a feeling that if I sign up and request Intelligence as #1, I will just still be put into Financial Management.

Is there any way I can guarantee I work in Intel or at least something else?

Great Forumites as we appraoch the 62nd rememberance of the first use of of the nuclear bomb, can we say that it will never be dropped on any soil again. Keep in mind the recent threat of Iran. Keep in mind the recent tension between presidents Bush & Puttin over the Missile Defence Shield.

America came close to using it during the recent Iraqi war with the coalition forces. War analysts believe that President Bush made a "covert" expression of that possibility when he warned serious consequences should late President Saddam and his men use biological & chemical weapon on the allied forces.

Incidentally, though the Pearl Harbour disaster that triggered off the use of "little boy" and "fat man" seems less provocating than the incident of 9 11, America did not use the nuke. Possibly because Bin Laden and his men are "army without territory" unlike Japan.

So, can we say that the stockpiles of the nuclear arsenal in the silos of the world are just there for detterence?

Don't get me wrong here, I think terrorism is a scourge on the earth, and should be eradicated. However, the Americans are fighting an unseen enemy, stealthy, and difficult to find. Ahouldn't the americans adapt a similar strategy, like the australians? instead of going in gung-ho, and blowing everything up.
