Military - July 2007

I was just married for a couple of months when my wife wanted to join the Army. We talked about it and she decided that she really wanted to do it. I was not going to stop her from what she wanted to do. Then around then around Feb. after she got to AIT the phone calls and letters started to stop. Then on our anniversary she told me that she wanted a divorce. I asked her why and she said it is what she needed and that she has changed so much. I told her you can't change the person in your heart. She was not cheating on me I know that for a fact so please don't say anything like that on here.
She is getting a divorce now. Put she keeps calling and texting me telling me how much she misses me and that she was sorry. I asked her today if she still wanted the divorce and she said yes. what is she doing to me? I am so confused. She gets deployed September 13 and will be over seas for 4 months cuse her unit is already there. What should I think?

Why do some missiles spiral in weird movements after they are launched initially. I have seen a few clips on tv and some don't seem to launch straight up at the beginning.

What does the Constitution say on this matter. Can Pres. Bush remain in office if he chooses to since we will be at war with Iraq when his term comes to an end?

We always get the number of dead; well over 3600 now and counting daily, but we never hear of the wounded. Don't they count as well?

Ok, so whenever we went and invaded iraq for "Weopans of Mass Destruction" Dumb bush didn't find sh*t. This was a waste and then it went from that to "mission Iraqi freedom", which i want te iraqis to be free, so then they could live in somewhat peace. and then it changed to another name. are these just bush's coverups for his mistakes?

Democracy isn't built overnight.

Especially in a region of the world like Iraq that has never known freedom, it takes time to build a stable government, and bring together all the hostile factions.

Germany had the Nazi "werewolf" movement. There were several years of assassinations, sabotage, etc. And we still have troops in Germany.
And Germany didn't have an insurgency externally generated, by a group like Al Qaida, or neighboring states like Iran and Syria.

We also have troops in Bosnia, Kosovo and elsewhere.

Criticizing elements of the Iraq occupation I can understand, pressuring for more effectiveness, reducing waste, and revising toward a workable plan for success, THAT I can understand.

But those who talk about abandoning Iraq, and just leaving its citizens to be slaughtered, and leaving Iraq to become a hub of terrorism, that I can't understand.

I look for "I support the troops" decal on vehicles and when I stop at stop lights (Within shouting distance) "OR" when I stop at a Restaurant I politely ask them to send their 19 and 21 year old children to the war and support the war and help make Mr Bush look good. The response? All the supporters look as if they are eating a tart lemon. Why don't they want to help Mr Bush?

If you have signed the opt-out form with the school for your child not to be contacted, how else are they obtaining our phone number, my Child's name, and specifics of what grade they are currently in (this I mention, as when caller ID came up US Goverment, they asked for what could be both Father/Son), I asked can you give me a middle inital, and he said the one whom well be a Senior this year. (This after I ask whom is calling, with the caller ID, and tried to pass themself off as a friend, it's Jonathan, didn't admit with whom, till I told them, um.....came up US Goverment on my end, Jonathan, then he states, the military). After I told him, I signed the Opt-Out Form (from beginning of Jr. Year), and ask to take my phone number off the list of my 16 yr old son. How else are they obtaining contact information, if not from the school?

Please don't think I'm not patriotic, support my country, I have a nephew deployed now in Ramadi, fighting day and night. I want the calls stopped.

Some conservatives, emotionally spurred on by stories of herosim on the battle field, have suggested that THIS generation is fast becoming the 'greatest generation'.
That could be the case but, to me, the last 'greatest generation' was defined not only by it's soldiers but by the sacrifices of it's citizens in time of war.
Without tooting the "we've-scarificed-our-freedoms" horn, can any of you give me examples of sacrifices that the population has voluntarily made in the war effort?

And with no British troops in Southern Iraq the Iraq-Iran border will be even less secure than it is right now. Which means terrorists & their supplies will flow into Iraq w/o much problem which will make it even more impossible for the US to win the war in Iraq.

So what is the point of having US trooops in a war that they can't ever win?

WORDS FAIL ME - SO... QUOTE "An RAF typist who injured her thumb at work is to be paid almost half a million pounds by the Ministry of Defence. The civilian's award is almost 30 times the amount a serviceman would receive for the same injury.....The woman, believed to be in her 20s, developed a repetitive strain injury while typing computer data. ....Critics claimed it was an insult to the 2,626 British servicemen who have been injured fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Defence analyst Major Charles Heyman said: "An award like this to a civilian who is never going to be in fear of her life drags down morale. "It shows where the MoD's priorities lie and those don't appear to be with the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The soldiers will be shocked and astounded as they all know people with severe injuries who got nothing like that

It has been recently annouced that the Bush administration is considering a 20 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia. Some argue that Saudi Arabia does nothing to assist with the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Futhermore, Saudi Arabia antagonizes our Isreali allies and several terrorists have been trained, harbored, and funded on Saudi soil. Does this deal have merits I'm unaware of or is Bush making huge mistake?

I've seen documentaries and had friends in the army, and have heard about the demeaning way people are treated when they enter. Is this done to strip of all emotion and break them down into mindless drones? I dont know, but that is the conclusion I'm starting to come to, especially after seeing high school friends leave for the armed forces, and returning as hyper masculine people that I cant stand to be around.

I am 28 and thinking about a career change (I have taught for 3 years)and joining the military (I almost did out of high school, but I got to play college football). Since I now have a degree, I would like to join as an officer. What types of jobs would my degree qualify me for? Also, does joining post college get any kind of assistance to pay back student loans?
