I was shocked and... well tbh I was impressed by the power of it. Together with the clarity of the night-time vision from such distance, and the command structure tone of the US soldiers involved, after they appraised the situation.

Normally I don't want to see anyone getting hurt... but cowardly roadside bomb planters I will make an exception for. These are the same type of people who blow up 50+ people in a marketplace.

Dunham, who grew up in Scio, N.Y., was the leader of a rifle squad with 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, in Iraq. Dunham's squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in Karabilah on April 14, 2004, when a nearby convoy returning to base was ambushed. When Dunham's squad approached to assist the convoy, an Iraqi insurgent jumped out of a vehicle and grabbed Dunham by the throat. As Dunham wrestled the insurgent to the ground, he noticed that the enemy fighter had a grenade in his hand. Dunham ordered his Marines to move back, and when the enemy dropped the live grenade, Dunham took off his Kevlar helmet, covered the grenade with it, and threw himself on top to smother the blast.

Dunham initially survived his wounds, but died eight days later at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., with his mother and father at his bedside.

"By his selflessness, Corporal Dunham saved the lives of two of his men and showed the world what it means to be a Marine," Bush said.

Reason I'm asking is I just joined the Army, wanting the aspirations of going infantry, but ended up in 25 Charlie which is Radio Operator and Repairer.

Reason I couldn't go infantry was because I was mildly color blind. Are the marines just as harsh when it comes to picking and choosing who's infantry?

I saw a doctor about 4 months ago, he gave me a hearing test, and concluded that I do have normal hearing in my right ear. I also found out that I have hearing loss in my left ear. I can hear low and midrange frequencies, but not high frequencies in just that ear. I hope this doesn't effect me going into the air force. I wanted to get a job in computer programming.
does the air force even test hearing?

What are the guide-lines for re-enlisting back into the service once you have gotten out? I got out back in March of 2001, I had six years of service, would I be able to re-enlist in the guard or reserves?

I'm looking for songs that get soldiers pumped. Like when they're all jogging together in squads.

Songs like, "I don't know what I've been told..."

Are there any others that are good, and that lots of people would know and what are their lyrics?

I am in a cadet corp, and i love it. It has made me want to join the military. I want to personally join Army. Honestly I dont mind being sent out to the middle east as long as i get the good training needed such as those of special forces so i can be better prepared or Ranger school training and whatnot. My family though doesn't want me in the army. They are always telling me to go navy. But i dont want to be on a boat. It sounds boring. I dont care if they go around the world. Idea of being on a boat makes me sick. I would want to be either an MP or go straight for airborne. But i am not sure. People are always telling me that i will die, but its getting so annoying to a point that i really dont care about being deployed anymore. But I am just worried that am I being selfish if i go active because it would affact my father and brother and stuff like that. and my other family members. I really want to be active soldier, if i told them this, they would just think Im insane though.

I have always wanted to join the Air Force since I was little, but when I was 14, I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. So now I can't enlist. The ROTC officer at the University of Delaware said it might be possible for me to join the ROTC for Air Force there, but she wasn't sure since it is a requirement to serve 4 years of active duty. Why can't I join the Air Force as a journalist or researcher. Or why can't I teach on base for children of enlisted people? I plan to major in History Education with a double minor in French and Anthropology?Archeology. Why can't diabetics join the military to do jobs that do not involve combat or flying. I am just as good as anybody else.
