The Nemitz and the Stennis are claimed to be in the area now and the "BIG E" aka Enterprise is on the way.

Will they keep all three there or not? Who will leave? Reports vary with some saying the Stennis is leaving and some saying the Nimitz is leaving.

I ask it because in Argentina the Argentine Army and Police , trained by USA at The School of The Americas used to sell the babies of the"terrorists" captured , the said that US instructors at SOA said that the babies should not be given back to the family of the "terrorist", otherwise they will become "terrorists" in the future.
One ecample of this policy is this couple of Jews, she was pregnant, once she had her baby,she was killed ( "missing")
the baby was sold,until now he is not found.But scores of other babies are found thanks to DNA analysis, 30 years from that US puppet dictatorship the wounds are still open.
The couple of Jews, just one of thousands...

I am asking this for My brother. He has been awol since 1990 I believe. Anyways He has since found Religion, and believes that he needs to atone for his mistake he made at 21 years old. He has talked to his pastor about this and they are researching this matter. I am prior service myself, but I do not know for sure. I do think if you accept the punishment, and serve it with honor you could be allowed to finish your contract out. Any thoughts?

In the beginning we were looking for Bin Laden and then the people who put us through hell on 9/11. Now that is never talked about and we arent even looking for Bin Laden. What is the point of being there and killing tons of people and soldiers? I know, money, oil, Bush finishing the war his dad started...but comeon...we need to get back to why we went there and come home.
When will it end.

In 1942, President Roosevelt established America's first centralized intelligence agency, exclusively run by civilians instead of the Military.

Ironically, the President chose retired Army General to be its architect. General "Wild Bill" Donovan, with the help of future James Bond author, Admiral Ian Fleming, began recruiting young men and women to be foreign intelligence officers for "The OSS" during World War II.

A bit of a snob, Donovan limited his search to the Ivy League campuses of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Which is how the CIA's tradition of being a Skull & Bones/WASP agency first began.

(Note in Spielberg's film MUNICH all CIA agents have blond-haired and blue-eyes. Although by the 1980s, this stereotype began to change as the racial demographics of nation changed).

Anyway my question is...

Since these Agents skipped the military, going from campus to OSS training, where they just assigned military ranks? Or like their FBI rivals, were they just referred to as "Agents

Why is it that, when we join, we are stereotyped as degenerates almost, too poor or stupid to go to college. Unfit or under eduacated for any job in the civilain world. We send our poor men off to fight the rich politicians war. These sterotypes enfuriate me. Is it too hard to understand that some men actually want to serve their country under their own free will. I personally work with many men whom I'd consider boarderline genious, who could easily be working as an egineer for boeing or sikorsky. We have officers from some of the best academies in the world. While my friends live off their parents, and complain about how hard their finals are going to be, I myself deal with real world problems. Flying a multi-million dollar helicopter, making decisions that could cost the lives of me and my crew. Whom would you consider to be "smarter"? We do a job that most civilians wouldn't be able to handle. I know we have support, but why doesn't a kid who is thinking of joining?

Please give me a list of reasons as to why it was a good idea to invade Iraq -I understand that it would be stupid to pull out when the job is still not done. But I am asking this because I tend to not watch the news; as I know it can be biased, I used to. I was very aware and in the know when it 1st started-current events-but with the fact that they (media) twist things around and what not, I'd rather find out from credible sources, like yourselves (who have been there and know etc). I am just doing this so when people ask me what I think about it (Doing AF ROTC) , I don't give them reasons why I think; but instead reasons of why I know-but not bad ones. People will argue it's for oil, I believe it is so we will not be defeated by our enemies-but in depth, it'd be great to know. No Bush bashing, I already made it clear -just for those who know or have been there, not those who think they know, but haven't even served! Thanks.

Many on here and in the media have suggested we should just back out and let those in the region: Syria, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia take care of the problem in Iraq. What are your thoughts and justifications.

:
Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

I am being dead serious, I am not here to cause trouble, or even debate. My brother was in the Army for 16 years. He says "this needs to be done" when asked about Iraq. But a lot of the public is pulling to get our troops home. So, I know what the general public says, and what my brother says. I just hate seeing our troops injured and killed. What do people now or previously in the military have to say about this? Should we bring our troops home from Iraq? And also, should we still keep trying to find Bin Laden?
As a civilian, I want our troops home, and I wish like crazy Bin Laden could be found and brought to justice. Should we do an invasion similar to Iraq if we know where Bin Laden is? Does anyone think that will happen?
In advance, I appreciate any answers you can give me that are your honest opinions. I am NOT here to debate if Bush should bring the troops home, I am interested in the feelings of military personnel, past and present, on this subject.
Thanks everyone.
