since March 19 2003 3,647 total killed In Iraq as of August 1st 2007
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf

According to preliminary data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 17,602 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes - an average of one every half-hour. These deaths constituted approximately 41 percent of the 42,642 total traffic fatalities. Drunk (those at or above an illegal BAC of .08) drivers were involved in 13990 fatalities in 2006.


This is an increase from 2005, when 17,525 people were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes and 13,613 people were killed in crashes involving drunk drivers.

How come when I was a recruiter kids would always come up to me and say "I'm not gonna join the Army I dont wanna die"
Why dont they put that much thought into drinking and driving?

You dont want your kid to join the military cause he might die yet you let them drive?

whats worse?

My son left for USMC bootcamp on Monday out of Milwaukee,WI headed for San Diego. Tuesday morning he called and said they were stuck in Denver airport. We were told we would receive a phone call the evening of his arrival and have yet to receive it. Is there some way I can find out where he is and/or if he has arrived safely? Also, is it true they are instructed to call the 1st evening? Please help! I am worried about my boy!

I'm interested to think what soldiers who have served (or are currently serving) in Iraq think about the war. Also, what political party do you usually vote with?

For myself, I've always thought the war was a bad idea, but we might be in worse trouble if we just pull you guys out.

Good luck and keep safe.

Why does he presume attacking a country like Pakistan will be the same as attacking countrys like Afghanistan and Iraq??

You can see by just typing into you-tube, "pakistani millitary" how patriotic these Pakistani's are. The Pakistani army will not just stand back and take such an assault. They will prob attack the country back. This could possibly be catastrohic!
People seem to be forgetting that they too want rid of terrorism, it's in their own benefit to get rid. They are a key ally in the war on terror. The western median did not sjhow the protests by tens of thousand. if not hundreds of thousands against the Lal masjid going ons.

They want peace too. But another war on their soil probably won't be taken too lightly.

What do you think could happen if the US do indeed go to war with Pakistan. Should they even go???

JA, under the command and control of the prosecuting auth , acts as the glorified court clerk as well. He records what is been told to be recorded. CAT is yet to be okayed. in the meantime should we not accept high court judges to be the judge advocate?

About 26 years ago on Gulf of Sidra incident where U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcats shoot down a pair of Libyan Su-22 FitterB, U.S. Pres. Ronald Reagan expressed a yearning to fly an F-14. Did he have such opportunity knowing that he is a pilot during World War 2?

My fiancé is in the US Navy. He will be wearing his dress blues for our wedding. I wanted our colors to be pink and navy (because of his dress blues), but he told me that the dress blues are actually black. I know that a majority or guys are not good with colors. Are their dress blues actually blue, or are they really black???? Thanks

I'm thinking about joining the Navy. I still have another year of high school. I was wondering if the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) would be something to get into first. What are the benefits of it? I want to join because I want to get out of the normal life. I want to make a difference and do something that will benefit everyone. When do I need to talk to a recruiter to be ready for next summer? I want to thank all the Retired Vets and the Men and Women who have already gave their lives for this country. Thanks

I've taken the ASVAB (98AFQT) Taken the DLAB (Scored 109) and I had a few questions about the rate.

I've found two lists of languages I qualify for based on scores, one had the upper tier languages at 105 (Korean, Chinese and Arabic) Another had it at 110.

-So how does language choice work?
-How does liberty work in the crytpo field?
-What are the chances of getting a language I want?
-And finally, what's the training/school life like?

whether you agree with the war or not, if we fail to bring some sense of normalcy back to Iraq, things will be horrible there for many years...why do you want us to just leave and have another Saigon where people are begging soldier to take them with them crying, handing over babies....what is the deal?
