Military - August 2007

Now the war supporters are telling me we are killing more of the insurgents in Iraq than they are killing of us. All they have to do is look at the war in Vietnam to see where the Iraq war is going.

So, Iran has Weapons of Mass Destruction, or so the Government's lapdogs in the media claim. Just like Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (or not). Ahmadeinejad is gonna be another Hitler, just like Saddam was gonna be another Hitler. They'll welcome us with open arms, just like in Iraq.

The leaders of Great Britain (Gordon "Poodle" Brown) and France (Nicholas "The Fascist" Sarkozy) have announced their support for this war of aggression (doesn't it count as an act of state-sponsored terrorism?). Bush intends to attack Iran soon to "prevent" a non-existant nuclear weapons program (source: http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/014918.html ).

We've heard these lies before. Why is the media telling them again and why do they think that the American people are gullible enough to believe them? Why is Bush once again promoting wars that will incite more terrorism and weaken our national defense?

We are definite worse off with Bush and without Saddam. Saddam was no terrorist. He was not bombing Iraq daily Saddam was not killing our soldiers daily. Are poor soldiers are such FOOLs to stand by Bush.Remember Bush's rants about it will be a short war for WMDs and Cheny's last throes comments? All turned out to be false. 4.5 years now with death everyday beyond what Saddam ever caused, and these long tours for our soldiers who did not volunteer to be treated so badly. Bush has failed this country, out soldiers, and Iraq.

She said he only received 400.dollars per month while in basic training and that he didn't get his full pay until he finished boot camp? I think he was pulling her leg and getting money from her?

I understand he is the son of Virginia's GOP leader so he must fully support our troops.

Isn't it discrimination not to hire old people? If they can pass the physical and writen test why can't they join?

Hi there, I am off to the RAF soon, having just passed pre-selection. Whilst there the CO told us that:

'From the first day you put on that blue uniform until the day you get put in the ground, every member of HM Armed Forces, regardless of Service, Rank, or Role, is your sibling. There is cheerful banter and ribbing but when the sun goes down we're all here to do a job, and we all stick together through thick and thin, no matter what colour your uniform, no matter whether you're a recruit or an Air Marshal,'

This is more or less what he said- is it true? Do we really help each other out, for all life, on base and off? If it is, I can't wait!

My military advisors (my dad, and two grandpas) were discussing the recent crash and this is their conclusion. I need confirmation before I take action. (lol lol) Their expertise stems from my dad's service as a Marine where he attained the rank of corporal. my grandpa who saw combat in Vietnam and attained the rank of Specialist( but due to a "problem" lol lol left as a Private First Class, and my other grandpa who was a war protestor during the Vietnam War. My "experts" said that the pilot should have known that the helicopter needed maintenance and refused to fly it. The men should have stayed on the ground and waited for another helicopter to become free to take them back. My "experts" said that the men could have set up a temporary defensive perimeter (fight position? I think my dad characterized it that way?). Also they said that the command staff should never have put troops on a mission if they did not have adequate air support or scale back the mission to reflect the spt.

why don't the soldiers put poison on their bullets in war (to fire at the taliban), so even if the bullets don't kill the victim, they would be dead later by the poison.
don't take me so serious, i'm just wondering :)

I've already submitted the application and just received a call from the Navy this morning. I'm qualified, but now I'm still living in Louisville, KY and going to move to Philadelphia, PA soon. Can I go to the recruiter in Louisville, KY to be tested before I move to Philadelphia? If I get into the Navy, can I leave my car at the recruiter while I'm on the ship? How long do I have to stay in the Navy to get paid to the college? After my college graduation, can I go back to the Navy to be an interpreter or a foreign-language educator?

I know this war is very unpopular right now and that many do not understand it due to its unusual nature. But I think that in the decades and centuries to come, this war will be remembered as the noblest of endeavors in which one nation sacrificed for the freedom of another.

Future generations of Iraqi's, if they remain free, will look back upon the U.S. and allies' sacrifices with respect and gratitude, just as today's Japanese honor their former military opponent General Douglas MacArthur.

Just my thoughts.

Yours?

It happened to my daughter in a sudden surprise kind of way with the only explanation being he had to make sure that both nipples hardend. Also,do you think the following was appropriate. She is small breasted and was a little nervous so when he asked her to lay back for the breast exam she jokingly said "I probably dont need to lay back for that" to which he commented " Oh no, they're nice" and asked her if her thighs were sweaty because she was nervous?

the only reason i don't support the war is because i don't believe those young men and women that make up our military belong over there...i don't like the reasons why we're there.

also, my father and my grandfather are veterans of the vietnam war...i'll be damned if people are going to think that i'm spitting on our troops.

We have all seen pictures of lots of Navy personnel sitting at radar or sonar screens wearing long white gloves and white balaclavas over their heads. Why do they do this? Are they in case of fire? Thanks for your help.
