Military - August 2007

Im in high school and Im 17. Im enlisting in the Marines, looking to go in as part of a tank crew. What should I know before going to a recruiter? I know not to trust the recruiter unless its in writing and that you can get a lot of things guaranteed in an Army enlistment contract, but what all can you get in the Marines?

most people form there opinion from watching the news. all mainstream media can focus on are car bombs and casualty reports because they are to afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and SUCCESS we are having over there.
people say "support the troops"and then they want to" cut and run" before victory is achieved.
everyone is entitled to they own opinion, i just wish it was an informed on. dont you?

I have just finished watching video footage of foreign nationals living in America who have been abducted and flown to various countries including Afganistan, Yemmen, Syria, Jordan, and Morroco to face months of torture, humiliation, desperation and inhumane incarceration in order to elicit information they honestly don't have. I don't understand how the CIA or the American Government can justify this (actually they don't - Bush claims they are not tortured and when asked to comment the CIA claim National security, meaning that they have no comment). Im top of the list for fighting terrorism - but how does this make us any better than them? I'm really scared by the way the world is spinning.

I'm usually there with a representative of Military Families Speak Out but he's not always able to show up and I'm not a member of the group. I'm looking for a blue-chip group that isn't filled with granola-eating, sandal-wearing naive idealists and pacifists who believe that Hitler would have turned out all right if his family had just given him a pony or that if we all sit around with terrorists and sing Kumbya around the campfire, everything will be fine. Sheep, in other words, who think that wolves are influenced by moral suasion - and the first ones to get a bullet in the head if Osama bin Laden gets his Caliphate.

World War 1 - America turns up in relatively small numbers in 1917 and then claim to win the thing.
World War 2 - The Germans fail in their mission to invade Britain in the summer of 1940 largely due to the RAF and their relatively weak naval forces. The British defeat Germany in North Africa and deprive Hitler of vital oil supplies. Germany turns it's attention to Russian oil supplies and launches into a drive toward Moscow. The German army suffers massive losses and is forced back on this front also. Hitlers grand adventure starts failing fast. The Americans finally decide to join in much later and then claim credit for winning another war after most of the hard work is done by Russia and Britain. More people fought and died on the Eastern Front than in all other theatres of World War II combined.

Just a quick history lesson.

I noticed on here that so many individuals hate ex military veterans(OEF, OIF, Gulf War, Vietnam) Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinions, I just wanted to know where all of this is coming from? I see inviduals calling us lazy bums and crazy and everything else. Kinda hurtful but I'm just wondering why the hate?
