Military - August 2007

When being sworn in to the military, you state you will protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States. No where does it state a political party. A person in the USNavy told me during the last election when they received their absentee ballots, they were instructed to vote for the current administration by their commanding ships officer amd when questioned, it was stated that yes, it was a direct order subject to discipline. Also, should a person's vote be their vote, and does this constitute tampering with a vote?

I have always wanted to join the US Air Force. I applied back in High School but due to my condition of being Semi-Epileptic I know there is a Scientific name for it but I don't remember I was 12 when I got it. It was due to a parasite that got lodged in my brain or something like that from eating under cooked pork or un-washed lettace. Anyways I was told the Air Force reserve would allow me to join I know it's not the Air Force but well I would settle for it. Please if anyone can tell me the requirements or what I need to join or where I can go here in Dallas, TX I'd greatly appreciate it!

You forget that you joined the war two and a half years too late, and only because the japanese bombed the sh*t out of pearl habour. Yes you did help us but not enough that warrants your ignorrant attitudes.

I have conflicting answers on this one. When you are in Marine boot camp, can you send the money to your current personal account?

I was told by a Corporal (not the recruiter) that when he went in he had to open an account w/Ft Sill and no one had access to the money. (We are having the recruiter check on this - he isn't use to dealing w/recruits that have families).

Anyone with a family receives BAH and for 2 months separation pay. I don't understand why they would block access to the money when a family needs it to survive. Kinda pointless to join up if your family can't pay the bills for 3 months while you are gone. What do single people with bills do for 3 months?

I'm joining as a CTN, and heard somewhere that with the ATF contract (which tacks on an extra two years) I come out of school as an E-4.
Haven't been able to find this information elsewhere, so if anyone could clarify that'd be great.

I meant, I know I can't declare wars, because I am an average everyday civilian, but I think IT IS TIME for something big to come to impact on ALL OF US ON EARTH to have a change, for the better or worse.

Why do people fall for the Bush opinion that if we don't fight terrorists in Iraq they'll be here. Also, why don't people see that there weren't any terrorists in Iraq at all until we invaded? My father fought in WWII and asks "What has happened to America?"

The only thing I can find is that it was a vote 12 for and 1(Cuba) against. With Yemen and Ecuador abstaining. A couple of highly dubious websites say China also voted against it, but I don't think that's verifiable
I'm trying to find out who were the 12 countries that voted for Resolution 687.
Also, how does the UN decide which countries get a vote?
and did Saddam ever officially accept the cease-fire?
And is there a US government site where I can read up on "Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338)"

(I know it's a longshot that anyone will be able to answer any of these, but just it's worth a shot)

My father says he was a Green Beret, but he was never
sent to Vietnam.

My fathers eyes are so bad he is completely night blind,
and nearly blind in the day light without his glasses
( which are as thick as bottle caps!)

Anyways, I'm wondering what is special or different
about a Green Beret than a regular soldier?

And How was my father able to get special training with
his eyes being so bad?

The local surplus place has some US Issue Military Skis. These appear to be something akin to an Alpine Touring/Randonee ski. It has a Fritzsche binding that appears it can be locked down for DH skiing. I've seen other (older?) skis that have a telemark binding but none like these before. They also come equipped with climbing skins. The guy at the surplus store thinks they are XC but I know a little more than he does about skis.

Any 10th Mountain Vets (or anyone else) have any idea if I'm right about the skis?

Also...what style boots might have been worn with them? They look like they would hold a plastic mountianeering or a AT boot, but I've never seen US Military Issue plastic mountaineering boots.

Doesn't it seem that the news only acknowledges how many Americans die in the Iraq War? They ignore the Iraqis, who are dying at a far greater rate as a result of this war. The number of American casualties is well-known to be about 3700 or so, which is more people than the amount of people killed by Osama bin Laden on 9/11 (the official number for 9/11 is 2974).

However, estimates of the number of dead Iraqis range well over 700,000. Why isn't this ever reported by the media?

For example, on Thursday the 27th of August this year, there were 2 Americans killed, but also at least 72 Iraqis (see http://www.antiwar.com/updates/?articleid=11494 ).

Could the media not be reporting the Iraqi casualty numbers because they don't want to expose just how awful the War in Iraq is so that the war can continue longer? Isn't the number of dead Iraqis just as newsworthy as the number of dead Americans? If that is the case, why isn't it being widely reported?
