My boyfriend initially wanted to be a part of the Marines (really badly) when we first met. He is now planning on joining the ROTC Air Force program to get through college. He decided that he wanted to have a family and didn't know if being a Marine was a good idea. Any help? he wants to serve his country but what's the safest way and best way where he can stay with his future family?

Obviously, one man cannot stop people from throwing him out when he tries to abuse him. But if there is a culture who is trained to think it's moral to submit to whatever claims to be an authority, then you have masses of men with guns who will kill anyone who tries to stop the dictator. In the United States, these folks are called Neocons. What were they called under Hitler? He was only one man too. Who were all those mindless followers with guns who protected the Nazi state?

Young veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are having the welcome mat ripped from under them as they try to re-enter the job force, according to federal labor statistics, advocates and the GIs themselves.
“It all came real fast. One day I’m wearing green and the next day I’m signing out and I don’t have a job,” said Sgt. Dan Magoon, 25, of South Boston, who ended his active duty with the Army in May after completing three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.



Last year, the average jobless rate for veterans nationwide who have served their country since September 2001 was 8 percent, nearly double the 4.6 percent national average for all workers ages 16 and older, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. It seems most of the jobs go to illegal people in the country.

I was wondering how Osama communicates his orders. Does he give and recieve his information by Camel back riders? To me it sounds ridiculous that we are going to gain a real advantage in the war on terrorsim by capturing Osama. Where am I wrong. Thanks

There is this false argument out there that I here often by Know-it-all liberals that "We support the troops but not the government or war in Iraq" this is by far the most unrealistic argument that I have heard. The people in the military did not volunteer to fight the wars that only Noam Chomsky would approve of but any war the government see fit. This would include the Iraq war. So in reality the people in the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force pledged an oath to support the President that you hate so much, so tell me how could you so called "Support them but not the war." So next time why dont all you war protesters and bush haters who try to pass as patriotic americans, just say that you hate all people in uniform. We all know that is really what you really mean.

Yesterday, this common argument was put forward to me from the wife of a Serviceman. It's a valid question, particularly as few Americans have much knowledge of any of these countries. This argument is usually made against the US invasion of Iraq, as it was yesterday.

In my last article, "Terrorists and the Countries of Origin", (again I gain nothing from my blog), I examine the case for and against military action in those countries as well as the basis for the invasion of Iraq. I point out some of the reasons it was the wrong place but also the reasons it was important.

In the article preceding it,, "From the Mouths of Protestors", I expose those here that spew hatred for our troops as well as their mission.

Washington DC is located in the District of Columbia and is considered the location of the governmet which governs the United States of America. The Name "The United States of America" catagorizes it's membership into States. Washington DC proudly boasts it's separation from statehood, placing Washington DC and the District of Columbia, outside of the Union.

Are the following hints to a collage:

The residents of the district are portrayed by the government as being poor.. with a large homelss shelter resting within the monument and tourist areas..

Our Thanksgiving is a celebration of Pigram (English) and Indian unity...A notorious enemy allience which fought against the Union formation.

The UN has approved a peacekeeping force for Darfur. It looks like the crucial issue has been "respecting Sudanese sovereignty". This surely means that the blue helmets will once again have no power or authority to stop govenment sanctioned murders. I'm not quite old enough to remember peacekeepers in the Sinai from 1956-1967, but I can remember ones who came later. In some cases, perhaps, things did remain peaceful. But in others, Bosnia comes to mind, they looked the other way while massacres occured right under their noses. Their reason for inaction boiled down to "interfering with this is not in our orders." If that is the case, then what is the point of sending troops in at all? It seems that peacekeepers are paper tigers in a very real sense. Perhaps people didn't realize that in the first few decades, but do they really think they are fooling anyone anymore? What can they expect to accomplish with this?

Some groups in America are using this fear to make money selling books that are no more informative then a Jihadist handbook.

What do you think about people like this?

Do you think this is a potential threat to our National Security?

This guy is using fear and jihadist quotes to spread lies and hate.

But worse than that he is creating more radicals on both sides of the fence.

His websites and books are a dirrect threat to our Nations Security.

What do you think about his various books and his use of fear to make money, without any regard for the security of our Nation?

If you look at the war in Iraq in a sensible way you could understand the reason for being there. if we let iraq become another vietnam (pulling out ) then we are opening ourselves
to an invasion of our own shores by extremeist.. we are better off fighting there than here.
Have we as Americans come so far as to believe that we
can't be invaded here in the USA. And have we become cowards afraid to fight for what we have here in America and the freedom of our children.

I heard that the Navy would help pay for the tuition for my Masters (my husband is active duty.) Supposedly, the only requirement is that I take some type of an orientation class through the Navy. Of course, this is just what I *heard* from others...I can't seem to find any info online or in the college office on base.

Does anyone have any information on this (is it even true?) And if it is, what office do I obtain this info from and who do I need to speak to?
