Military - September 2007

This video above opens with the Iraq War veteran speaking and ends with a cop on a horse charging into the little group, separating the media from those arrested.

In the video, you will hear the cops proclaim that a table set up for microphones - in a public park that is a traditional place for free speech events in DC - is a THREAT TO HOMELAND SECURITY!!!!!!

Is this the freedom the soldier was fighting to bring to Iraq? Is this what freedom looks like?

IM NOT A REALLY SMART GUY.
I WAS A STRAIGHT C STUDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL AND FAILED MATH ALL MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS.
IM A VERY TRUSTWORTHY PERSON. AND WILL DO ANYTHING IM TOLD....LIKE ELIMINATING SOMEONE IN THE BATTLE FIELD OR DOING ANYTHING LIKE JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE AND SUCH.
IM FEARLESS. AND IM IN SUPERIOR PHYSICAL SHAPE.
I HAVE NO COLLEGE EDUCATION SO FAR...WOULD THE NAVY NEED A PERSON LIKE ME??? OR DO THEY NEED SMARTER PEOPLE????
I ESPECIALLY WANT TO BE IN THE S.E.A.L.s BECAUSE I EXCEED THE MINUMUM PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS BY ALOT.

The American leader, whats he's name? Arnold Schwarzenschnitzel, thats it.
Would Like to thank John Howard (thats the Prime minister of Australia), yeah its a country in the south Pacific south of New Guinea and Indonesia, for their troops in IRAQ.
He is also happy to be at OPEC apparently.
Did the American prime minister have too many sherbets yesterday? I think he was hungry for Apple Strudel, or did he forget to consult the Governator on Sacramento issues before he left? I think he has been sniffing petrol.

Based upon today's released video, Osama is urging Americans to convert to Islam. Although one's religious belief are personal and converting is a important decision, do any American plan on converting from their current religion to Islam?
-If not, what is your response to Osama concerning this request?

My son is in week three of Navy Boot camp. The first week he was there I rec'd an information letter. I was given an address to mail letters and that is the address I have been using. However, I rec'd a letter (my first) from my son today. He did not mention anything about receiving any of the many letters I or my family have mailed him. The return address he wrote on the envelope is different than the address I was given to send him mail. The division is the same, but the ship number is different. Does anyone out there know if the address I was given to use is a centralized mail processing address, or if maybe my son was moved to a different ship? Which address should I use? Thanks in advance for a quick response.

i thought it was since congress would take too long to pass something that needed to be done very quickly and in the case of Crimson Tide the decisions can even be made by Denzel Washington,

but seriously, if this is the case then isnt anyone worried that our president could just snap and find a way to justify nuking Iran or some other country that might not even deserve it? or is there a way for this to be overridden?

was invading Iraq and Afganestan part of a bigger plan to surrounder Iran and invade them? we can't even handle what we already have on our plate and choking too! we will only strengthen Hezbollah if we attack Iran specially if UN doesn't support it. Hezbollah is not that popular Iran and it is just a matter of time for them to be overthrown by Iranian people. they just don't see a good alternative yet.

How do you guys feel about the "new" GI Joe. I for one think it is an insult to America, taking our hero who is actually base don a real war hero and turning him into some sort of UN task force code name is anti-America. They are trying to make GI Joe the next Captain Planet. Few people realize GI Joe is base don a WWII hero and we don't need to make our hero the UN hero coming to save everyone. How do you guys feel?

SO I'm really considering going into the Marine Reserves. I actually enlist on Tuesday. I know how hard boot camp is going to be, and I'm preparing myself for the worst. I was told by my recruiter that the reserves will rarely ever go to Iraq or any other war zone, and that being a female, if I do get sent out, I won't even step foot onto the battlefield.

Things that my friends and family have told me:
- If you try to do two different things that two different drill instructors ask you, one of them will put you in a pit for not following THEIR order. And that the pit is filled with fleas and red fire ants.
- I WILL be sent to Iraq and possibly stay for up to 2 years
- I WILL have to go into combat, female or not
- The recruiters feed you a bunch of bullshit and will say anything just to get you to sign the dotted line

I really want to do this, but I want to remain INACTIVE all 4 years that I am enlisted and I do not want to go into combat of any sorts. What should I do?
