Military - October 2007

Iraq was a soverign nation and I feel you just cant go in remove a head of state just because you thought he tried to kill you father. This war by the time it end will cost you 24 trillion dollars yes you. Not Bush and his friends. You, your children, your children childrens and so on. So keep waving that red white and blue. The whole world is laughing at you. Thats why the dollar will be less than the mexican peso soon.

Congressional leaders love to mesmerize, hypnotize, repeating again and again that Iraq is a fiasco staged by Bush, waged by Bush, controlled by Bush, unaltered by Bush, conducted by Bush.


Unanimous advice of the Joints Chiefs? Never mentioned. Unanimous judgment of the world's intelligence communities? Never heard. Unanimous resolutions by the UN Security Council? Never happened. Unanimous conclusion by the 9/11 Commission that a failed Iraq will be the top breeding ground for attacks against Americans? Never mind.


Iraq isn't a quagmire -- it's a crucible. Masks are burned off, character stands bare, make-up is wiped off, what you're made of shows through.


Rob troops of honor, parents of belief, Iraqis of hope: and what's left? A world peopled by the two-faced. Abandon hope all who enter here.

Snipers aim for a soldier's heart; congressional leaders aim for the heart of why he serves: Honor, Country, Duty to both. But to congressional leaders, there's no honor in Iraq. There can't be: it's immoral. Illegal. And it's not even their country's war: it's Bush's.


Telling parents their child died for George Bush is telling Christa McAuliffe's folks she died for Ronald Reagan.


JFK committed the US to space, but it wasn't his race -- it was America's. Astronauts knew the risks, the myriad of things that could go wrong, yet signed on, boosted by their countrymen as much as by rockets. There's no such lift for soldiers today; they're stranded, ignored unless exploited, gains unseen, achievements unheard. The Tomb of the Unknowns isn't only in Arlington.


It's one thing for leaders to oppose a mission, another to undermine it; one thing to make course corrections, another to sabotage the ship, one thing to overhaul an engine, another to wreck it in flight.

I voted for Bush to be president and I agree with the two wars we have now..first in Afghanastan and Iraq..I am a former military wife and my husband has been twice..but it seems that he and/or his council is wanting war with everyone...Now they are going after Iraq. Why does he want to make war with them when HE is about to be out of office...He wants to make a mess and the other president to clean it up? This is getting way out of hand..what do you think?

I read in (Mind control in the UK) that they were using them in
Surrey.......A more serious thought is that our government has been fooled by invisible Aliens that they are taking over this planet and they will only want a few selected human beings to help them form a nazi type of planetary system. These so called Aliens are Demons that have always been here,and live in and out of us all.The takeover is really Gods holocaust....

i.e.; G.I.Bill unable to use for the California Army National Guard and Reserve, etc. That is 90% of the reason people join the Guard and Reserve, college, and you're going to tell me they can't even make use of that benefit? I believe all other states allow the use of this benefit with no issues/problems. Why even join the Guard or Reserve in that state if you don't get anything out of it? All I got out of it was a trip to Iraq.

SAS trooper dies in Afghanistan

"He died on active service in a just cause and in a cause to which the Australian government and many other countries around the world remain very firmly committed," Mr John Howard said.

I would love to hear from a black person. It would give me the answer that I have often wondered over the years. Do not write me telling me about one or two that you know. Is it racism? Do only White Brits feel the need to protect their country? There has to be a reason; when I was in the military, I saw no blacks in the English Military. This really puzzled me, but I never asked until now.

1. Closer to 50 trillion dollars or more with China and Russia entering the picture (and an all out nuclear war), if it gets that far!

2. Hundreds of thousands of US troop lives lost fighting to defend and protect Dick Cheney and company from going to jail!

Truth? Yes, it is!!!

Should he be able to use the defense that he is following orders?

I say no. It is contradictory to the Nuremburg and Tokyo War Crimes Tribuneral. So why is it that U.S. soldiers used it successfully for the My Lai Massacre? This isn't a anti-American question, it just happens that this incident is what popped in my mind.

How can justice be served to protect those innocent from further future attrocities? How can the military improve so that this can't happen again?

I know that you can't leave the OSUT training when you're going to be enlisted after you graduate, but what about the normal training? My boyfriend is doing MOS training at the moment, and I just recently found out that I'm pregnant. I can't even talk to him about it, and the situation has gotten to the point that he really wants to come home. He's not joining the army right now, he's just training now in case of enlistment later. So, can he come home? Or would that still be considered a felony?

When I read about Prava's disclosure, I went through various web sites. Same story everywhere but no authenticity. To believe something, some government has to speak but all governments are either silent or take no firm position whether it is issue of aliens in space or U.F.O.'s. I'm not able to understand this attitude as such posing this question. My question is to both the governments of U.S.A & U.S.S.R. Will their authorized spoke person respond to this question. My question is to general public too for some logical explanation to the silence of these two governments.
