Military - October 2007

LCDR James E Plowman- USN 22 Mar 67 NVN, with his Homestate California, listed on the band. I looked up his name years ago, when Computers were still pretty new. He had a child he didn't get to know about, he would be 40? I wonder about him. Does he know I still care? Does he know I care about all the kids like him?
Doesn't it just beg the question though? Where are the POWS-MIAS from the "BushWars"? Does anybody know why there is no dailey chat about it? Or have we taken to leaving "Ours" behind? The Following website left me feeling like a fool. That Weapon of Mass Distraction (WMD)is at it again. Duh?
leavenonebehind.wordpress.com/category/miapow/ is a good (in)site to check out. Stop by and Visit young Mr. Plowman if you would. He matters and so did his Dad. In this war it might have been his Mom....
I Googed MIAS-POWS Iraq Wars, 98 hits after how many years? So I dropped the S's and tried MIA-POW 3,550. Just for yuks? POW-MIA? 23, 500. About the same amount we know are Dead~

I'm not trying to insult the Air Force; I respect all military branches.

The Navy, Marines and Army have their own Air Force. Many of the jobs in the Air Force can be done with the Navy.

What's the real point of an Air Force besides carrying the president around?

I've seen alot of documentaries were Americans were low on Ammo and supply; but I've never seen them using Enemy weapons. Wouldn't it be logical to use enemy weapons if you're low on Ammo?

Read an article that states that Nancy Pelosi is behind this one and after further research it was true that she is using this as a way to get Turkey mad as the US and in turn they will no longer allow us to use the airspace or the military bases if we pass this resolution.

Is it me or does it seem that she is playing politics with the military lives by making thier job that much harder?
Any other take on what is motivating this woman?
Is this wrong or just the way things are donw?

Being activated for 8 months on Mobilization orders in support of Iraqi Freedom Glabal war on terrorism (Naco-terrorism) to South America. I have deployed but only on active duty never in the IRR. Do I rate the Armed Forces Service Medal with the M device for being activated? Star on Nat defense medal? Star on over seas ? Anything else? Can I get a star on my Combat action ribbon if engaged? Or do I only rate one award per conflict? I volunteered to go cause I beleive in the fight on terrorism. The reasons why i ask about the awards is because I have to change them all over again if Im gonna be rating more. I mightest well buy them here and have them ready in case I have to put on my service uniforms. From my understanding there is not a large selection where I will be. Thanks.

well, Ive passed the asvab, passed everything else except protein in my urine, I went to the doctors today and tested negative for protein, yet positive for trace amounts of blood, the test results wont be back for a few days, but if Im fine, and it wasnt anything to worry about, (which the doctor thinks thats the case) will that little set back prevent me from enlisting, even if there isnt a persistant problem? Or can I get a waiver for this, and if its a kidney stone, are there waivers for that? thanx ppl

Recently I tried to get a government job, and could have gotten extra points towards that job, if I had the right paper work showing my honorable discharge from the Army Nat'l Guard. It has been many years, and I can not remember the appropiate name for the paperwork, or where I might be able to obtain this paperwork. The unit I was part of for 11 years is no longer stationed in that city. Please help with any information that you might have. Thanks!

Name two advantages the British had in the war and two that the Continental Army had. In your opinion, why were the Americans able to win the war?

Think About:
- the location of the war
- training of the soldiers
- financial support

agreements it has made with the coalition forces. Does this mean that the war will then be Nancy Pelosi's war? She appears to be taking control of it from the CiC! Doesn't this kind of put the responsibility of any deaths in her lap? Sounds like that is what SHOULD happen since she is making the decisions here!

Here it is, from Yahoos front page, in black and white. Putin wants their money and for no other reason, doesnt care if Iran has nukes:

"The Russian president underlined his disagreements with Washington last week, saying he saw no "objective data" to prove Western claims that Iran is trying to construct nuclear weapons.

Russia, which is building Iran's first nuclear power plant, has resisted the push by the U.S. and its allies for stronger U.N. sanctions against Tehran and strongly warned Washington against using force."


Its pretty obvious that Russia is using Iran as a MAJOR playing card against the US, and is as much as telling the world: We, Russia, are financing the end of the USA, by helping Iran build their nuclear weapons.

I get so freaking upset. Why is it a while back (US) flexes her muscles by practicing little war ship games off the iranian coast, yet russia flys there planes dangerously close to our zones to mock us yet we flake it off. What gets me so upset is that putin. Id like to kill that idiot. Anyways what is your thought on our actions as a country and if it is not your country what is your thought on this issue ?

By the way, the war ended a couple of years ago in victory--The leader taken down and the army demolished. The troops are now there to help a fledgling democracy with security against terrorists until they can take care of themselves.

Some of you spend too much time on message boards or listening to talk radio, and you buy all that rhetoric. Iraq will soon be a great place to live. The troops are no longer in danger. The Iraq war is winding down. The rest of the middle east sees what is happening in Iraq and will soon have total freedom like Iraq. The middle east loves the USA.
