My dad and two grandpas who have military experience (one grandpa actually was a draft dodger during the Vietnam War but my other grandpa served honorably in combat in Vietnam and was drafted and my dad served served honorably in the Marine Corp (never in combat). All three say that my husband should retain the final say in what orders he obeys and those he does not choose to obey. My "military advisors lol lol" say that precedents such as the trial of Nazi War Criminals after WW2 and during Vietnam, a massacre of a Vietnamese village by US soldiers set the precedent that an individual service man retains the authority to obey orders given to him. Should the military given immunity from prosecution to all service members as it did to Blackwater employees so that they would have to obey all orders given to them by their higher ups? My husband will be an Infantry soldier after he finishes his training.

It's a military move. From the east coast to the west coast. They will probably come and get our stuff anywhere from the 15th to the 20th. How long do you think it would take?

Hasbro has just changed his name to Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity and says he now is a U.S Marine who answers to the U.N. They say they need to distance him from the U.S Military. I for one find this sickening and will not give my money to such an un-American American company as Hasbro.

E1 starting out at $40,000 a year and so on.
The Government take our men and women in uniform for granted. Congress give themselve raises of 10 or percent but only give the military 3 or 4 if that. I support pay increases for the troops.

California veterans are up in arms over a ban on the flag-folding ceremony at 125 national ceremonies following a complaint.
The Memorial Honor Guard folds the American flag 13 times. Those folds were originally meant to represent the 13 colonies, but now hold secondary meanings such as life, eternal life, departed veterans, etc., the Chico Enterprise Record reports.

But a complaint about the 11th fold — representing the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and veterans say, meant to honor Jewish troops — prompted the National Cemetery Administration to halt the ceremony in the state's 125 national cemeteries, the paper reported.
"Every time we turn around, something else is going down," John Schultz, a Chico, Calif.-veteran, told the paper. "Next they'll be asking us to take all the crosses and flags out of the cemeteries, too."

Im an FRG leader and my husband's unit will be home in about a week after doing a 15 month deployment to Iraq. We (the wives) are decorating the barracks, we have been doing fund raising all year long, we have purchased new shower curtains, towels and bed sheets for our single soldiers we are going into the rooms in a few days and start making beds and hanging the shower curtains. We also bought chips and soda for each room and shampoo, and soap...as a single soldier is there anything else you would like to see if it were you coming home to your barracks room (please dont say a girl or beer etc. because we arent buying those things LOL) we are also hanging welcome home signs up all through the barracks...we want to make our single soldiers feel just as appreciated as our husbands do and have them go back to the barracks room and relax

Is changing the character from a Marine to an international soldier an insult to Mitchell Paige, whose only condition for putting his face on the toy was that G.I. Joe always remain a United States Marine?

An atom bomb takes high technology and a lengthy development process. Given enriched uranium reactor capability-that bomb is still years off. The real concern is allowing them access to highly radioactive enriched uranium. A couple of pounds of this material, finely divided and released into any world city, would kill hundreds of thousands--and render those areas uninhabitable for a number of years. No explosion is needed, the simple lethality of the highly radioactive materials does the job. Radiation posioning is a very agonizing and nasty way to die. Considering the ties to terrorist groups, the expressed desire to wipe the Israeli regime from the pages of history, the little display they did last week--this concerns me. I personally think allowing Iran nuclear technology should be avoided at all costs. Military action may be a bad choice--doing nothing and allowing it to happen would be a worse choice. Comments?

Hogback Mtn is in Upper SC's "Dark Corner" near the western NC state line (Landrum/Tryon area). I've found nearly 30 musket balls in just walking around - either a battle site or firing range? I'm most curious as to the probable timeframe - balls do have white crusting - some are intact, some have flattened side.

Scientology was invented by L Ron Hubbard who started out as a Sci-Fi writer.

He stated “writing for a penny a word is ridiculous ! If a man REALLY wanted to earn $1-MILLION, he’d start his own religion”

After our 35 years experience in Northern Ireland which we are exercising with good results in AFGHANISTAN today, not to mention other religious conflicts we get dragged into to sort out,... WHAT sort of religion would YOU invent for future peace?
