Some people believe President George W started the Iraq war because Saddam was still the president of Iraq and not his own dad was not re elected as president. I dont know if this is true though. What do you think of this?

My husband (my/baby's sponser) is in the Army on Active Duty and is deployed. He won't be home for R&R until summer of 2008 (he tired for around the baby's due date, but it wasn't approved). I do have general power of attorney, and special power of attorney stating to "please enroll child in DEERS and Tricare, and get a passport for our child". What do I need to bring? Just the birth certificate, baby's social security card, and the power of attorney? Do I need to bring the baby with me? It's a 4 hour drive to the nearest military installation. How soon do I have to enroll the baby? I'm having a c-section and the hospital I'm going to likes to keep patiets for 4-5 days. I also don't know how long it will take to get the birth certificate or the social security card.

I grew up listening to stories from my dad, who was a WWII Marine. He gave us a good education about the realities of war, which I'm guessing liberals either don't know about, or are in denial about. In war things happen that don't happen everyday life. You capture the enemy, you interrogate the enemy with whatever means seems to work. Liberals need to grow the heck up.

I remember when I used the 50 cal in training, instructor said that it is against the geneva convention to use the 50 cal on soldiers. My instructor said "You're not shooting individual soldiers, you are shooting their canteens" That was quite a long time ago.

I notice that US troops are using 50 cal sniper rifles and there seem to be machine guns used to. What's the deal with this? Is it against or not against the Geneva convention?

My recruiter says that dependant on my MOS/AFSC I wont get sent... like certain admin jobs or like a chaplain assistant wont be as likely to go. However I have several friends and family members in the military or government and they are saying if I enlist I WILL get sent to Iraq regardless. Its not a huge deal, I wouldnt actually mind going, but I have children that I would rather not leave for that length of time if it is avoidable. Just curious as I am looking at MOS/AFSC and this could factor into the decision as to which one I choose. Thanks!!

My cousin is in the Marines. I hardly know this cousin, as we are different in age and I hardly saw him growing up. He was nothing but a smart mouth, lazy person before he entered the Marines, and I wouldn't be surprised if he entered it think it would be an easy paycheck. He met a young 18 yr. old girl after bootcamp, got her pregnant and they got married. I heard from relatives all the hateful, nasty things he was saying about his pregnant wife, including how he was going to find him another woman. He was at a family reunion recently, and considering that I personally have always thought he was a punk, I didn't have much to do with him. He was heard by my aunt saying that he was being sent to Iraq, and how he couldn't wait to get over there and kill some people without getting in trouble. My family was disgusted that he was saying this. I got an email from him afterwards, cusing me out for not showing him love or concern that he was going to Iraq. What kind of soldier is this?

I'm in the DEP and will be going into the USAF in January. Tedious story made short, a customer of mine is in the USAF and went in initially as a linguist and said that the DLI was super hard and that a lot of people don't make it and end up switching their job. I mean, it's what I want to do and I don't mind a challenge. I'm just curious.

Hello, I just received my HS diploma. I came across the Navy Reserves and something deep inside me felt triggered.

I have talked to a Navy recruiter.
I still seem to have some questions, and in respect to the recruiter and his job, I cannot trust his words with my life especially when signing a 6-year reserve contract

-How certain is it that you will be training for/entering the Rate you received before you do the big sign-up?

-After bootcamp the waiting period before you start you're Rate school training, I have heard 2-weeks and then some people waiting a while because there are no slots available to them for their specific rate school?

I am in for the experience, training and honor but the money is defiantly considered for a fresh HS grad. I still can't seem to calculate the payrate I will receive? 160$ a month? -taxes/gas?

Also the recruiter enjoyed mentioning I will simply receive 20k for just signing up, read the fine lines -UP TO 20k. How true is this really?

Thanks

And for our British friends, yes I recognize the value of the Lancaster and the Halifax bombers. The Stirling made a pretty good glider tug.

B-24 carried a bigger bomb load, was a tad faster and had more range. It was heavy on the controls, armed to the teeth and saw action in every theater of operations in World War II.

B-24 crews are loyal to their airplane.

B-17 was prettier, flew higher, and could take an incredible amount of punishment and still come home. It is the bomber we associate with the Eighth Air Force. Crews were extremely loyal to this aircraft.

More B-24s were built. The B-24 was a newer design, designed to exceed B-17 capabilities. It is generally recognized that bombing was one of the main reasons Germany was defeated in World War II. B-24s also bombed Japan.

Which one do you love?

Think about it:
1. No resistance. The Canadians are wusses. They might throw flowers at us and whine, that is it.
2. Rich oil reserves.
3. Land to expand our growing population.
4. Secure the N. American continent.
5. More natural resources.
6. Spread Christianity and American values.
7. Help them and make them prosper.

I believe we should and can do this.
YEA OR NEA?

my husband is in the coast guard and is going to be promoted to chief sometime after the beginning of the year. I'm very excited about this and I wanted to get him something special but am not entirely sure what. I was considering a really nice pocket watch that I can get with his name and rank engraved. I also have considered a really nice bottle of scotch since he enjoys that kind of thing. What do you think? any other ideas.
