Military - October 2007

If the people of Iraq were offered freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and a Bill of Rights, they would reject it.

It is a myth that the word is mighter than the sword.

Bear in mind, 250 have already returned home so deduct that number from 1000....

Also bear in mind, pre-planned troop rotation... and count the days until you see/hear GB standing up and saying "we're sending more troops to AFGHANISTAN (the REAL SOURCE of this recent terror conflict).. and the 'praise' being heaped on him....

Play on words?... OR... Gordon Brown playing the usual political game with our lives on the line...?

I saw this movie yesterday...I was HORRIFIED...

In the movie, whole Britain is destroyed by a terrible virus which turns the humans into zombies who kill and eat everyone...
The most terrifying thing is the fact the virus has IMMEDIATE effects, and the attacked person becomes a zombie in less than 1 minute.
In the movie, there are some scary images and horrible scenes, and last night I was so scared that I closed all my windows ( despite of the heat )
I noticed that ,at several times, the virus could strike new victims just because of the psychology and the pity of the characters ( the US soldier who refuses to shot the young child, and he decides to save some humans ; the military doctor who wants to help the two children ; the husband who kisses her infected woman, because he beg pardon ; the helicopter US Black pilot who accepts to carry the two children; etc...)

I never felt such a thrill in my whole life

THAT KIND OF VIRUS CANNOT EXIST, CAN IT ?

I am 17 and I am joining the Australian Navy at the end of next month as a Combat Systems Operator. But im worried that I might never be able to find someone to start a family as my job is permanently stationed on a ship.

Is it just one night stands for me for the rest of my life? It may sound great to some people but im sure you would get bored of it after a while.

If an experienced soldier is paid $60K/yr, and the private security firms pay $400K/yr, doesn't common sense tell us that an experienced soldier is serving his enlistment and then going to work for the security firms? Doesn't common sense also tell us that privatizing traditional military roles is very expensive?

Surely the US and the willing do not care about dictatorship or the people of Iraq .Many people in other countries suffer worst than what Iraqi people did for example Iran ,Korea, Burma ,USSR(in the past) just to mention a few .I am confused as do not understand the reaason for the invasion or the benifit from it for the US or the willing .All I can see death and destruction on all sides .

If there was every a necessary Rebellion against The U.S. Government would The U.S. Army involve iself in the rape,torture, and murder of each type of U.S. citizen as they fought The Rebellion. If not would mercenaries do so or if both was possible would both behave in simillar ways to mercenaries during The Thirty Year's War in Europe except the war would be non religious . Would they behave so if it lasted Thirty years unlikey as it may seem

BURMESE MILITARY IS WORTH US$ 200,000,000,000 OR 60,000,000,000,000 KYAT AT MARKET PRICE.

FOR 60 YEARS THE BURMESE GENERALS SPEND ABOUT 50% OF THEIR BUDGET TO BUY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

AMERICA COULD BOMB BURMA FOR ONE WEEK AND THERE WILL BE NO WEAPON LEFT FOR THE BURMESE COLONELS.

BURMESE COLONEL WILL HAVE TO USE STICK TO FIGHT WITH THAILAND AND BANGLADESH.

IF AMERICA BOMB BURMA THEN IT IS EASY FOR THAILAND AND BANGLADESH TO GRAP 32 PERCENT OF BURMESE LAND BECAUSE MINORITIES BELONG TO 32% OF BURMESE LAND.

THESE MINORITIES CONTROL VALUABLE DRUG TRADE.

BURMA, THAILAND AND LAOS FORM THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE FOR DRUG TRADE.

THE MONEY IS GOOD AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE GENERALS TO GIVE UP THESE POCKET MONEY.

AMERICA MUST REMEMBER THAT THOSE DRUG FROM BURMA ARE DESTROYING AMERICAN YOUTHS.

I THINK THOSE GENERALS HAD 20 YEARS OF FUN SINCE 1988 AND IT ABOUT TIME THEY RETIRE IN CHINA WITH THEIR DRUG MONEY.

THOSE BURMESE COLONELS OR YOUNG TURKS COULD START A NEW BURMA.

This is what I have gathered from some answers from this Yahoo Answers and from sources elsewhere.

It seems to me that many people are extremely proud of their country's army. This is understandable because the army of a country symbolise its strength and its might.

However, is there anyone who don't really like the army or do not like it very much? I can't possibly believe everyone in this world likes the army and its way of life?

Why would you not like the army or be in the army? Is there any particular reason? Is it because it is too tough and the people there too rough? Is it because you prefer other things?

Mind sharing your thoughts?

The argument that somehow the US is forever responsible for Iraq doesn't compute. Being in the middle east at all doesn't compute. We don't need the oil....certainly not at the price we're paying in lives and borrowed billions. The argument that Iraq will become a center for 'terrorists' doesn't comput either...terrorism cuts both ways...certainly we could convince any country that supports or allows this kind of behavior to pay a major price...and if we can't after spending billions of borrowed bucks someone should bring brought up on charges. I hear the same old bleats about this supposed 'left' that 'supports' the Islamofascists....or the non-existant 'liberals' or some such BS. Attacking the strawman isn't much of a reason to occupy Iraq..we need to get out of there and actually deal with the problems of energy and terrorism.

There is a person that I know in my area, that claims to be a Navy-Marine Corp SEAL, and was recently shown on local TV as a war hero. My wife attended a Veterans Day celebration a few years ago, and the "hero" was asked to lead the pledge of allegeance to the US flag, but did not know the words. He has also appeared in court, to get custody of a foster child, in a LtCmndrs Uniform. How can I expose this crack-pot?
