My hubby and I are considering join the military together haven't decided on the branch yet. However, I have a masters degree in healthcare and when I spoke to the officer recruiters they stated I can go in as an officer. Well hubby on the other hand has an associate's and he has to go in enlisted. Hubby doesn't want to wait until he gets his degree to go in. With the Fratenization policies, etc. Can we go in the military and be married, live together,etc? Is this accepted in the military?

I know that the members of the armed forces are considered Veterans but are those who protect us at home also considered Veterans? If they aren't, shouldn't they?

You can't say it's because they can't. If they speek out off duty and in civilian clothes there is nothing the military can do. The only exception are high profile soldiers like Generals. Also, former soldiers have absolutly nothing to worry about if they speek out. It doesn't seem the soldiers who have been to Iraq are agianst the mission.

My close friends and my family are appreciative all the time, but it seems like the only time veterans are thanked is when there's a holiday to remind people. Most people only want to know if you killed someone and/or "what was it really like over there?" Are my fellow Americans really that selfish, forgettful, and uncaring? I know there are those individuals that are not like this, but the average American seems blissfully ignorant. Thank you, fellow veterans and thank you to all the people who DO support veterans every day, not just for an extended weekend in October.

*****
The Art of War

A soldier wearily reconnoiters,
Unscopeable defilade blankets him,
A sightline opening unencumbered,
Paratroopers envelop egress outs,
Fire away projectile unstoppable,
Insurgency targeted, faceless foe,
A bullets momentum indiscreetly,
Disemboweling rapidly, swiftly dead,
The escape quietly organizes,
Military discipline orders it.

***
Hot

The desert calls to no man
Dunes replete with bleached white bones
Endless waves of sand, one color, one sound
Anonymous, nameless expanse
Scorched and blistered rock faces
Seared rage sweltering, holding fire
Motionless specter, sighting
Opportunity, egress clear
JAR triggered,
Directed,
Away…silently

I can't find "The Dance with Death." I'll look for it at lunch.

*****
Chaplains on a wall
TD Euwaite

Lieutenant Capodanno
Chaplain, U.S. Navy
Repeatedly…
Ran toward enemy fire
Dragging Marines to safety
Many wounds, arms, legs, face
Mortar round blew off a hand
Again he ran, this time
To a Corpsman on the ground,
Heavy machine gun rounds
Cut him down

Major Watters
Chaplain, 173rd Airborne Brigade
After the perimeter was pulled back
Three times he stepped over the wire
Through friendly and unfriendly fire
Brought solders back, on his back
Fell while aiding the wounded

There’s a long, low wall in Washington
Many named there
Passed to the next life
While holding the hands of these
When you go, passing slowly
Whisper low and softly
Thank you

Prince Harry is alleged to be upset that he wasn't allowed to fight in Afghanistan. I wonder, firstly, if he realised this isn't like the street brawls with photographers but he could actually get killed. Aside from this, what I'd like to ask is how he seems to get so much leave from the Army. And also, do they really pay that well that 'officers' such as him can afford to spend so much on one night's boozing, 24 hours boozing sessions, every night in a nightclub? If he were allowed to join the real soldiers out there, would they find a nightclub for him? I believe that all this bravado he shows about wanting to go out there to fight is all a front. He knows full well that this would never be allowed, and no matter how many times he says he wants to go, he is fully aware that he is never going to be at risk. My question is mainly about the amount of leave and the pay, but please comment on the other parts if you wish.
