Military - November 2007

Why not to increase the number of recruits for the vacant jobs change the max age to say 45yr old? My thinking is that while a person this age may not be fit for front line combat they certanly could fill most if not all support positions and free up younger personnel for the front line duty. Any thoughts?

I think only honorably discharged vets should get a day off. Everyone else-GET TO WORK!

I just want to say that I believe all war veterans should be remembered no matter what your political party or your apparant crimes. Regardless of his horrible actions, Mcveigh was indeed a dignified Gulf War hero.

Mcveigh is not the only criminal veteran as many Vietnam vets went into gangs and other illegal outlets after serving the war and they are honored on veteran's day.

No matter what you did in life, if you are a Veteran you will be remembered in my book.

Other question: Is the curfew also on weekend or just during the week?

The military is in need of help, so why can't you just sign up? Instead of having to have this and that, and that and this?? I mean, if they are in need, why the obsticle course and requirements?

Just a question my friend asked and I thought I would see some opinions. :)

As a War 2 Korea Vet. I feel a lot of people are missing the boat with the honor to the dead and or the living. Please don't misunderstand. They deserve all the credit they can get, particularly, the dead, and the ones who actuallyy were in combat, But my question is, whatabout the poor devils that came home in wheel chairs, legs missing, arms missing, sight or hearing gone. Does not really matter what, does it, They in my mind are the real heroes to be saluted Yes, in my mind I have two honorable discharges, from the Marines and the Navy, But my hat is off to those that are left as shells and we ignore.

1. It is at 11am. Is that 11am local time for overseas, or 11am absolute time. i.e. in Iraq did they have the 2 minute silence at 11am local time, or 3pm local time (or whatever it is).

2. Who went in person to a remembrance parade today? I went, for the first time in 20 years.
Nothing's changed lol!

OK only 2 questions then. Here is the tomb of the unknown queston.

I know that when you join the Air Force, at MEPS you choose five jobs that interest you, and the Air Force chooses the job for you based on qualifications and the needs of the Air Force. What I want to know is, how long after MEPS will it be before I know what MOS I've been assigned from my choices?

I have heard a number of people blame "libs" for losing the war or for it going badly because they do not support it

The acusation seems to rely on the concept that Americans have no right to an opinion as to how when why and where the military is used

Is this correct - That in fact they have only the right to agree with the governments position and everything else is to be seen as a crime as treason etc

I was reading the other day, that if you were to join the Marines, which I am planning on doing, that they could switch you from your choice of field and put you into infantry without your consent. I've never heard of that happening in any branch. Is this true? When I graduate from college, would they throw me into infantry with all of their money invested in my training?

Watch the videos first before commenting:

And go to http://www.youtube.com and search for movies
using the keywords:

controlled demolition wtc

molten metal wtc

inside job wtc

Look at the strong evidence of molten metal that was created
on 9/11 - and the fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE for open air fuel
fires to create molten steel or molten aluminium (just from the
jet fuel fires alone), because there is simply not enough O2,
oxygen, in open air, to get fire temperatures above the melting
point of aluminium (about 550-600 C). Also, watch the 9/11
Mysteries movie, and you will see yellow-orange hot molten
steel (not molten aluminium, which is silvery grey) pouring out
of the South Tower, just minutes before it collapses!

That's over 200,000 tons of steel losing ALL its strength at free
fall collapse speed; most of it was not even on fire!

Is it because families are able to put their children through college so very few privileged folks are joining the military at this time? Those who are less fortunate (and color plays no role in when you are poor - poor is poor) join the military for the benefits - some just for a place to sleep and for meals. Others for the money for college and the ability to take care of themselves. All believe in our country and our right for freedom but not all are willing to fight for it. I believe the draft should come back into play - only add women to that as well.

Politicians have money, therefore, they are not able to represent the poor and middle class as they cannot relate to what it is like to live at a lower economic level where money is an issue. Would you send your kid to the army at this point in time if you had the resources to send them to college and can provide a nice comfortable home for them along with a car, clothes, fun money, etc. . . ? Probably not.

Seriously, all of the vets I have met have been some of the most bitter, cranky, bigoted minded individuals I have ever come in contact with. I dont think they deserve a holiday. They're not anymore important than anyone else in America.
