I got out of the Army earlier this year and filed for disability benefits because of an injure that I picked up while I was in. The VA still haven't made a decision yet, but I'm predicting that they will make one in the following month. If they do offer me a percentage, will it still be possible for me to join ROTC or will I have to turn the offer down.

I am specifically interested in the Americans and British. I know the Soviets always had supply shortages and used German weapons often.

Indeed, according to the UN website -
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=25084&Cr=afghan&Cr1=
At the end of 2007, humanitarian actors in Afghanistan are operating under much tighter security restrictions – the inevitable consequence of insecurity on the ground – Charlie Higgins of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said at a press briefing in Kabul today.

“These restrictions curtail our access to communities for humanitarian purposes, whether this is the delivery of relief, or efforts to protect civilians from direct harm during conflict,” stated Mr. Higgins, who heads UNAMA’s humanitarian unit.

Mr. Higgins stressed “an unacceptably high risk” to agencies that carry humanitarian deliveries along the main routes in southern and western Afghanistan, as evidenced by a recent attack on a UN World Food Programme (WFP) truck carrying 15 tons of biscuits. The vehicle was looted and then burned, and the driver killed" UNQUOTE
I won't dwell on recent news.

I wonder if there are details known as to what the strategy/tactics were for the the successful campaign. Is this "Patraeus" doctrine really his or was there some other mastermind? Did he just popularize the ideas? How excited are military experts about the current surge success in Iraq and the new strategy especially as a new tool against terrorism?

I am in Air Force ROTC and I have several friends and relatives who are or have been enlisted. Do I technically outrank them because I'm in an officer course, or do they still outrank me because I'm not "in" yet?

My step-son just enlisted in the army and ships out to boot camp in January. He told us that the recruiters promised him that since he wants to be an MP he will not see any combat or ever have to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. I think that the recruiters will tell a kid anything they want to hear just to get them to sign on the dotted line. What do you think or know? Please respond....

I just finished AIT and was wondering what can I expect when I get into the "big army". What kind of lifestyle is it, how will I be treated as a new private. Some things I should know before I get there? I'll be an MP and going to Ft. Lewis, so was also wondering what chances I'll have as getting with a combat unit or will I be a post cop?

This is for those new enlistees and those on DEP. How do you answer those that ask you why on earth did you enlist at a time like this?
I was asked this same ? many years ago, I am just curious to see if there are any differences nowdays, or if the answer is the same.

I commend all of you who have enlisted for your devotion to duty and country.

There's a story on CNN about a Marine who forced recruits to do this, but there's no explanation of what it is. It does say the practice is banned.

Germany sufffered massive financial and territorial losses due to the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, my question is:

How was Germany able to overcome that and be so deadly and powerful that enabled the Nazis to conquer almost all of Europe?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles

The terms of the Treaty, which Germany had no choice but to accept, were announced on May 7, 1919. Germany lost:

13% of its national territory
All of its overseas colonies (including Kamerun, German East Africa, German Southwest Africa, Togoland and German New Guinea)
12.5% of its population
16% of its coalfields, and half its iron and steel industry.
Union with Austria (Anschluss) forbidden.

Military Restrictions on Germany
The Rhineland to be a demilitarized zone.
The German armed forces cannot number more than 100,000 troops and no conscription.
Enlisted men to be retained for at least 12 years; officers to be retained for at least 25 years.
Manufacturing of weapons
