britain have the finest fighting forces in the world, send them to iraq with a load of yanks and they all end up getting shot! why does the government give any old redneck idiot in america a gun and tell them to fire at will? should they at least be shown how to hold a gun?

I'm an Army mom and wife. My son is in Iraq and my husband is soon to join him. The predeployment issues are driving me crazy! HE is driving me crazy! I know of the Red Cross web sites and other "resources" out there. This ain't my first rodeo, so to speak. What I need is someone who has dealt with this to advise. My FRG is pretty far away and not readily available. Please advise on dealing with the insecurities of your soldier and where to draw the line on issues such as time with him (while he is still here). He is able to come home on some weekends and demands I drop everything, including my responsibilities with our 2 year old son. And I do, with the exception of my son. When I am unable to find a sitter or have to attend to the baby, he is withdrawn and says I don't care about him. If I release my frustration and try to talk to him about situations I'm struggling with, he says I don't want to be here. If I don't discuss these things, he says I'm being pretentious. Please HELP!

They are smashing on human rights and holding there people hostage. Don't you think it would it help our image to do a few air raids and knock out some government/army posts to send them a message. As an American I think this would help, it would flaunt our strength even though the world may think we are overstretched in Iraq.

some soldiers use red torches, Aircraft carriers use red flood lights to illuminate the runway at night, and the inside of most bombers and large cargo carrier planes are illuminated with red light during night missions, especially the inside loading zone and tanks use red lighting too. Why the red light colour???

I heard that a group of military men asked Starbucks to send them some samples or something of their coffee, but that Starbucks refused because they do not support the troops. Is this true? I can't imagine a company refusing service like that just because of a difference of opinions... do they not realize that any service member can walk into their store and buy it, so in a way they are still supporting the troops?

By concussion grenade, I'm talking the textbook kind. The shock-wave kind as opposed to the Flash-bang kind. I know they can cause massive internal bleeding, but I don't know what range.
I need 3 ranges:
Killing-range (As in, immediate death.)
Lethal-range (Probably gonna die due to injury.)
Injury-range (Low chance of death.)
I'm writing a story and I don't want to skimp on details... Somehow I think posting this on Yahoo answers seems to contradict that..

It's no secret that the Bush Administration knew that Iraq would be a "walk in the park" seeing there were no WMD.

I am considering, among many other options, enlisting in the Marines. I am a high school senior and not sure what i want to do. I have been accepted into several colleges, but really feel a strong urge to serve my country. I don't, however, wish to make a career in the military. I have thought about reserves, but it seems like i would not be doing as much in the reserves as i could if i enlisted full time. I want to know what the limit is for a marine enlistment, and i have no problem with taking an enlistment where i know that i will get shipped off to Iraq. So, what's the shortest possible enlistment?
