Answer 2

We the surfers of cyber world meet with so many people every day. Surfing the net is the best pastime one can ever develop, as internet has the most knowledge, a surfer will never have to wait for a answer. The vast knowledge of cyber world is nothing as compared to the cyber society that it gives. Internet is a community but so vast that we need a place to make conversation easy. What more can be better than a chat room for this purpose, well a chat room and a message board along with a forum is the best combination really. I was actually looking for a place where we can find all these things with a profile and photo brouse option. Finally I got this site, this place is a very nice community where we can share every thing online. And also about the leader board, I must tell it is great.

Answer 3

That was really amazing. I cried and it takes a lot for me to cry!
I wish that a posting like this would really make someone who hates the Military stop and think about what they say and realize how horrible it is, but that's just not going to happen. I think it's bad when someone who has never had any experience with the Armed Forces makes comments that the troops get what they deserve, and call them baby killers. Many people are convinced if a service member doesn't want to go to war, then they just shouldn't go. They don't understand it just doesn't work like that! And if they do go AWOL, they will go to jail. And I really can't understand former Military members criticizing our troops.If anyone should understand the position these men and women are put in, and know what the rules of the Military are, it should be former Vets, but I see many of them saying horrible stuff too!
I know what a wonderful, loving, unselfish husband I have, and he is truly one of the best people I have ever met in my life, and I know he has proudly served this Country for years. He is nothing like what these anti Military people claim our Armed Force members are like. I get more angry then he does when someone is disrespectful towards the Military. He usually says that people are entitled to feel how they want to feel, and he wants to continue serving to make sure people get to keep that right. (He is much more understanding then I am)
The only thing we can do is continue our support for these men and women, and the support shouldn't stop when they come back from Iraq. Our Military needs to be supported all the time! It doesn't matter if they are in the Iraqi war, out in the middle of the sea, or in a little office on some base, these are the people who risk their lives to ensure our future and the futures of our children.

Answer 4

Ive read that before, always nice to see again tho.

I dont know why so many people do that. First off, if it wasnt for the service men and women, they wouldnt be able to do it. Secondly, whether they support the war or not, everyone over there fighting is someones brother, sister, son or daughter, or spouse etc. Have some freaking compassion I say. They believe whole heartedly in what they are doing over there.

I myself dont support the war, or Bush for that matter, but I thank my lucky stars each day for the men and women in the service and ask that they all remain safe and come home soon.

Answer 5

Where in the world are you getting this cr*p. No matter what people feel about the war everyone takes their hats off to the men and women fighting this crazy war. You took a lot of room to preach to the choir dear. This is the silliest thing I've seen on here today.

Answer 6

First off to all this is a must read. To the writer that is an incredible way of telling about our military. You should sent that to military.com Anyways to answer our question the reason I believe is because of our media. They are totally against what this administration is doing and that is why you hear only one side. So everyone just watches tv and doesnt really try to get involved in figure out what the truth is. Some are spoiled, some are ignorant, some don't care but there are some that just don't understand our enemie, like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Al Sharpton just to name a few, they all say that we are doing to wrong thing, some go as far as to say that the people our troops are fighting are freedom fighters. I guess if you want to look at it that way they are freedom fighters, they fight against the freedom of religion, the freedom to vote, the freedom to wear what you wanna wear, the freedom to say what you want to say, and the freedom of the pursuit of happiness. They do not want that they want women dressed in black clothes that cover their entire body, they want everyone to believe what they want to believe, they want democracy to be destroyed. The people who degrade our troops and the ones that do not support them whether by not sending packages or just by makeing fun of our troops or who critisize our troops for the decisions they make, they all just dont understand our enemie and what are enemies agenda is. Thank you for saying what you have said about me and the rest of my commrades it is inspiring. Semper Fi.

Answer 7

way to much crap to read, and it's sounds like you complaining about the life you chose, those are your working conditions for the career you chose for youself, right? did you think you were going to a spa? those people rock by the way, it's the punk A S S ones that cry about it, or say we're wrong for being here i just wanted my college money that get on my nerves and should be judged

Answer 8

I've read this before and enjoyed it alot. If all young people would have to serve just 2 years, no matter want color, nationality, or your social status, just think how America would be. Respect, Honor, and Manners would not be a question in their vocabulary.

Answer 9

I admire all our service men and women, and I think we all owe them a huge debt.

It is the government we should hold accountable when we wage wars that we do not agree with. The military personnel are only doing the job they were instructed to do.

No soldier should ever return to this country feeling unwelcome or unappreciated!!!

Answer 10

I don't know about other branches of the military but, women are not allowed in the marine corps infantry. so i would venture to guess that is why it always says "him". I'm not assuming that women aren't in infantry in other parts of the military, I'm just saying women aren't allowed, to my knowledge

Answer 11

Our Men and Women are condemed because there are so many spoiled people out there that will never know for a day in their life what our military and their families go through.
