Now you'll probably start to get those notices for jury duty.

but for a free pen, even I might do it!

Exactly. But there is a new bill in the works that will give the family of a KIA soldier $100,000, up from the current $12,000. That might be worth it if you hate life and your family is broke.

That's new? It was 100 Grand when I was in the Marines 10 years ago....Serviceman's Group Life Insurance.

I love people who are blatantly opinionated, and never seem to remember that the freedom to be opinionated comes from generations of Americans who proudly served in our military. People paid for your freedoms with their blood. Be thankful, because if they hadn't, you most likely would still be saying Heil Hitler right now, begging for food to feed your kids, instead of on here looking for something good to spend your hard earned money on.

We are a very fortunate country, we have no draft, our force is strictly volunteer, meaning if you so choose, you can "innoculate" your grandkids against the military and have the expectation that they never be forced to fight for the freedoms you take so easily for granted.

I just ask this, don't waste the precious resources that our military does have by ordering videos that you aren't interested in. If you don't want your family to be the one fighting, or dying, for our way of life, then at least have the decency to leave the resources for those great Americans who know that it takes sacrifice to provide what we all have, those who are still willing to do what our forefathers have done for generations.

To any former or current military member and their families on here, thank you for your sacrifice.

You're welcome. My father was a cook in the army in 1959 for 1 year in Texas.

I am, coincidentally(?) currently on 2 week call to United States District Court, Western District of Washington. Last week they didn't need anyone (cases in progress) but this Tuesday, who knows.

Rumor has it if you wear leather clothes you won't get selected. And I have a startrek communicator badge laying around somewhere, if I wear it and still get selected at least I'll be able to talk to my "invisible friends".



Thanks for your opinion, Angeliria, but I've paid my dues to Uncle Sam. Have you?

Precious resources? You mean our tax money? Sorry, I don't approve of recruiting young and often minority and poor kids for dying in far off lands for crappy causes. Your speech might resonate better if we were defending our borders from an invasion and occupation ala Red Dawn, but we are the aggresors now doing the occupying, no one should sign up for that sh!t.

This isn't WW2, this is Vietnam part II based on fabricated WMDs. Welcome to the new USA, where rational voices are regulated to blogs and moron chickenhawks run the show.

Actually, we would be saying "Your Majesty."

You remember that guy, don't you? King George?

Actually, Angelaira meant to write this:

I love people who are blatantly opinionated, and never seem to remember that the freedom to be ignorant of other cultures and other ways of life comes from generations of Americans who proudly killed off Native Americans. They paid for our land with their blood. Be thankful, because if they hadn't, you most likely would still be killing them now, and they would continue to beg for food to feed their kids, instead of having been massacred.

We are a very fortunate country, we have no draft, our force is strictly volunteer, meaning if you so choose, you can "innoculate" your grandkids against the lessons of history and remain ignorant about the Native American genocide, so that they never be forced to confront this country's past and see how the freedoms you take so easily for granted were not extended to women, natives, and minorities.

I just ask this, don't waste the precious tax dollars you have been paying by paying teachers more. If you don't want your family to be the one invading Iraq, or killing Iraqis, for our way of life, then at least have the decency to continue paying for it instead of protesting.

To any taxpayer, you have my sympathies...

 

[thedealmaker]

In video like this for army or navy or whatever, you will see people using the latest technology or drive a fighter jet, or whatever. But most likely in reality, you will be just carrying those equipments or cleaning the jets, not using or driving them.

 

[Robor]

Since the thread is drifting I'll add my $.02... I support the men and women of our armed forces but in this case I don't support the cause. Over 1300 soldiers killed, billions spent, foreign relations ruined, and for what? The "liberation" of Iraq? A safer US? Anyone who believes that is only kidding themselves. This war is going to be looked back on as Vietnam II. The sooner our troops are out of that sandpit and back home the better.

SGLI is now 250,000
I just got out after 10 years in the Army. I was moving about every 15 months and got tired of it. 6 PCS moves in 9 years. I was cooked.

And as far as being the one who gets to use the latest and greatest Gadgets and toys. It is hard, but if you can pass the physical requirements, apply yourself and know how to network and learn the system, you can pretty much do anything you want.
I am colorblind and couldn't even be a cook when I went in. I started as a 31c radio operator and then read the manuals on my own to learn how to master almost any communication device you threw at me.
I went to college at night when possible and still partied a lot. I went overseas 3 times. Blah blah blah.
Ended my Army career working in the computer field, in charge of a 2 humvee, 24 server, Tactical Server Farm that hooked to a Satellite truck for connectivity. I had 1 set out of 2 in the entire Army.

Because of what the Army gave me the opportunity to do, I now have an awesome Civilian job in a field I love and make a good salary.

The army is what you make of it, put into it and take out of it.

It's not for everyone, but it's a good opportunity for people that want to make something of themselves but don't have the money to go to college.

Yes recruiters suck, but they don't get paid per head, they get their career ruined if they don't make quota. A lot of them did not choose to be recruiters and are just doing what they are told. Some love it and volunteer for it, some are just doing their 2 year recruiter hitch.

It's a weird time right now in the Army. On the move and in transition.

Would I tell my kid to go in? I would let them make their own decision on it, but would probably tell him to go air force or coast guard instead. The Army is hard on your body...

As a certified 97E RU, I believe I have, even though I was on in peace time, and as of yet have not been needed in this time of war, as we are not at war with Russia.

You have fun in your leather Star-Trek outfit though, convince yourself you did your part.

 

[angelaira]

Oh, and as far as the reasons for going to war, I believe the liberation of people from Saddam Hussein was enough. We should have finished the job the first time. Anyone who commits the kinds of atrocities committed by Saddam (using chemical weopons on his own people, mass graves all over the country, toruring olympians for not winning gold, allowing his sons to rape and torture young women) should be dealt with.
Anyway, my personal belief aside, regardless of what we are sending our soldiers to do, they are still our soldiers, our military, and we need to be supportive of them. As the ten year veteran before me said, the Army is what you make of it.

I usually do not get into these pu$$y fights on a board BUT - I can't believe what I am seeing - so many cowards on this board it's unblievable. I for one salute anyone - soldier or reservist who is willing to step into this war - It will not be easy, and noone ever promised that but we have to stay in there now for quite a time - my immediate prediction was 30 years and I see myself confirmed.

Anyhow I rather have this war go on in Iraq then in my own country - F U # K T HO$E TERORI$TS and their supporters

And who exact sold Hussein chemical weapons? Why, the United States.



You people need to get a damn clue about what's going on in Iraq. If you honestly believe this war was about WMDs, then you are a) easily brainwashed b) living in your own fantasy land with chocolate bunnies c) watch FOX NEWS

 

[salsa086]

I have found that most of those opposing this war don't possess the mental capacity to understand the greater geo-strategic ramifications of not going to war.

It really is a waste of time trying to explain this to the liberal drones.

 

[Glpster]

Hahahahahahahaha!

**SMACK** Now get your head out of your a$$.

The Iraqi people didn't ask for us to terrorize their nation killing over 100,000 of their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, and friends and horribly maime hundreds of thousands more to "LIBERATE" them from Saddam Hussein. Or perhaps the fact that the Iraqi people now absolutely loath us with a purple passion has elluded you.

Perhaps you are unaware of where Hussein got WMDs to begin with. The United States. And who it was that encouraged a disenfranchised segment of the Iraqi people to rise up against him after the 1st gulf war. The United States. And afterwards left those uprisers high and dry to be put down by the WMDs that the U.S. sold to Hussein to be used against Iran.

(Oh, and don't think for one second that the U.S. government wouldn't eventually use similarly massive force to put down any large scale uprisings in this country, say by blacks or hispanics, or native Americans. It's wrong but it's what any established power will do when threatened, Ms. "We're so much more holier than they" Angelaira).

As for protecting our freedom? Yeah right! Reports now and some even prior to this illegal invasion of Iraq showed that Iraq did not have any significant stockpile of WMDs, was not in development of them, had no programs, and WAS in fact a very minor AND diminishing threat. And, in case you haven't noticed, over the last four years Americans are LESS free based soley on what those here in power have enacted into law, and hope to continue doing.

I suggest you take a good hard look at who is REALLY threatening American freedom.

And yes we should support our troops by not sending them into harms way to risk life and limb for unnecessary, illigitmate, and improper, reasons.

I'll finish for you, Just like a Californian, whom in this (US made war) of which 1 out of 4 of our enlisted.. NOT 1 of 4 US enlisted.... 1 of 4 CALIFORNIAN marines from PENDLETON have died from this WMD battle. Bush killed the most kids from California than in any other state. PENDLETON has wasted more lives for a no cause battle than any other in this country. What news are you watching? Must be a red state.

The soldiers are dying for NO reason that you can come up with. But so long as it's not you, you are one of those bandwagon people.
