And the winner is.... "We have to pass it to know what's in it."

I'm relying on some civics classes from a while back, but if I remember correctly it is the Congress does the authorizing and the President does the commanding. The citizens elect people for those positions, and if they don't like the direction the Military is going write a letter. It grates on...

Some of the problems with the Volunteer Army are the handcuffing of the recruiters to weed out the misfits at the front door of the station. They can't delay them because of being gay, disrespectful and a host of other things. Then the DI can't tune them up like they use to. Just an...

Yep really, well not during Basic Training. Quite often, provided they were authorized. (need to know type of thing) Being a Platoon Sgt. I often briefed my Troops what the mission was and how we were going to accomplish it. (by the way they didn't necessarily have clearances) Wrong, I could...

Wasn't a trick at all, he just had to think it was his idea. ;)

Holy smokes! What branch of service were you in? What time frame did you serve? When I was in, trying to argue with an instructor would have resulted in a DI removing his Campaign Hat and doing a Kato (Goldfinger) like removal of your head.

If I read this correctly you are saying that you have earned several medals for heroism, along with the Medal Of Honor. I respect your heroism, but why would you compare yourself to a General who died 70 years ago.

It could, but reading his posts I think it means just what it says.[I] I think you might want to reread his responses. You've heard of a 'truckstop attorney'? We called em 'Latrine lawyers'(sanitized version) Nope that ain't it.

That would depend on what they are accused of. AWOL from a weekend work detail = a walk in the park. Mouthing off to a superior = cleaning the park Striking a superior = mysteriously bunked with the biggest angry man of the opposite race. Failure to deploy = see above with the addition of...

Is there anyone that either carries a weapon or that leads people that carry them that you have any respect for?

That's what I'm talking about. How about it Turtle can you give me a hand please.

It seems to me that you are saying that the American system works. After all the Generals were fired and 'truth, justice, and the American system' won out. Right?

This is at the the second time this video has been brought up. Because of my lack of skill in searching the internet would you please help me find all pertinent unit information along with the mission reports. I have seen the video, and it is worth a 1000 words, but there is more to the story.

You are absolutely correct that they are not the same.

Yes I think you are infatuated with Obama, My comment was more about your thoughts that Obama didn't quit, and Palin did. Obama 'quit' in 2007.

Your infatuation of Obama and and your dislike of Palin seems to cloud your every post.

So are you saying that you fully understand the treaty? I would love to hear your take on it.

Did anyone read the survey questions that they gave the military. If they based some of their decision on those answers they must have not read the answers. I spent some time reading those questions and it seemed to me that they purposely asked questions that could be interpreted either way...

Normally when we had known gay people in the platoon we showered at different times, if I was heading to the shower and noticed one of them already there then I would postpone my shower until they were done, they did the same thing. Some of them may have done so out of common courtesy, while...
