Americans are answering the call
 

...to duty. I have been watching C-Span and the Generals testifying before the House Armed Services Committee about reformation and rotation of our military forces. They have stated that recruiting for Reserve Units is 100% plus...recruiting for Active Duty Units is 100% plus and retention is around 75%.

kill whitey

i have caller id so when 'they' do call i'm not answering:glugglug

:321GFY you

Yep

They all want to enlist and got to other countries to kil people.

When your military is involved in a sham like Iraq it's scary that recruitment is up.

Next time you're in the unemployment office look around you and see why recruitment is up.

You're not very bright are you?

what the hell cheesy kind of topic is this?

it's like something sexpedo would say

More fresh meat for the system.

Gotta love conformists.

Ring Ring, Hello?

Bye

charly:

Hell Charly - that ain't just scary!! It's fucking unbelievably dumb when you consider the current fiasco :Graucho

Gotta love American patriots who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice...if need be...for a cause greater than themselves.

Americans love a good fight...and are more than willing to kill those that have presented themselves as enemies of America.

lmao

Clueless pick up the paper in any city in America and check the help wanted ads. Larger cities have pages of help wanted ads.

theKing:

:1orglaugh There sure is a lot of fighting, patriotism, enemies and self-sacrifice going on!!

Ever thought of getting a grip and just behaving??? :winkwink:

good point, that is a little sad though

What fiasco are you referring to? Surely you did not think that a Muslim nation would be turned into a Democracy overnight? Post again ten years from now about the "fiasco".

Fuck you and your fresh meat.

Death is death. It's never good, and never funny when it's real. Go back to watching movies.

Dismissed...Danny Boy.

theKing:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Oh shit.. that is getting funnier by the minute!!

King... na... you are too dim and yet arrogant, - an unfortunate combination - ain't worth the trouble!! *loL*

:1orglaugh

Has the "Commander" issued an order??

You in some dreamworld there King?? :)

He's right. 2000+ years of backwards thinking and religious fanaticism will not change in our timetable.

Ten years is probably an optomistic outlook.

Yes...I agree...but America did turn a nation that was just as different culturally...as the Mid Eastern Muslim nations are to our culture...into a very strong Democratic government in about five years...Japan.

Very drastic measures.

Hey - do I get a t-shirt or something for going over 100 posts?

:Graucho

theKing:

Excuse me King - I hate to ask, but is this what the US thinks it must do??

Why?

Ever thought of sorting out some priorities and paying the billions that are owed to the rest of the world and at least start on some kinda healthcare program and other basics in the land of the free first??

Don't worry about "democracies" until ya stabilize your own and convert it from a "rogue regime" :1orglaugh

Attempt to change the will of an enemy or destroy them...which do you prefer? The first option is more difficult than the second option.

How do you plan to "stabilize" the US until the rest of the world catches up? I'd really love to see a coherent plan.

I have no problem with uniform healthcare - I'd love it.

Rogue regime? Well - within certain definitions, I understand that. But, with which other implementation of government would you like to swap it out? How would you "convert it"?

A "rogue regime" implies that our system of goverment has failed completely. Maybe your wording was a little strong, and maybe it was 'tongue in cheek'.

I hate to think that people really consider this a "rogue regime" when in fact, at the worst, it's a speedbump in the road.

His stupidity knows no boundaries. He is now predicting in ten years what will happen in Iraq.

I may be clueless but at least I'm not stupid.

theKing:

Ah, I'm getting it..... slowly!

So what we are talking about is the perceived enemies of the US again? Like in that dungeons and dragons game?

Yes.. I know now!! Tis best to destroy these dragons.. cos they are old and been around far longer than you ever existed and have this heritage and culture crap that "we don't like"...

Mmm... how about just nuking em.. you know, like we did with others? I hate em all - them "communists" and funny little people in places like Vietnam - they are all scum eh? Least we agree on that...

Mind it I help myself to another slice of Pizza?

Stupid, wake up to reality one day.

So my answer still sticks.

ahahahahaha... yes, fighting to make the rich richer and so governments can hold onto power.

Morons make me giggle but military morons make me howl with laughter.

Agreed and look at the difference they made to Vietnam. :1orglaugh

Clueless fucking old man..quote where I "predicted" anything.

How many other idiots like theklonk are there in the US?

I was thinking that Bush had no chance of getting in for a second term, but every time I read his posts I wonder.

Do you really think the individuals who serve in the armed forces think this way? Do you honestly think they do this to "make the rich richer"?

fusionx:

Well... no, - it don't actually work like that....

You see, this nice new country is... well, I hope you are not offended, but is a "little" immature for it's grandness.

It's not that there is any "catching up" to do really - it's more about having some ability to grow up and behave like a big person.

You see, at the moment a lot of these big people are looking on and shaking their heads in dismay and thinking this little kid is a kinda delinquent - we don't want that do we?

So... sip up that hot chocolate drink and off to bed!

You may view it as a game...I do not...and it is apparent that America does not. If the CONUS is hit in any substantial way yet again...I suspect that destruction in a massive way will be the next response. Thus far the US has been very limited in its response...to the last attack.

No, I don't think they think that way. I don't think they think at all. The armed forces doesn't require you to think. It just requires you to obey orders.

Free thinking people do not join the armed forces.

Cluless old man...as does my answer still stick...you do not live in the US...and I do. The papers are full of help wanted ads.
