    So what are those? How do you know? My opinion is that the majority of them are fighting because they have lost their favored position with the government, or they feel they have no place at the table... that's based on where they are concentrated... you don't see huge problems in the South, or in the Kurd areas... are some of them fighting becuase we kicked in their door, probably... but I don't think it is the majority... and lets not forget about the ones that aren't even Iraqi... maybe you should read a few more reports... about say Mosul?? where exactly is that??? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    what i know is you have no clue about the motivations of those fighting against us, but instead buy whole parcel the adminstrations spin on it..... their 'acceptable loss stand ard' is completely different from ours.. remember this is the culture that believes martyrs for the cause all go to heaven....we are attempting to change some of the fundamental values of their culture to more closely align with ours... some of the people are all for that, but as a great many of them get their marching orders from their religious and tribal leaders, many of the ones who were accepting the changes earlier are now rebelling against them... but dont let reality interfere with your preconceptions... unless of course you happen to be the POTUS. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    umm did you check the date?? and quiet obviously you simply dont like metal... i can think of a few people who felt the same way about the Beatles... if your not in the genre you wont understand the influence. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    quiet the broad brush you have there..... nice way to gloss over the real reasons why the majority of the insurgents are fighting against us... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    your not going to get many games or videos on them at 512 megs.. and if you dont stop them correcty some of the older ones like to drop data.. also be careful what you put on them.. these things are going to get the military in ALOT of trouble as people dont realize once you plug it into a classified machine it is now classified as well... and so is every machine you plug it into from then on... and of course if you happen to lose it with some pictures of you in compromising positions who ever finds it will make fun of you forever.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    neither really... go to their website i think it has samples... it is basically Christmas songs with the amps on 11... but unlike poppica these guys are good. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    and that is the way to go IMO... anything else becomes a 'measuring game' like the friend you just mentioned.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    really? 100-200 bucks is like one weekends worth of jumps..if i dont like her enough that giving up one weekends worth of jumps is an issue (if i felt like it, honestly its not about the money at all) for her, then i probably shouldnt be wasting my time.... afterall there is always more money...time on the other hand..... edit: because i'm obviously too distracted to pay attention to my typing skills here... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Looks like they were not prepared to invade then huh? Just proves my point. not really... without the assistance the French received from outside they were doing quite well as an occupying force.. the French resistance was a joke comparatively.....

    well when i get home i'll look up every reference to every army that has taken the time to make sure its soldiers had the proper training and equipment they needed to succeed.. but for starters you might read up on the Blitzkreig..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    most Armies are prepared to invade... its not like you have to do it on THEIR time table.....but then if you dont you might not get to make your carrier landing photo op in time to affect elections.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    i can personally recount instances where that has not happened, and while we may have the best intentions, they are not always followed.....both in the pre-planning (always blamed on 'bad intel' even when they were simply on the wrong street ) and in apologies afterwards.. its not as if hand receipts are often given, or tracked after the fact when they are.....and EVERY SINGLE document, photo and money (no real banks remember, people DO keep everything they own 'under the matress') and all is taken and never returned.. saying 'i'm sorry' doesnt mean much.. it wouldnt mean much to me either if the Canadians had done it to my home... and family pride and honor is a MUCH bigger deal in the Mid East than in the majority of western cultures.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    The UCMJ and the Code of Conduct. Every soldier is expected to know and understand them... they can always ask their leadership (or other avenue if the leadership IS the problem) for clarification. As to 'doing what your told' the leaders are expected to follow the exact same standard, and if they are ,then they will not be putting their soldiers in any position where there is a need to question orders. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    that would be an unlawful order, and soldiers are not required to obey unlawful orders... if you'd been thru basic training even you would have been educated on the difference. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    exactly.. no one forced him to join..and there are alot of ditches that need digging in Iraq right now... dont become a soldier if your not willing to fight... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    believe it or not, some of them are fighting because the last guy who kicked their door in, handcuffed their mother, ransacked their house and interogated their father and brothers had an american flag on his shoulder... we have gone from the fanatics hating us for who were are to creating citizens (of the country WE INVADED) who hate us for what we do... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    that is exactly the reason why i started putting European-American on every place that asked for 'race' African-American isnt a racial designation either.. .but dont tell anyone else that... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
