So you would think they would let him be, But we know the government knows best right.... Quoting: Guarnere09 He knew what he was signing up for. In addition, he is being paid. This is what people forget. Why do folks sign up for the mil? Money. Young and Idealistic? Alot of them want to go ahead and serve their country to get it over with...I am an ex wife of a marine and a Mother oungto a Son that served and have 6 cousins that served along with 2 of my nieces husbands that served... I feel for him just having a new baby AND just getting back stateside and having to deploy again...if they are sending him to Cali, you can almost BET its NOT to sign in-- he's going to train and he is headed for the middle east!! This is one young man I will be lifting up in prayer- because I know exactly what it feels like to have a loved one working in trenches of the unknown. Those who fail to have a plan are planning to fail. ***I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself; A Bird will fall frozen from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. D.H.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23597994 United States10/14/2012 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | true but they never do. the military - of every country- are cannon fodder for the rich That's why we have a volunteer military. So there's no chance that these fortunate kids would be drafted, and because they know they can get enough volunteers. And once someone volunteers, you can put them through more than if they had been drafted. You would have a real political problem if you tried to stop-loss draftees. But here, you just say "it's in your contract." |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23597994 United States10/14/2012 09:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also, our foreign policy would come under more intense scrutiny if kids were being drafted to implement it. Maybe there would be enough push-back to end our policy of endless mucking around in the middle east. And they don't see the need to risk that. |

Even if Obama says he'll do that (and Biden did say very clearly he'd get out of Afghanistan in the VP debate) there could be a new war. Libya came out of the blue, after he said he wouldn't do it. Syria must be tempting to him. I say that sarcastically, bitterly. |

| Outdoor_Princess User ID: 25585149  Canada10/14/2012 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My brother is in the Marines. He went to Iraq and Afagn. Recently he got to come home. I think he said he was now Active Reserve or something cause he had like 2yrs left on his contract. Well his 2yrs are almost up and they sent a letter to my dads telling him he has to report to houston airport i guess to go back to california. I have not been able to talk to him about. But it seems they are wanting to deploy him again. Where idk, but i have a good feeling on what they are planning. I see people are putting stuff about wars they believe are coming up, so i figured i would throw that out there. I will update when i talk to him, which should be later this evening. Quoting: Guarnere09 I already know his stance on this tho, because we talked about what was going on over there, and he doesnt agree with it. Pathetic politicians. I'm new on this site and I completely understnad your frustration on the situation. BUT, posting things like this about the US possibly having plans involving the next world war - what if the people we're fighting read this and get the wrong impression that the US plans to attack first and in turn prepares their troops... Thus causing World Wars...  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23597994 United States10/14/2012 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well im getting off here, i will update when he gets more information, he doesnt have to go until Nov. i think Quoting: Guarnere09 Americans sign up to serve this country (Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines) to defend this Great Country we live in! I hope you are being sarcastic. And I hope the OP's brother knows why he went to Afganistan as it has a lot to do with Opium. I wonder how often military personnel actually question the reasons they are doing a certain job. Seems like most of them have their heads in the sand and don't want to know. They just want a paycheck. They give up their right to ask these questions when they join the military. Especially because it's voluntary. "Mine is not to reason why. Mine is but to do and die." The oath says something different. But if you're given an illegal order, it turns out that generally you'd still better follow it. |

You're in Canada so you can be forgiven for not knowing just how little the US citizens feel connected to these wars the government is pursuing in these places in the middle east. Really why do I care about which regime runs Iraq. Don't kill the people over there and ruin the place to put your own guys in, certainly not in my name! |

You're ion America, so you can be forgiven for not knowing how much we actually know about the States. I get CNN too you know =P And I have American family. I do know how little you guys care. But I do think I have a valid point in saying that if your government IS in fact planning an attack and people are expressing concern about their family members being deployed, I wouldn't exactly advertise it on the net and possibly put your nation or soldier family member at risk. I'm sure they have access to the same sites we do, hell for all we know they're the ones that are trolling LOL  :) Just saying.. |

Its assholes like you that fuck this country up, instead of criticizing people who are trying to do something good for the country why dont you try to contribute yourself. And if your not from this country mind your own F%#kin$ business. and by the way since you seem to be an expert on the military why dont you explain to us the different branches and their missions. |

If you have worked in advertising, law, chemical or biological testing and research. If you have mined, invested, banked, paid taxes, or hell just been an American chances are you've contributed to the beast.
