I am writing this in response to all the attention that Cindy Sheehan and her protests are getting. I am a deployed soldier with 2nd Squadron, 278th RCT at FOB Bernstein near Tuz Khurmatu, Iraq.This is my second deployment. The first was from April 2003 to April 2004 and it was spent mostly in Qatar, but I also spent some time at Camp Cedar II just outside An Nasiriyah, Iraq. I volunteered to return with the 278th and I do not regret my decision at all.Obviously, I believe in and support the war for a variety of reasons. I think...

GIs marching away from re-enlistment War may have some Fort Carson troops leaving the ranks In-Depth Coverage By Dick Foster, Rocky Mountain News COLORADO SPRINGS - Army re-enlistments have dropped suddenly and dramatically at Fort Carson and several other posts where combat units have recently returned from Iraq. The surprising decline within the past 21/2 months has jolted recruiters and military analysts and provoked questions about the war's effect on the Army's recruiting ability. Since Fort Carson units began coming home in April, post recruiters have met only 57 percent of their quota for re-enlisting first-term soldiers for a second...

On hearing of former President Reagan's death my wife and I decided to go and pay our respects. We decided to go on Monday and made plans to leave Wednesday afternoon after work. We live in western North Carolina and we have been to D.C. on several occasions so we knew about how long it would take us to arrive. We would take I-40 to I-77, then take I-81 north to I-66 and into the district.We had figured on seven hours and we made it to Alexandria at almost exactly midnight on Wednesday (we left D.C. at about 5:30 p.m....

D-Day, on its 60th anniversary, is passing from memory into symbolism. This may not be the last time that veterans gather in large numbers, and to such moving effect, at the Normandy memorials, but as more of these gallant soldiers pass away, a younger generation of politicians can more comfortably wrangle about the imagery of the landings. This is, for example, the first year that the German leader has been invited to the commemoration; but his Italian counterpart has been left out. Silvio Berlusconi is understandably annoyed. So are the Americans, who detect a calculated snub to one of their...

Upsize The Army NY Post May 25, 2004 Is America's military strength stretched too thin for its obligations? It sure looks that way. Last week, the U.S. Army announced it will for the first time move troops from South Korea to Iraq: The 2d Infantry Division, based near the DMZ, will be sending a 3,600-man brigade. More to follow, no doubt. Gen. John Abizaid, the top U.S. Mideast commander, said last week that, after the so-called handover of sovereignty on June 30, America may well need more than the 135,000 troops now in Iraq. But, whence the troops? Maybe America's...

"The meeting of the Axis of Evil is called to order," Ernst Stavro Blofeld announced, "and, once again President Jacques Chirac is here as an observer." "We just want to know what the enemy is doing," Chirac said, "so that we might better appease them and know which direction to run in is most cowardly." "We must stop the Americans in Iraq!" Saddam Hussein yelled. "They are very powerful, though. They killed my sons; even I wasn't even able to do that." "If the Americans are made to look as fools in Iraq," Osama bin Laden stated, "Then I can...

The Next Phase of the War Summary Washington is reformulating its war plans in Iraq -- something critics of the Bush administration might view as a sign of weakness. The real weakness lies not in that the United States is shifting strategies, but rather that it has taken so long to make adjustments. However, even with a new strategy, it is unclear whether the United States will succeed. Analysis The United States is in the process of reformulating its war plans in Iraq. Such reformulations are normal in war: Every successful war consists of layers of plans that are adjusted...

THE STRATFOR WEEKLY 29 September 2003 by Dr. George Friedman The Unpredictability of War and Force Structure Summary In the United States' open-ended war against al Qaeda and militant Islam, two factors are driving up requirements for the size of the U.S. military. One is the unpredictability surrounding the number of theaters in which this war will be waged in the next two years, and the second is the type of warfare in which the United States is compelled to engage, which can swallow up huge numbers of troops in defensive operations. However, for several reasons, U.S. defense personnel policies...

Over the past few days the Democrats defense of the Clinton Administration's Defense policy has gotten more and more outrageous.First they called out the senior leadership to repudiate reports that two full Army divisions were not fit for combat, now they've brought out the political flacks to demonstrate their own ignorance.Tonight on Hardball Condeleeza Rice appeared and Matthews asked her about George W. Bush's claim that the services are not combat ready (duh). I was unimpressed by Rice's answers-as she seemed poorly informed of the real problems facing the Clinton-era military.Sen. Carl Levin was then brought out to give the ...
