Good points from all.  I am not on a Jeremy Hinsmen defense crusade here.  I didn't know he served in a kitchen.... on the other hand I don't know how that matters. I agree that he doesn't have much of a legal leg left to stand on.  But morally I believe there is an assumption here that this is...

I believe this guys whole case was that the war in Iraq was illegal.  Now, I understand he lost that case but that was his argument.  Did he truly believe that or was it just a belief of convienience so he didn't have to serve.  I think it would presumptuous either way to say any of us knew what...

Easy there fella!  I am sensing alot of hostility.  No need to get your nickers in a knot.  This is just a civil exchange of opinions here. You posted the answer a page or two back?  Well I am glad you have the answers.  For your information I have no problems with anyone's opinions on this...

You disagree?? :o  lol As far as the Africa thing being beaten to death,  you'll have to excuse me but I haven't been through every thread on this forum.    I cannot believe that both the Afganistan campaign and Iraq campaign are both 100% value driven.  Although there are not 100% corrupt...

Well at least we agree that they do what is in their interst. If you've done the research I'd appreciate if you would enlighten me as to exactly why a stable middle east is in the US  interest.  If not for oil then what?  Freedom and Democracy?  Okay.  But why?  How does the plight of Joe Q...

Disagree100% Motive alone does not determine right and wrong!  How you achieve your motive is as much a factor.  Is it really that easy to ditinguish good motives and bad motives? If as you say the US is in Iraq for entirely altruistic goals of building democracy defeating evil why are they...

I started in the army reserve as an infanteer and like you, at first, I did not like it.  I gave it a while though( 4 yrs) and grew to love it.  I went Reg F as an armoured crewman and did that for 9 yrs and am now in the Airforce as an Aesop (about 2 yrs).  Just curious, how long have you been...

Gunner98, I think your attitude of " suck it up and stop whining - this is what you should expect of the military " ( I am of course paraphrasing you, but that appears to be the tone of your post) is out of line.  Just because it happened to you and you bent over and took it doesn't mean he...

Grade 12 calculus to become a combat engineer ?  Just curious where you heard this.  I'm not saying you're wrong, it just doesn't sound right to me.  Are you talking MOC 041 or Engineer officer?

7-10 Days, I think I know what you are referring to.   If your wife didn't earn any income, or very little income,   you can claim what would have been her base amount that you can earn tax free.   It's called the Equivalent to Spouse claim.   That is, you earn your first $7500 (approx)   tax...
