I want to be able to read it properly. This brown background is just pathetic, too hard to read the white text. Anyway, I have 5 son's, 2 daughters. Do not make my family laugh at the $20,000 proposal. I have 3 son's that want to join up, but I told them, they would never be in my will if they did. I have convinced them that a $200,000 signing proposal would be the right figure. This is our Magnitude. Reasons given is that the training provided is pathetic. My son's are not going to war with some nut beside them who wants to rape women and kill innocent people. This shows me that the training needs training. It takes more than a year to train the right soldier. It takes about the same time to train a baby out of diapers. If you can sit there and tell me that your training is perfect, well I will tell you that you are liar’s. Who was the Masterful Magnificent trainer who trained guy’s like Steven D. Green, Paul E. Cortez, James P. Barker, Jesse V. Spielman, Bryan L. Howard, Anthony W. Yribe, and the pricks of the Hamdania Incident, etc, etc. The trainers should be made to go down with all these flukes. How many other flukes are in the U.S. of A. for Asswhole Army anyway. You have made a mockery of Easy Company 101st Airborne. I have seen The Band Of Brothers at least 8 times. How many Herbert Sobel’s and Norman Dike’s have you got signed up. I would want my son’s around guy’s like Richard Winters, Donald Malarkey, Denver Randleman and Bill Guarnere, not idiots signing up for a horror movie. Oh yes , the movie tells me so, “REDACTED”, it looks to me that the training is going on at the same time the war is going on. Why did Angel Salazar get himself BLOWN UP, because he had to train an idiot who shouldn’t have been there in the first place. You are not ever going to put one of my son’s in a trophy case because some inadequate freak doesn't give a Damn. If there ever is a draft, Canada, here we come. I hear they train up there, “the Right stuff”. I Support My Troopers, not the F......Bloopers! A great Website for information, but who designed it, an idiot. I want to be able to read it properly.

This war in Irac is more necessary than the American people realize. Its like we have a bunch of ostriches burying their heads in the sand and hoping the enemy just goes away. 911 is long forgottrn by some and by a lot of other Americans that say we deserved it. Tell that to the families who lost loved ones' on 911. We have many left wing nuts in this country that really believe this. Yes there was no WMD but when Saddam Hussein was interviewed after his capture he had every intention of starting up the program again. So whether it be Alkyda or any other terrorist group or country that support terrorism and want to harm America we should all be in this fight together as Americans but saddly enough that's not the case. Many politicos on the left wing are saying we should use more diplomacy. All I can say is -- WAKE UP, THEY WANT TO KILL US and no amount of diplomacy with these terrorist will change their fanatical way of life. These terrorist have been brain washed as small children to truly believe this garbage. Have you seen pictures of them as children bobbing their heads in unison repetitiously reading the Koran. Brain washing 101. I am not saying what is written in the Koran is wrong but interpreted wrong and this hatred is drummed in by their fanatical mullahs' and is devistating on a childs mind and thus devistating for all freedom loving people. We are in this fight for a long time to come I am sorry to say. What will be the human toll of not only American lives lost but from other freedom loving nations as well?

country.

The public would be shocked to know how many vets are committing suicide when returning. There's a sign on post how many days it's been since a soldier was "lost" due to ends like vehicular suicide. I have picked up two friends returning from Iraq, and it was immediately apparent they were severely disturbed after the travel sedation wore off. After a few drinks on homecoming night, one of them relayed to me the source of his disturbance. Nothing I have seen in any movies or media relays the horror of what he had done and would have to live with the rest of his life. A few days later I looked into treatment options for him as he was only a few miles from one of the top post hospitals in the country. However, since at that time I believe that he was only entitled to 7-10 days treatment, it seemed pointless, and as he was afraid it would go in his file, deny him promotion, and so refused to seek treatment. I didn't know what else to do except visit when possible. He was definitely suicidal. The picture is not all bleak though; recently Tricare has started acknowlodging PTSD, and when I had my own experience with it, the ARMY PTSD Training Pack really helped me keep my sanity. This online video helped me know what to expect with a diagnosis of MBI/PTSD. The public needs to be made much more aware of what a serious problem these brave people are facing and we in the medical fields must develop better family education and patient support systems for returning vets, and estimated 1 in 3 will need treatment. That's alot. These studies also will help the general public, as the area of neurology is in it's infancy in terms of what happens when the brain receives a concussive blow. These studies would benefit civilian MVA patients greatly. It's all about education and access to help that doesn't bring a penalty to the one seeking to be healed.

I did not see this movie but will watch when it is released on DVD In Minnesota one of the local VFW clubs had a major fund raiser to help the homeless vets in and nera St. Cloud Mn. About 100 of them living under bridges near St. Cloud Vets Hosp. So many suffering from mental illness, anxiety and depression. Would this have happened if they had not been to Iraq? I guess we will never know. Thank you for your website. I guess my concern is more about the highly payed civilian Solders of Fortune,who seem to be free from prosecution.

Since his discharge 4 years ago, they have tried to recruit him again..he laughs at them when they call.

However, don't confuse the war on terror with being stuckk in a war we shouldn't have started. I think the best way to support the troops is to get them home safely and quickly. Good luck and Happy New Year.

If you figure that you're going to get deployed once or twice every four years anyway, the only reason I can imagine not to go for this program if you're enlisting is that you think things may end in the next few months. At this point in the war, I have to think that $20,000 tax-free is a pretty decent enticement. Too bad I won't be eligible. $20k is a chunk of change.
