Your old enough to be an instructor in International Humanitarian Rights but your not old enough to serve your country?
-
Jesus christ, your asking some fucked up people then. Because 95% of servicemen don't think that way.

Sarcasm correct? I hope it's just because my sarcasm detectors are off.

Oh really? Since when did the Taliban or Al-Qaeda care about the Geneva convention? Doubt that was in Al-Qaeda's mindset when they beheaded a man in front of a camera. As far as American and NATO treatment of POW's I don't get where your going. We have some of the nicest facilities for detaining terrorists, Gitmo is a facility that has a non-government employee to make sure the prisoners are being treated right. This war or "military operation" as you so eloquently put it is restoring order to a failed state, Afghanistan. Tell that to a soldier, marine, airmen or sailor. "pissing around in some countries nobodys ever heard of." Tell that to an Afghan civilian. Your ignorance is simply astounding. Pointless and unlawful? I guess we should just leave the middle east to create a giant clusterfuck like most of Africa is. Do you even know anything about those people "throwing their life away at the most pointless and unlawful conflict in history."? My uncle was there in Fallujah in 2005, less than a year after we launched Phantom Fury, a operation to take back the essentially insurgent run city. My uncle says he was slapped by a woman when he was there, but you know what, that isn't what he remember most about when he was there. He told me the things he remembers most were the kids without a real school or education system, the non-existent police force, and the violence of the insurgency. My cousin, nearly killed by an IED in I believe 2006, thinks the war in Iraq is just. His job was to clear IEDs off roads and destroy caches of weapons. He put his life in jeopardy just about everyday he left the wire and he believe that when he left Iraq was taking baby steps in the right direction. Maybe if we didn't let greedy black suits run our military affairs and instead let men that have put their lives on the line and fired a weapon in charge we would be better off.As for Afghanistan, I'm glad that Obama is starting to shift troops there. The Taliban are feared by Afghan civilians, even the Pashtun fear them. Afghanistan is a war our military knows how to fight, Iraq was completely alien to us. We learned from it and we can apply our new and old skills to the war in Afghanistan. Next time a plane hits us and kills thousands we will be sure to ignore it.

I'm aware of what is supposed to be legal, I was just trying to make a point about the war. Besides, didn't the UN approve the invasion of Afghanistan?
-
We are not going to be out of Afghanistan by 2011, unless support for the war hits an all time low and Obama starts getting nervous about re-election. We are going to be there probably until 2013 with a significant troop presence. However, I'm worried about how the media and the Dems will feel, this war will be tough. The Taliban are not 18 year olds from Syria and Saudi Arabia looking to plant some bombs on roads. They are fighters with experience fighting the dominant fighting force, but we are a military that knows how to fight an army that fights face to face instead of via a cell phone on an IED frequency.

The ATF raids a known drug front.

So what is legal? Mass murdering Kurds? Hitting a building with two jumbo jets? Running a government in Afghanistan that is completely tyrannical? Your so right, we should of just watched the world destroy itself.

Your in middle school...

Sexy time on Christmas? Now that's a Merry Christmas!

I drive a Chevrolet Movie Theater.

I'm a High School student that god-willing will go to the Naval Academy so I can become a commissioned officer in the United States Marines. Right now on the side I volunteer at the library, boring but I'm trying to get some volunteer hours and the library is closest.

There's a 2010 now? Damn, I got 2007.

If your so convinced that anything is possible than why don't you do all the work instead of asking others to do it for you so you can reap the benefits.

Brosef, the suggestions topic is closed. Don't make suggestions, if you really want to get it done than do it yourself. Anyways, I belive Hoppah has mentioned that he may try to add the script to the bike or maybe he said he won't. I don't know but a new topic to make suggestions isn't necessary.

Looks so small. Meh, I don't really like it.

Do FDNY Paramedics really wear bulletproof vests?

Honestly, I really enjoyed Empire TW, more so than Medieval 2.

An area known for it's prostitution is raided by officers. The team debriefs after sending two prostitutes to the County lock up on charges of soliciting prostitution and sent their pimp to the County Jail on drug possession charges. the others were set free because of insubstantial evidence.

Wouldn't it be relatively simple to do?

Will there be any unit specific events or missions or is this strictly a unit only mod?

Oh, I was thinking of an actual job. But that is a pretty cool way to earn money or just get some experience.

I thought you were in like Middle School?
