No Military In Iraq=Threat to AMERICA!

Yesterday, President Bush spoke to an Ohio high school about how the military should stay in Iraq. The main reason that he said that we should stay in Iraq is to keep America safe from another terrorist attack. He stated that if we left, the radicals and extremists would take the nation and it would result with long-term problems for us. I think that what he is saying is a load of bull****, there is no other way of putting it. With all of these statements being said by this man, we can see why the Democrats in the House of Reps. and the Senate approved legislation for the withdrawal of the troops. I agree with the Democrats and we should not trade blood for dirty oil.

Where's the MONEY!

The good old president of these United States met with the democrats of this country to discuss on how to fund for the weapons and other resources that the soldiers in Iraq need. As you may know, many democrats oppose the war in Iraq because it is killing many of our neighbors who are sacrificing their live out there in the war. But President Bush is trying his hardest to get the money he needs to keep the soldiers out there so they can get in precious oil. He said “I've got my own opinion, which I am more than willing to share. The whole objective is to figure out how best to get our troops funded, get the money they need to do the job that I have asked them to do." So who knows if he will get the money he needs, or maybe fund the army himself. But one thing is for sure, we will not be seeing our soldiers back anytime soon.

Getting Mad at High School Recuirters

Many PTA meeting nation-wide are all about how they want to make their school a better learning enviroment for all of thier kids, to try to get a good word around their communities. But a recent meeting has just touched on a topic that has not been touched before, military recuirment. In Garfield High School, the PTA is opposing the army and why they are in the students living enviroment. "The mission of the PTA is to protect and defend kids," says Amy Hagopian, a mother of three whose son is a Garfield senior. She wants them to learn about wars that happened in history, not to become part of that history, dying in the battlefields like the Americans that fought in Vietnam.

Something Wrong with the Army, Mr. President?

With many hopes that our troops will come home soon, many people, such as President Bush are saying that we should not take our troops out of Iraq and should keep them there until will win the war. They say that Congress will pass a clean bill that would raise funds for the Army and keep them win new weapons and other supplies needed to stay out there. Bush wants this win for all the oil he can swim in, in my opinion. I believe we need to get these troops out of there before they get killed by the cars bombs and other suicide killing that are killing innocent people.

What....No One Wants to Join ANYMORE?

Mostly young America is starting to realize how dangerous and life-threatening the army can be and they are not joining the army anymore. But the army analysts are showing that the army recruitment numbers are it's lowest in about 30 years ago. Since the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the army is suggesting to try to get as much as 50,000 more recruits because they need more help out there, even though they already have 1 million out there. They tried to reach a goal this year of about 80,000 fresh meat to get out there and fight, but they failed they goal and only got 73,000, a huge gap for they slaughter that is going on in the Middle East. Maybe soon, the army might suggest a draft to get new meat for the war…maybe…

Joining to Get Citizenship?

Many military officials are now saying that they are not succeeding with the military recruitments here in America. So what is next, military recruitment overseas?
The U.S Armed Forces have been taken into consideration of the possible recruitment of foreign soldiers from other countries to make that the army bigger. The ways they are going to lure them in are by offering them U.S. citizenship. They considered putting military recruitment stations in many foreign countries, but not really doing it yet. If these stations are opened, the Pentagon would be in a lot of harsh because they are supposed to be the defendants of this country, and now they need help.
Personally, I think this is one of the sickest things that the U.S. Army will do, if it is done. They will now try to kill foreign soldiers, trying to make their “American Dream” come true (if they decide to make it come true.) These foreign people would think that by joining, they wouldn’t have to endure that long hours of trying to cross Rio Grande, or be chased into Miami Bay, just to come to work harsh hours, getting paid half then minimum pay. If they are to do this, I will strongly oppose.

The Army is in your GAME CONTROLLER!!!

The Army is the ultimate when it comes in trying to get all of young America to get into the army, even if they are 9 or 10 year old little kids who play video games. Yes, video games. The army is trying all fronts to get army soldiers, even on your computer screens. The U.S. Army has released a free online game called America's Army. They have been testing is game out for years now, showing real life army guns and maps, showing that the enemies are always in black attire, to influence them to get into the battle lines . They have many maps looking like the battlefronts of Iraq and other foreign enemy territories. I have been guilty of playing these games, but I'm one of the lucky ones who has not been influenced to get into the army because I'm want to one of the soldiers in the game. But unfortunately many little kids play this game and have been influenced to join in the "fun". What is the next influence for the army’s recruiters, our food?
