you want people across the world to die for your governments evil foreign policies ?
or are you all just excited about the fact your country can kick some other countries ass in an instant , why bother even using your expendable troops just nuke them ! its not like the UNSC would do anything to america anyways since its a puppet party led by the US and the banks !
Why would anyone want to join an army , its time we as humans taught others not to join the army and actively protested against enlistment.
If we refuse to fight then our governments are screwed !
Stop doing the bidding of a government that doesnt even care about you, your family or anyone they want you to kill !
Its sickening

israel couldn't even beat hezbollah in lebanon, america is still fighting the iraq war and osama is drinking margheritas in cancun. to be fair they're not really looking for osama because if they did kill the man responsible for 9/11 america would have no excuse to be in afghanistan. iran isn't a weakened nation with a demoralized army like iraq and they have advanced weaponry supplied by russia and china. expect israel getting bombed by massive amounts of missiles with dummy warheads to exhaust the patriot missile defence followed by cruise missiles which iran has plenty of. they have been preparing for this for a long time.

If this is really going down its about damn time. If the USA is going to be involved I give much praise to Obama (which up until now has received none from me). No doubt a large scale war would trigger a draft though. Might be just what we need for our "spoiled brat generation".

To be fair US and NATO provided them arms and machinery.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili evidently thought the United States would come to his side militarily if Russian troops pushed him back into Georgia after ordering an attack last Aug. 8 on the breakaway province of South Ossetia. And when his forces were mauled by Russia's counterattack, bitter disappointment turned to anger. Along with Abkhazia, Georgia lost two provinces.
Georgia also had a special relationship with Israel that was mostly under the radar. Georgian Defense Minister Davit Kezerashvili is a former Israeli who moved things along by facilitating Israeli arms sales with U.S. aid. "We are now in a fight against the great Russia," he was quoted as saying, "and our hope is to receive assistance from the White House because Georgia cannot survive on its own."

and does anyone think that McChrystal getting canned today has anything to do with the recent military build up around Iran?
I say this being a 22 year old male. My odds of being involved if such a thing happened are really high. Would I crap myself? Probably. Would it be good for out country? Probably.

And a hardy "AMEN!" to there guy/gal. I do not want to see our young men and women dying in battle, but I do wish the draft would be reinstated. It would do this generation a world of good.
