Another Soldier Refuses Afghanistan Deployment

My friend this is true. Lets not forget how our previous President deccided to fund this a war and the reconstruction of Iraq. We can blame the President for so much. Yet when bush took office after Clinton. We had money and Jobs. Yet now again we have another democrat trying to fix the mess of a replubican that 8 years to destroy the economy. Yet the people expect Obama to fix it in one year. As far as this soldier goes. He volunteered to join the army. If he didn't want to go. He shouldn't have joined the army  (2 hrs ago | post #1160)

Talk trash about a president left to clean the ruins of a previous one. Did 8years of our life just disappear. Did you forget how bush just sat on vacation wow the U.S went threw hell. From 9/11 to Katrina our last President spent most of his time on Vacation. Yeah Obama stops with all the secrets and lies and tells you how it really is. The war in Afghanistan is still Bush's baby. Obama wants to end it. So instead of blaming the wrong people. Try again. Dick and Bush. 8 years of hell left to fix by Obama. If you know what to do put your bid in.  (20 hrs ago | post #1154)

I still see people talk about this guy as if he didn't sign a contract volunteerly to do as the president told him to. So he should get to experience life behind bars until his contract is up. He doesn't want to fight this war. He can fight bubba.  (Friday | post #1149)

Obamas to attend today's Fort Hood memorial service (9:11 a.m.)

My question is. Where was all this hostility when GW. Was ripping America appart. Obama has been working on Fixxing bushes crap since before he took office. Not Like the previous one who spent more time on Vacation or at the ranch then actually working. The only thing I am mad about is that the Army knew about this guy before anything happened and did nothing.  (Tuesday Nov 10 | post #10)

I seeing alot of conspiracy theory which has nothing to do with the fact. That this man not wanting to go Afghanistan. There are other blogs for the conspiracy. Whether or not it was right or wrong. The young man signed is life to the Unites States Military. It is his dut to what the President and the Officers above tell him to. He may be human but he volunteered to do this. Now had he went to Afghan. and came back and got out then we wouldn't have to see trial. Yet all the conspiracy theory in the world. Doesn't mean squat when it comes to the soldier. Their job is to do as they are told.  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #1115)

Okay lets get the facts straight. For one it's not just the military wives that are cheating on there man. The second alot of these military husbands leave and deploy. The try to get the first piece of of a$$ that smile at them. Now I am not saying all do that but alot do. Another thing is that alot of military marriages are fast. They marry each other long before they get to know each other. Nor do they sit down and talk. Me and my wife talked about the deployments. If we could handle be seperated. So when it happeen it wasn"t a big shock. Last is that it's hard. There is so much you have to take care of on your own and it becomes a bit overwelming. So alot of men and women turn and run away to a less stressful life with the next person. At least that what they think.  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #234)

Honestly people if your not a soldier or you have never been a soldier than. Stop writing on the subject. Soldiers litterally sign their life away to the United States Government. So if the Government say your going to fight this country. Than you have no choice. Now thier was a 2 or 3 year clause within your first 2 or 3 years you can request a discharge as failure to adapt. Yet making E-5 says you adpated and is now a leader of troops. Sorry to say disharge and have him finish the rest of his contract at leaven worth.  (Monday Nov 2 | post #1054)

Anybody who believe that these wars were godly in anyways is pushing the line between sane and insane. This war is about oil. The first things they announce was that they were hoping Sadam don't blow up the oil fields. Not that soldier woul get hit with NBC gas while testing a totally NBC suit. This was weird from the start. Yet as a soldier you signed say you would follow the orders of the president and the officers appointed above. Do your contract and roll. Don't re-enlist and waste people time with the objector crap. Get when contract up because they have a right to consider it a act of treason. Our generalls appointed above us was told by Bush lets go to war. The generals appointed over the army was told get your gear your going to war.  (Oct 27, 2009 | post #1022)

Your still thinking with common since not like the so called currupted government you talk about. Think. Who is going to get it. Not the president. Everybody on his staff will be dealt with before he gets look at. So are you an Employee or an employer  (Oct 25, 2009 | post #1017)

I am sure you were or is a soldier. Yet when you become a soldier you sign a contract saying that if uncle sam or the president your are to deploy to this foreign land and fight. Than there is nothing you can do but do what you are told until you contract is up and get out. I got out because nothing was adding up for one. I agree that this whole situation smell funky but I did my job as a soldier until my contract was up and got out. So the who thing that about what it is and how it not supposed to be is irrelavent until some of real power say. This is unlawful. Yet as a soldier until you are order otherwise you go with you contract. That all the army is. Civilian contractors fighting for their country. When that up then you either reenlist or you get out. If you didn't understand you were signing your life a way to fight for the whims of the people appointed governing body of the United States of america. Then don't join. So we do agree that this war isn't right but he is still wrong.  (Oct 24, 2009 | post #1004)

African-American

Why do black women have problem with me dating white women?

Like most black people you are still blind. For real. You know we are the children of the sons of Noah right. If you want to be technical we are living in insist. I don't know you. Your ancestors could have come to america after slavery. Yet if you are here because your ancestors were slaves then you are a mut just like the rest of america. A part of you like me is African. Yet there are far more cultures than african that is in us. So when your preaching your african ancestory ensure to enlighted people that your ancestory where forced to be americans or were they recently give green cards. Don't hate the truth and don't try to twist the bible to support your wants and needs. The bible wants us to love others as we love ourselves. That also in the bible plain as day. Much love bra.  (Oct 24, 2009 | post #170)

You can come up with all the conspiracy theories you want but the biggest thing that you have to look at about the oath is this. that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice." If that wasn't put in the oath then you fight your point with these theories. Yet he signed a contract to do what the president tells him. The theories don't mean shit.  (Oct 24, 2009 | post #1000)

You know I find it funny. That your still considering your African roots a majority of your history. Yet think of this. The slave master was sleep with the slaves. then when the slaves got free they started sleeping out side of there african roots. Then still to this day you mixed couple pushing out green eyed milk milk chocolate baby's. Hmmmmmmm. The only difference that seperates the people in america is the skin. Some of yall was to meet your ancestors you would probably faint. Now me personally I don't care for interacial relations. God does choose your mate by color. Yet whats best for you. It's when you put restraints on yourself that you stay blind to all the things you could miss out on. All race's are just alike yet they only look at skin to stay devided. Yet think of it. You have people of dark color born outside of Africa. Originated out side of africa. So unless you can directly link yourself to your African backgrounds. Your just as much a mut as everyone else  (Oct 24, 2009 | post #168)
