gamavor Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Don't worry Anon! As a good friend I will be sending you cigarettes and I may volunteer knitting woolen socks and gloves. Oops, sorry you might not need them because in Iraq is summer time all year long. Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. PS: This one is for Arpa.

bellthecat Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Could have been something for April 1st! Conscript armies have had their day. But I've found it amusing that some American reporters refer to the US army as a "volunteer army". I don't thing any soldier actually volunteered to go to Iraq, and I don't thing anyone who didn't want to go to Iraq could volunteer to go somewhere else instead! They are a professional army with career soldiers, not a volunteer army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghos Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I think "volunteer army" means that soldiers are not compulsory drafted into military service. Ends up being one of the employment opportunities for "upper lower middle class" (H. Simpson´s definiton) minorities that instead of being paid low wages in services are willing to "fight for freedom". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gevo27 Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 (edited) when i was first showed this my first impression was. "it wont happen",, but.. on second thaught It only affirms the prophecies of the bible which have yet to come.. if you dont know the bible, look at my sig.. and thats said to be from the wars.. am i crazy to think this?? i dont know. things seem to be falling into place quietly and in a manner as to where we cant make the direct connection.. but ofcourse the bible says that also.. LOL.... think about it atheist jans Edited April 13, 2004 by gevo27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
