POPS$19 Billion Spent on Iraqi Forces and NOT ready $19 Billion dollars???? This is just stupid, get some people into the proper positions that will THINK about some of this before it gets out of hand. Meaning, 19 billion is a little to generous to force that don't show up for work, one never knows if they are working for the good guys or bad. Uniforms have been taken along with weapons and nothing is done to prevent this? Just because he is the president doesn't mean that he is above the law or his actions... If enough people start getting involved this nightmare can come to an end.

POPSFollow up on the Orphange in Iraq The public pressure forced the Labor and Social Affairs Minister to speak out — but instead of taking responsibility, he lashed out at the U.S., calling America Iraq's enemy.

POPSMarine PFC Bales, KIA, Proud. You know the story of Jessica Lynch, Pat Tillman? That was an Army propaganda story by the leaders of that unit., Here is another interesting story: it was later reported as a "non hostile accident", funny how all of Iraq at that time was under was under attack ......there are witnesses to the event. To this day the other personnel that received wounds didn't get purple hearts. The OIC of the convoy fudged certain things, to CYA. A brave young man like this didn't get the full Honor his deserves because of the political BS with allot of people in the military. Ever since politicians tried to rule over combat, allot of sorry mistakes have been made at the cost of Americans. The Marine Corps was built on principles long ago set forth by my forefathers, and now you have these "individuals " that try to pretend that they are leaders or know something about war, but the truth of it is : They where scared to go where some of us went by thier command.

POPSThe Golden Mosque, Iraq's Holiest Shrine under fire Its sad when the warfare affects religious areas. There where quite a few times that the enemy stored weapons and fought from areas such as this. We had to be very careful as to not destroy anything. Cowards, hiding within schools,hospitals and religious buildings because they knew that certain rules covered those buildings. Then, they (enemy combatants) would go on to tell the rest of the world American troops where destroying all of their religious symbols.

POPSVets Back Man in Trouble Over Protest Says it all: "Someone in the Marine Corps needs to exercise a little common sense" Well I totaly agree, but there are not many ones that are willing to exercise that because they lost most of their own in boot camp. We aren't called Devil Dogs for the fun of it folks, I am offend myself that he did this to the uniforms, but it is his right to do so.

POPSMarine vet faces hearing for wearing uniform at protest One : Be supportive of the troops, they follow orders. Two: A real Marine would not disgrace his own uniforms this way, to much pride wearing those things. Three: (this one is funny) He is a RESERVIST, meaning never had the AD lifestyle 4: He is in a catch 22 of sorts, saying that he doesn't have free speech the uniform's are apart of a socialist/military sector, but yet he is apart of it! 5: He is a TURD 6: He has the right to voice what he wants, if he is still a reservist he still falls under certain USMJ guide lines. 7: This is sad to see how many people are divided on this issue, get the war over with and bring the troops home. Where is the UN? I thought this would be the job of a "peace keeping" force. .

POPSBush Declassifies al-Qaida's U.S. Attack Plans I am willing to bet that if the terrorists and the terror cells knew that no matter how or what they did (planning etc), that we would find out and hunt them down, that just maybe they might think twice before pulling stupid stunts. Its kind of like gun control, if you take the guns out of the hands of responsible citizens, then only the criminals would own guns giving them a defined advantage over anyone else. But if they (criminals) didn't know who was armed and who wasn't, it gives them a little bit more time to pause and reflect before they (bad guys) do something dumb...

POPSGreat Information for Females in combat roles
this might offend some people, but there are reasons why women can not be in a combative role, supportive roles yes, but not directly in combat situations. Just look at the army and Jessica Lynch....Then the tragic case of Pat Tillman, does our country or our troops need anymore of that kind of that "bad press"? We need to support the real military men and women that are really doing the right things abroad and in country. Most of the time, Marines like the female corpsman because it gives them a chance to take things "slower" as one could say... Later in the article, it states she was the corpsman support for combat missions. There isn't the question of if she can do it or not, its a statement of physical capabilities proved by science and simple biology. Don't misunderstand this either, I have tremendous respect for Corpsman, if it wasn't for them, many Marines would not have a chance.
