POPSIs a Bigger Army a Better Army? 1. Lowered standards never helped anyone, look at our political realm or how the system seems to favor the ones who use dishonest means. 2. I am terribly upset over the money and lives used, I've lost many good buddies out there. 3. I never really liked allot of things about "Corporate America" 4. When the army has made up stories like Jessica Lynch, who should stand before a military trial , or the like of Pat Tillman... i would be scared of joining to.. By the way, the Marines met their mark. Very few make it to carry the title Marine. Recruiting isn't the problem for us, its can you keep up with the training and not get washed out?

POPSTroops Find ID Cards of Missing Soliders in Iraq Its upsetting that the army hasn't the leadership and training to help prevent these losses. I am very proud of the Troops, the leadership and training needs to be evaluated for the simple fact that always it seems that there are branches of the U.S. Military that have allot of "trouble" in combat zones. If you go to war, go with the Marines, if your in the rear, go with the Air Force....Better chow!

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. .

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.
