Where's the oil? "These wars" were not started over oil. If they were, we'd have oil pouring out our fucking ears. The war in Afghanistan was a direct result of the 9/11 attacks. American's doing the world a favor by taking care of that piece of shit country. The war in Iraq was about neo-conservative nonsense,turning the region into a pro-US democratic mini west and all that horseshit. I wish the Iraq war was about oil. That's clarity of thought I can get behind. Go in there take their shit and get out. That is why you start wars.Sizzle Montyjing said:

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. War however is human nature. To not have war is to be inhuman. If oil was on the minds of the Bush admin then they did an awful job at getting it. Then again, it was the Bush admin after all. I personally believe they had more asinine intentions than oil. Libya is something everyone should have stayed out of. Either evade the damn place and do as you please, or leave them alone. Sanctions, air strikes and all that nonsense accomplishes nothing. This is why NATO is a joke.Sizzle Montyjing said:
Greed, Anger and Hatred are all in human nature, however war is just a bi-product of that, and isn't neccesarily part of human nature.TorqueConverter said:
They used to recruit for 1-2 years military service all around europe lolGuffe said:It's kind of hard not to for me. I live in Finland and every male (unless you have some disease that stops you from joining) must join the army for a minimum of six months to learn the basic military combat stuff. Every half year (January and July) new reqruits get in and half of them will be there for 6 months while the other half will be there for 1 year (they become "under sergeanter" which I believe is called Last Corporal (not sure spelling is correct) in the US) and they get the training of a group-chief. I have been there for 10 months and got promoted to Sergeant a few weeks ago.Sharkeyes said:
So basically a bit under two months left and I applied for a 6 month job there so I can get some money before I go of studying (not going to go to the military academy).
And my main weapon is the Mortars!
There you go, I hope you learned something today
Because aggrevating people with a compleatly diffrent culture and quite a bit of them ready to suicide bomb and terrorise Western Europe and the USA is a good idea amarite?TorqueConverter said:
I agree with you, don't respect the job so much as I do the soldiers. I know far more often than not there's a shit load of them who don't deserve the respect they receive because of their chosen vocation. In the same breath, there is also heaps of them to receive more grief than they should for their chosen job.The_Emperor said:

No, it's essentially nothing like the ARA, don't let anyone tell you any different.BryceS62 said:
To be honest, even if I were one of the females who was up to the role of being part of the infantry, I wouldn't want to join it. It's a huge boys club, more than most people can understand I think. It's not going to change just because women are allowed to join. Regardless of how I feel about the matter, that's the way things are.Vault101 said:
Possibly in the US. Currently, the UK gets about 2% of it's oil form the middle east. 75% of it comes from Norway, and we pipe a good lot of it purselves. The US gets much more oil from Saudi Arabia, almost a million barrels a day.Sizzle Montyjing said:
