2011-10-13 [Imperator]: "Support our Soldiers"? The US and UK are engaged in an economic occupation of the Middle East to benefit the military-industrial complex. No offense to military members who are being used by our corrupt governments but maybe we should "Support the Victims" instead. Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman if you'd like to understand the nature of this so-called War on Terror.

2011-10-14 [kians mummy]: Thanks, [Nioniel], I will do that right away.

[Imperator], Thanks for your input, but As matty's (my fiance) family are mostly all in the forces I have created all this.

2011-10-15 [Susie-Q]: I currently serve in the national guard as a generator technician. My main purpose in the military is to protect my country and its people from the threat of other countries and to provide support to our citizens during times of crisis such as natural disasters. Just becuase im a soldier doesnt mean im a war mongering blood thirsty dog. I serve by the words of Sun Tzu. "if you long for peace you must prepare for war". Thats what my service mrans to me, regardless of what anyone else has to say about it.

2011-10-15 [Imperator]: I'm not calling service members "war mongering blood thirsty dogs," I'm calling the corrupt politicians that have sent service members into countries on the pretense of lies that. Afghanistan? The Taliban said they would turn over Osama if we provided proof he was involved in planning 9/11. Iraq? There were no WMDs. Libya? Yemen? Pakistan? Somalia? Uganda? How many countries half a world away does the US have to invade to "protect our freedoms"?

2011-10-15 [Susie-Q]: Regardless of what the gov't sends me to do or claims im being sent to do, i am fighting for my own reasons. Im fighting for many things. Every american citizen deserves to freely be who they are and express it openly without fear.  I serve those who dont have the abiltiy to speak for themsleves. If i have to give my life for that cause i can accept that. My friends know to let it be known what i died fighting for. I promote acceptence at my unit and among any other military personel that i come in contact with. That is true patriatism right there. If you have an issue with the gov't and the way they are doing things, fine, but dont you fucking dare stand against so many brave and decent men and women who fight and die for their beliefs. You dont have to agree with the gov't to be and outstanding military service indiviual

2011-10-15 [Imperator]: I guess I can repeat that I'm not slandering military service members but rather questioning the corrupt slime-bags who are deciding where they should deploy to while lying to them about the reasons. Do you take offense to being lied to by the government? Or just take offense to people who express indignation at the wars we're fighting?

2011-10-16 [Susie-Q]: You dont get it. You seem to think that all military personel are retarded as fuck. You think we dont know the gov't is screwing up? You think we dont't understand that this war is bullshit? Do you really think that we, the army, navy, airforce, and marines, want to go to some foreign country to fight against people that we are well aware simply just dont want us there, and put our lives on the line for doing so? Fuck you. You dont know a god damn thing about this shit. I serve my country in any way i can. On and off duty. I dont agree with the gov't choices as much as the next person. You should join and learn what the fuck it means to actually be a member of the military services. Generals of the fucking branches dont like the shit that politics is doing to them. We fight fo our own fucking reasons. Ive never met a person who wants to fight and willing to die because they agree with the gov't. So fuck you, you dont know a god damn fucking thing. This page is no place for your shit. Ive seen my friends die for their beliefss and not for politics. So once again, fuck you.

2011-10-16 [Imperator]: :O

2011-10-16 [American Revolutionary]: [Susie Q] no crap? im doing my boot camp in p.a. as a mechanic for the m1a1 abrahms tank, what a hoolykoo aint it? glad to meet a sister in arms, god bless you

2011-10-17 [Susie-Q]: Good luck witu basic  Keep your head up and listen to what youre told. Youll be just fine amd you'll learn alot about yourself. You wont like it much while youre there. But once you graduate you'll realize you had a great time. Take care of yourself

2011-10-17 [American Revolutionary]: thanks =] im doing ok...sometimes im stressed out, other times im ok..the usual

2011-10-18 [Susie-Q]: Yeah. A day in the life.

2011-10-18 [American Revolutionary]: yep =] but all in all its alot of fun

2011-10-18 [Susie-Q]: Its a good experience.

2011-10-18 [Diiwica]: Seems like something like an USO. Great idea. :)

2011-10-18 [American Revolutionary]: i never plan on going overseas, i dont have the guts nor the nerve for it, so i went national gaurd =]

2011-10-19 [XxTsomexX]: My fiance is in Afghanistan.

2011-10-19 [American Revolutionary]: god bless him

2011-10-19 [Susie-Q]: How many years are you in for? If youre guard, odds are you'll deploy

2011-10-20 [American Revolutionary]: im in for four years

2011-10-20 [Diiwica]: Oh, wow Tsome so is my hubby.

2011-10-20 [American Revolutionary]: awesome..im kinda nervous if i do get deployed

2011-10-20 [XxTsomexX]: Yeah D:

2011-10-21 [Susie-Q]: Youll be fine. Youre maintanence. Theyll want to keep you alive

2011-10-21 [American Revolutionary]: heh thanks....

2011-10-22 [Susie-Q]: You may go out on patrol and what not. But odds are you'll come out alright. You'll be in the motor pool wishing you had something to do lol

2011-10-24 [American Revolutionary]: lol most likely...thanks for the up and up suzy, that means alot, keep your head down and watch your back out there

2011-10-24 [Susie-Q]: Always. So youre currently at your AIT training right now? Do i have that right?

2011-10-24 [American Revolutionary]: yes, i got to test a variety of weapons, my favorite, even though im a grease monkey, is the m14, idk why but i love it

2011-10-25 [Susie-Q]: Im fond of the M4. Its practical for people with a small frame like myself.

2011-10-25 [American Revolutionary]: indeed it is, im short and stocky, kinda like a grizzly bear cub, so of course i take to something with a little more power

2011-10-25 [Susie-Q]: Im not particularly short. But im slender. Its light and compact. Easy to use also

2011-10-26 [American Revolutionary]: exactly

2011-10-27 [Susie-Q]: I had intended to be a tank mechanic but i chose generator tech instead. Figured it would be something practical i could do after i was out

2011-10-27 [American Revolutionary]: yeah, seems reasonable, i was gonna be a heli mechanic, but i chose tanks instead

2011-10-27 [Susie-Q]: Disel. Still a good field. Cant really say much for the cannon though lol

2011-10-28 [American Revolutionary]: thats the fun part, kinda nerve wracking when your lookin down the barrel to see what the hells wrong, you think "hope its not loaded" lol

2011-10-28 [Susie-Q]: I play with electricity. It can be pretty tense when you've got to make adjustments while a gen is running

2011-10-30 [American Revolutionary]: yeah it can be, i fixed one that was still loaded..hehhehe..scared the fuck outta me

2011-10-31 [Susie-Q]: I know how that is. I had a bad jam on one of the weapons i was using one time. The bolt wouldnt stay locked back for me to get the round out and the round itself had somehow gotten lodged in the chamber crooked. If that firing pin had of gone forward while i tried getting that round out i could probably have lost a finger or two. I got it out but it wasnt easy. Worst jam ive ever had.

2011-11-01 [American Revolutionary]: im talkin a tank, suzy, the barrel was bent and there was still a round in it, if it woulda fired id be a dead man

2011-11-02 [Susie-Q]: I know what you were talking about. I was talking about a similar experience. Though not as volatile

2011-11-03 [American Revolutionary]: good god it sends heebee geebees down my back thinkin of it still, whoaaaaa... i had to take a personal day, my aunt died a couple hours ago

2011-11-03 [Susie-Q]: I so sorry to hear that. I recently found out that one of my friends from early on in high school turned into a coke head and is now "employed" as an escort. It shocked me to find out. She seemed so together last time i saw her

2011-11-03 [American Revolutionary]: yeah, my uncle is a recovering addict, my moms brother, me and him are really close

2011-11-18 [Susie-Q]: I was with my unit for that weekend doing some weapons training

2011-12-03 [Mortified Penguin]: You know there are tons of other wikis dedicated to supporting soldiers, right?

2011-12-03 [Susie-Q]: I dont doubt it

2012-05-25 [American Revolutionary]: thank you to all who served, and are currently serving (me, susie-q) and let us remember those who gave thier all to defend our country

2012-05-25 [kians mummy]: To right hun x

2012-05-26 [Fearathress]: I am an army brat to two retired service memebers; Soldier and Marine.

2012-05-26 [XxTsomexX]: My [Koho Ai] is currently in the army.

2012-05-30 [kians mummy]: Cool, you should put your name above. :)

2012-05-30 [American Revolutionary]: i finally got my cert as a tank mechanic!!! awesomeness!!!

2012-06-01 [kians mummy]: Good for you x

2012-06-01 [American Revolutionary]: ^_^

2012-06-02 [kians mummy]: We need more fans

2012-06-18 [Koho Ai]: You should locate a local FRG group for soldiers if you want to get more information on supporting soldiers.

2012-06-29 [kians mummy]: true x

2012-09-23 [The Black Goat]: Just for soldiers, no airman allowed? ;)

2012-09-23 [Diiwica]: Generally the term soldiers is used as a broad term used for all service members.

2012-09-23 [The Black Goat]: we usually just say armed forces if including the other branches

2012-09-23 [kians mummy]: But not all forces are armed, nor are all soldiers, so soldiers is the better term

2012-09-23 [The Crimsonwolf of the Hidden Leaf]: thats true my father was in the army reserves as a drill sargent and had to retire last year

2012-09-24 [Susie-Q]: We're referred to as the armed forces because no matter what your position n the military you are trained to fire weapons and neutralize the threat. Defense through armed combat. The general term if you prefer based on that many military personal don't usually carry or operate weaponry would simply be the military.

2012-09-28 [The Black Goat]: That works too

2012-09-28 [Susie-Q]: Soldiers is a term primarily used by th army though is commonly used for marines which are simply referred too as marines, airmen for the air force and sailors for the navy. Any further into the branches and it starts getting alot more specific, like infantry, cavalry, pilots, engineers, ordinance and so on. military is Hella simpler

2012-10-10 [American Revolutionary]: this is true susie

2012-10-14 [Susie-Q]: Or you could just say service men/women if you really want to avoid promoting any one branch over any others

2013-05-09 [Vessel_4_Christ]: may I join this wiki? and if its possible the banner on my profile if there is one? Please? Thanks. :)

2013-05-10 [kians mummy]: Yes, I will add you when I can and you have permission to use the banner shown above. :)

2013-05-10 [Susie-Q]: Deploying 2015! Afghanistan or bust. Or Africa, or maybe Texas for border patrol. Who knows. But still. Deployment hoo-ah!

2013-05-11 [kians mummy]: My friend is going to Africa (Mala), with the french royal legion soon to fight a terrorist group.

So scared if something will happen to him.

2013-05-12 [Susie-Q]: We're likely going to Afghanistan, but the fall back is a humanitarian mission to Africa
