Probably, acetylcholinesterase reactivators (oximes). Potentially toxic themselves and generally forbidden for testing in humans for obvious reasons (one would have to study how a group of people reacts to nerve gas with and without administration).Originally Posted by DDT
I've got a TV, and I'm not afraid to use it
What about the draft though?
Also, like I was saying they army can recall soldiers for a long time after they are out of the army, i.e. not getting paid anymore. My brother was done with the army and he got a call saying he had to go to war anyway.
They also split up families. On TV they showed a nursing baby being pulled away from its mother so she could go to war. Things like that. And my brother that is just now comming home had been out of the army for years, he is not in shape at all, and who knows how long it had been since he had fired a gun but they sent him anyway in my opinion completely unprepared.
The draft has not been out of the picture since 1971.
As for your brother (Unless I am sorely mistaken)... he had finished his tour of active duty, but not his obligation to the US Army.

Wow. Reminds me a little of Hitler.
lol don't know why but this exchange in particular made me laugh
common! don't bring this subject up. Saddam killed more.Him or the Texan one, there's no difference in their act and invasion is the exact word.
just happy for Biancca
it seems that the way the system works sucks. Looks also like you are selling your soul to the Gov?
i don't have time to argue, but as a stone hearted stateman as I can sometimes be, Irak liberation was initially a good thing. However the guys who carried out the war deserve to get their ass spanked red.
Then they become reservists for an amount of years and the army may order them to be back as active when needed.

You can thank the Femminist Movement for that.

I don't know what to think about femminists. I agree with a lot of things like that women should be independent etc. (says me who has never had a job) but I don't hate all men or anything like that. I guess when you take a good idea to the extreme it gets corrupted.You can thank the Femminist Movement for that.
Уф! I hope all goes well for the both brothers.

And I think we can call this to be hit by the other side of the coin.You can thank the Femminist Movement for that.

Well at least both your brothers are alive, and haven't paid the ultimate sacrifice for what seems to be an increasingly pointless war.

Well put! *clap clap*
"...но, все будет хорошо..."
But they were talking about reinstating it.
I am happy they are both alive. The one in the gulf war said he felt a bullet graze his head. He fired back and then he had to see the guy he shot in the head. He got creadit for hundreds of kills because his unit had to blow up buildings. I guess thats where the nightmares come from.
But at least he is alive.
OK I will stop with the sob stories now.
Tell that to the democratic peoples of Iraq.
Who is this 'they'?
Sources, please.

It is your "democratic peoples" of Iraq who want us out. Not only the insurgents.Tell that to the democratic peoples of Iraq.
My opinion is just the longer we stay, the worse it is going to get. Our presence is not helping the situation, but worsening it. Almost all rebuilding progress has been hampered and sabotaged. At times when our deficit is larger it has every been in the history of US, do we really want to stay in Iraq another 2,5,10 years?
BTW, which "democratic peoples of Iraq" asked us to invade them in the first place?

Exactly! What would the american people say if another country decided to invade the US and help the hundreds and hundreds of homeless dying on the streets, for example. And while they're at it replace the leader because they believe this one is no good.
De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum.
Good point lol. I forgot where I heard that even, I think someone was saying it on tv but I don't remember who.
Well said! One difference is that Americans supposedly have the choice of replacing our own leader if we want to.
My gov't teacher said we have the richest of the rich and also the poorest of the poor. But I wish that could be solved without an invasion please.
I think the bolded portion of your post is very exaggerated. Poor people in America are much better off than poor people in Africa, no matter what the democrats say!
