Is anyone struggling with bi polar disorder? I have not yet been diagnosed but those around me say for sure im bi polar. I recently just scheduled an appointment with a shrink and hopefully meds will be given to me... My homies say my mood swings are out of control and my rage is even worse.
I dont even think there is a word describing my type of anger. I go from thinking happy thoughts one second, then my mind drifts off to someone getting pussy pounded, then to me wanting to kill anyone and everyone. Right now im thinking clearly, but probably in a half an hour i wont even remember writing this thread, and it'll seem as if i am coming down off coke and i must admit, its the worst feeling ever. What i do to ignore my moods rapidly dropping is take it out on others and call them hurtful names, and somehow that makes me feel better. At the age i am right now i know im learning about life an growing but i doubt its normal to be so angry and violent. The thought of me getting worse then hurting people worse than i do now, scares me... I have beaten my older sister and slammed her head against my table and not even knowing it until i see her on the ground crying, i've also choked my friend in one of my classes without even realizing as well.
People please share your thoughts on this subject, if you are a victim of this type of harrassment, or if your bi polar and what you have done to help these irrational thoughts and violence.
That's not bi-polar disorder... bi polar you go manic...(euphoric) for a while then it is follwed by SEVERE depression and it continues as a cycle.
You might have schitzophrenia...

Rumpuncher although you do present some valid points I disagree. The Marines that I know fight for each other not for themselves. You fight amongst your brothers and sisters... I think you have to be a member of the armed forces to understand the whole concept. If you ever visit Borders go to a magazine called Soldier of Fortune or something of that nature. It is filled with stories of how Senior Ncos would shield their younger wounded Marines with their own bodies... you might have also seen the pictures I have posted in the greatest photos thread... These men aren't blood brothers nor do they know each others families but they will sacrafice their lives for their comrades...
Also many of the reserve units that are not from big cities are ranked with people from small towns who know each other as well as each others families. Just like that show on Discovery Time.. off to war or whatever it is called...

Of course, you're correct when you say that this time around a bunch of the people who joined the armed forces did so trying to get money for college, or specialized job training and so on. It's not a bad way to get college money, but it definately is NOT "money for nothing." If you enlist in the armed forces, you can expect to earn your pay.
Bizarrely enough, the one young Marine that I know well (a neighbor's son whose uncle is a decorated Marine POW who served six years in a Vietnamese prison camp) is stationed in Hawaii. He's a helicopter air crewman and mechanic. He spends every afternoon surfing, not dodging bullets and IEDs.
The only soldier I know went to high school and danced in the same ballet school as my daughter. She's 22 and in an airborne infantry unit as a supply specialist. Her unit is going to Iraq, but I'm not sure when. This girl was a slacker after high school, but when she joined the Army she really caught afire. She is every bit as gung-ho as any Marine I ever knew.
The Army National Guard sent a total of 8,728 Guardsmen to Vietnam, according to my search engine. Of those 8,728 men, only 83 were killed. During Vietnam, the National Guard was a good place to be if you wanted to avoid combat service. Rich kids and people who were "connected," like George Bush, could get in.
I knew a number of anarchists who joined the Marine Reserves. The USMC reserves were the ONLY reserve units that had any openings. All of the ANG units were full up with politician's kids, rich kids, people who "knew somebody."
The National Guard is bearing a much, much larger share of the burden in the occupation of Iraq. I don't think the morons down at the Puzzle Palace ever expected the Iraqi opposition to put up this much of a fight, or for this long a period of time. I doubt there will be any more battles like Fallujah. The Baathists and the Islamists learned their lesson well last time. They know better than to stand and fight the Marines again. This war is going to just be endless boobytraps and roadside IED's.
A black woman I work with has a son that enlisted for college money. His LAV was hit by a roadside IED, blown over sideways and set on fire, but none of the men were hurt, not even the gunner in the top hatch. Also, miraculously, none of them suffered any hearing damage either. (It's common for people who have been hit by a large explosion to lose some or all of their hearing.) When she told me about it, she said "They were all covered in the Blood of Jesus, that's why they survived!" I didn't say so, but I was thinking maybe what they were covered in was pure luck. Whatever the reason, they were probably very fortunate that no one was hurt. Sonny boy should have bought a Lotto ticket.
This is a war of inches. You sit 3 inches to the right and you just saved your life... some are lucky, some are not. New plans are in effect to re-route convoy traffic to avoid IED's which will probably work quite well. What I would like to see is Radio Jamming Vehicles in convoys as well as escort by attack helicopters (abushes as well as explosives that need to be set off via wiring-helis with infrared imaging would basically pave the fucking way). If these two things were implemented IED's would be non-existant...
ON luck...There was an Army Stryker that was hit with a car jampacked with 155mm arty shells... flipped the fucking thing over a couple of times, blew off all the armor panneling... consequently none of the soldiers in there suffered any injuries. That's some amazing shit considering that was enough explosives to knock out a tank...

It's kind of hard for me to sympathise with anyone who joined the service to get college benefits and then refuse to fight. And by the way, the reserve benefits are really not worth risking your life for (if the money is all that you're in for). Think about it this way: You know one day you will need to paint your house, so you pay a painter to be ready as soon as your house is... after a while the time comes to paint your house and the painter says "fuck this, I don't want to paint your house". You were paying this guy to be ready for nothing...
As with the active duty guys who are deserting... there always have been pussies and will continue to be. Gee, in the Marine boot camp you scream the words "KILL, KILL, KILL" thousands of times... are they preparing you to shoot rainbows out of your ass? No, your job will be to go to war and kill people. Like I said before, imagine military ranks in WW2 saying "fuck this, I don't believe we should be here because blah blah blah"... anyways, far far far far majority of people in the armed forces understand what they do and they understand that combat is not for politics. You shoot at people cause' if you don't they will shoot at you. Simple as that...

sorry mods for the three posts
There are no contracts... but there are limitations on what you can talk about. Giving out photos, names, and general information about Special Ops personell is illegal due to saftey issues (note to stereotype the military.com account has information I'd rather have you not have... when I report back to duty in 15 days I will take the pictures you requested in my BDUs...). You can't talk about any classified information with people who don't have a security clerance... which basically means you can't talk about any mission detail or location...
-
Yea, so it's been on the news latley that 8000 or so military personell have deserted. Note that teh overall rate of desertion was higher pre- 9/11 than it is after the invasion of Iraq...

No, if the NG units or branch itself would not have an application it would be eliminated and the funding would go somewhere else. Any branch/unit in existance has a job to do... thus they are all useful. Going to Iraq would just be one of the jobs.

whats up with the national guard in america anyway? does it count as a government thing or does each state have its own branch or is it jsut a bunch of deadshits playing soldiers or what?
You're also a retard. The national guard gets deployed to Iraq like any other branch. What is "useless" is your dumbass and your mother for bringing you into this world.

Since you will continue bitching how you're smarter than all of us here you go:
http://www.globalspecialoperations.com/mcsocomdet1.html
"CRITERIA:
The personnel chosen for assignment to this unit will all
have at least five years experience in a Force Recon MOS
with superior efficiency ratings.
TRAINING:
First Phase will be conducted at Camp Pendleton, Ca
The Force Reconnaissance element will receive the Second
Phase which will be conducted by SEAL personnel at the
Naval Special Warfare Center, Coronado, CA After completion
of this phase, this element will be assigned to SOCOM and will
operate in six month tours with SEAL operations.
This unit will be the first Marine Corps unit assigned to the
U. S. Special Operations Command since it was established in
1986."
Take a wild guess what "phase 1" included. Stupid ass.

By all means, prove me wrong, it's easy to do....or maybe you "have nothing to prove" like you said earlier. Which I find funny because you obviously feel the need to garner attention and have something to prove, seeing as in every post you brag about how you are in the military, and pretend you are in every “high speed� unit the MC has to offer via photos stolen from another website, and then explaining how it isn't possible to be in those units at the same time with some half assed contradictory story. (“It’s a photo of me in ang�e�lico, but I am also a force recon marine at the same time somehow, but I did anglico training to get in the socom component, but actually they didn’t let guys try out you had to be selected, and the photos are of me yet I also claim to be the one who took the photos, that just happen to be on the same exact page of a popular website that gets its photos from the AP. And this one time, in band camp, these kids pointed out our position to a mortar team so I shot them and decided to tell complete strangers about it on the internet, because when you kill children that is the normal response.�)
And I know nothing about the military other than what I see in Steven Segal movies. I found that on google.
Then maybe you can google up the information that I gave you... how about doing that? Instead of running your fuckin' mouth about shit you don't know. Google Detachment 1 and see what the selection process was like and how people were prepared for it you stupid fuck, then come on here and tell me i'm feeding you bullshit. Go suck a dick.

Its hilarious how many people claim to be military of some sort, considering the nature of this website. Its not just bob the force recon anglico socom ninja, there is also villain, who was the time to post 4-5 times throughout the day, everyday, while at the same time supposedly being in the 75th. And also never deploying, for some strange reason.

Claim to do what? How many people do you have on here that are in the military?
And once again, what the fuck do you knwo about the 75th or anything else? (besides finding it on google).

Originally posted by lord_casek@Feb 28 2006, 08:46 PMU.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006
  * Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed�
  * While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
  * Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
  * Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
  * Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
  * Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment
An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and nearly one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.
The poll, conducted in conjunction with Le Moyne College’s Center for Peace and Global Studies, showed that 29% of the respondents, serving in various branches of the armed forces, said the U.S. should leave Iraq “immediately,� while another 22% said they should leave in the next six months. Another 21% said troops should be out between six and 12 months, while 23% said they should stay “as long as they are needed.�
Different branches had quite different sentiments on the question, the poll shows. While 89% of reserves and 82% of those in the National Guard said the U.S. should leave Iraq within a year, 58% of Marines think so. Seven in ten of those in the regular Army thought the U.S. should leave Iraq in the next year. Moreover, about three-quarters of those in National Guard and Reserve units favor withdrawal within six months, just 15% of Marines felt that way. About half of those in the regular Army favored withdrawal from Iraq in the next six months.
The troops have drawn different conclusions about fellow citizens back home. Asked why they think some Americans favor rapid U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, 37% of troops serving there said those Americans are unpatriotic, while 20% believe people back home don’t believe a continued occupation will work. Another 16% said they believe those favoring a quick withdrawal do so because they oppose the use of the military in a pre-emptive war, while 15% said they do not believe those Americans understand the need for the U.S. troops in Iraq.
The wide-ranging poll also shows that 58% of those serving in country say the U.S. mission in Iraq is clear in their minds, while 42% said it is either somewhat or very unclear to them, that they have no understanding of it at all, or are unsure. While 85% said the U.S. mission is mainly “to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9-11 attacks,� 77% said they also believe the main or a major reason for the war was “to stop Saddam from protecting al Qaeda in Iraq.�
“Ninety-three percent said that removing weapons of mass destruction is not a reason for U.S. troops being there,� said Pollster John Zogby, President and CEO of Zogby International. “Instead, that initial rationale went by the wayside and, in the minds of 68% of the troops, the real mission became to remove Saddam Hussein.� Just 24% said that “establishing a democracy that can be a model for the Arab World" was the main or a major reason for the war. Only small percentages see the mission there as securing oil supplies (11%) or to provide long-term bases for US troops in the region (6%).
The continuing insurgent attacks have not turned U.S. troops against the Iraqi population, the survey shows. More than 80% said they did not hold a negative view of Iraqis because of those attacks. About two in five see the insurgency as being comprised of discontented Sunnis with very few non-Iraqi helpers. “There appears to be confusion on this,� Zogby said. But, he noted, less than a third think that if non-Iraqi terrorists could be prevented from crossing the border into Iraq, the insurgency would end. A majority of troops (53%) said the U.S. should double both the number of troops and bombing missions in order to control the insurgency.
The survey shows that most U.S. military personnel in-country have a clear sense of right and wrong when it comes to using banned weapons against the enemy, and in interrogation of prisoners. Four in five said they oppose the use of such internationally banned weapons as napalm and white phosphorous. And, even as more photos of prisoner abuse in Iraq surface around the world, 55% said it is not appropriate or standard military conduct to use harsh and threatening methods against insurgent prisoners in order to gain information of military value.
Three quarters of the troops had served multiple tours and had a longer exposure to the conflict: 26% were on their first tour of duty, 45% were on their second tour, and 29% were in Iraq for a third time or more.
A majority of the troops serving in Iraq said they were satisfied with the war provisions from Washington. Just 30% of troops said they think the Department of Defense has failed to provide adequate troop protections, such as body armor, munitions, and armor plating for vehicles like HumVees. Only 35% said basic civil infrastructure in Iraq, including roads, electricity, water service, and health care, has not improved over the past year. Three of every four were male respondents, with 63% under the age of 30.
The survey included 944 military respondents interviewed at several undisclosed locations throughout Iraq. The names of the specific locations and specific personnel who conducted the survey are being withheld for security purposes. Surveys were conducted face-to-face using random sampling techniques. The margin of error for the survey, conducted Jan. 18 through Feb. 14, 2006, is +/- 3.3 percentage points.

wow, just wow.....
LoL, this study is the most ridiculously bullshit filled I have ever seen in my life.
Do NOT take this survey as any type of accurate representation of how the troops feel. 3 out of every 4 troops you ask the dumbass question will simply tell you to fuck off.
"944 survey sample" The one's who were willing to do this survey were probably people that already had a bias...
