Until very recently, I was pretty certain on joining the Marine Corps after HS. However, after researching and asking questions, I realized that I would have more opportunities to pursue a Special Operations in the Army. I want to know if I should just go into the Corps and attempt to enter their Secial Operations program or if I should change to the Army for a better chance.

I decided I am going to pursue a career in Special Operations Forces. I want to know whether is would be best to go through the Army or the Marine Corps to achieve this goal. I ask this because while the Army does have more SOF groups, the Marine Corps has recently formed MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) and that SOF group is still growing. I would like advice from any SOF military personnel on which branch would be better for a SOF career.

What seperates these guys from the rest of us?

I was wondering which of these would thrive in an SOF (special operations forces) environment as opposed to the conventional military?

I'm thinking XXTPs would do the best in this environment.

I'm taking about all of them (SF, SEALS, MARSOC, PJs). What common thing do all these people all in common that helps be good at their jobs?

What are your feelings towards Congressman Ron Paul? If he was to win the primary, would you support him?

Where do you think the top three major hot spots for WW3 would be?

-Majority of Asia= China and India are both rising powers who want more influence within the continent

-Parts of Africa=In many countries on the continent of Africa, there are valuable resources; plus China is investing heavily into the majority of African countries

-Middle East and N. Africa= They have many deposits of oil which is needed to fuel a war

Where do you think the MAJOR hot-spots of the next global war will be?

Think about it.

While Europe was suffering from the Dark Ages and lack of innovation, Africa was enjoying an unprecedented amount of wealth and growth by trading with the Middle East.

Then the Renaissance began in Europe and things began to reverse. Suddenly the Europeans had great and powerful empires and the Africans were dirt-poor and left in their own Dark Age.

Currently, Europe is slowly collapsing under its enormous debt and Africa is slowly climbing out of poverty (especially in W.Africa)

Don't believe that Africa is slowly improving? Take a look at this: http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fand%E2%80%A6

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_%E2%80%A6

Overall, I believe as Africa rises, Europe falls and as Europe rises, Africa falls.

What do you think of this theory?

I think the reason why European countries like Sweden and France are able to have such expensive programs is that we are basically their "de facto" protection. Read the article below for more info.

For those that didn't read the article: it talks about how many European countries are using NATO as a form of military protection and are not contributing to the budget of NATO in many ways. The $$$ that they are supposed to be using for national defense are going towards welfare programs.

'Nuff Said.

Please spread this article.

Do you think NATO should be disbanded?

I think its just become another way for the European nations (excluding the UK and MAYBE France) to mooch of our military and waste their tax dollars on over-the-top socialist programs.

i've heard that rifles are very loud when being fired and can cause hearing loss. How do soldiers protect their ears in combat?

Okay, I need help with this question.

*If your stuck in a shipwreck, how would a concave mirror and a regular mirror help you?*

I don't get it :/. So Please answer thank you :)

It is possible for an infantry Marine to join the Army after one enlistment and keep his rank? Will the Marine have to attend BCT and AIT as well? This is what I plan to do for my military career.

What are some good videos online that are about Marines?

I know that it is unrealistic but if the coalition had the power to invade the US, how would they do it? Please be specific.

With the revolutions going on in the ME, China rising as a superpower, and our economy in ruining, do you think we're on the brink of the next global war? Be specific please.
