Country: | Jewish women serve a tenure of 8 years at least, pregnant or no. It is just a statement that the mojaaheedsmoketheweed is trying to press upon the world.
funny did you see the 3 year old Phillistine punks marching along with big brothers with lily white sheets and cocanuts strapped around their waist impersonating bombers in response to the anniversary of some local spot on the mideast planet recently ? | |

Country: | Chris you know full well as I that is abnormal to us but acceptable norms to the mideastern culture. Sure when first there we all had a shock to our system besides the bizarre food tastes they have and the horribly strong swill they call kaffee. Geez i still remember the Jordanian stuff with a small spoon stuck vertically in it, expected to not offend we drank that horrible concoction, I had the YUK tate in my mouth all day as we hunted for bad guys | |

Country: | I did not mind the food though. I thought the food was pretty good (well atleast in Kurdistan it was very good when we ate at the KDP headquarters). I never tried the coffee but the tea was magnificant served in slightly larger shot glasses.

..well, he's got a point here... | I'm pretty sure she wasn't forced into the military pal. She joined of her own free will, no? I would think the British armed forces have hardship discharges as well for extreme situations.

What differnce does it make that Turney is a mother? How many of the other 14 soldiers are fathers? Arn't they just as important?
As a father of 2 I can sympathsise with the families who have suffered the loss of a loved one in the current situation. It was not too long ago that families where being kicked out of barracks after their husbands/fathers had been KIA.
Good to see the hostages released but I wonder when will thier be another incident.
