what a load of religious clap trap! somebody should introduce him/her to philosphy she/he might make up his/her OWN mind for once.
Jesus Himself was willing to sacrifice Himself to save others. If each of us in the world did this, there would never be another war ever again.
If we all did this there would be no one left to fight, correct. Good argument allthough I doubt that is the reasoning you were using though.
Unfortunately, this will not happen because the majority of the world does not know Jesus or His power to overcome our innate natures.
Ok the implied premise here is the ONLY WAY to overcome our urges is good ole JC. Woop, Wooop thats my fallacy detector telling me this is spin!
Allright the UN is far from perfect, but are you suggesting world peace can only come if we subscribe to christian dogma!?!? Where have you been all this time? Western religion and the zomies that follow it are part of the PROBLEM and not a solution to it !

Actually, Grady said the Basic School, not Basic Training. Basic School is a training program in the Marine Corps to train officers in the very primary levels of command in the Marine Corps, concentrated on leading a platoon. So it's not really basic training, it just teaches the basics on how to be a Marine Corps officer.

Basic officer training is taken care of when you are at the service academies or in ROTC.
TBS is more like advanced officer training, with a focus on leadership and tactics.

Maybe that is how you do things in your military, but that is not the way we do them in ours.
There are few funny moments when you are training to be an officer, especially for the Marines.

mad, you simply are uneducated as to a world you don't know exists. That comes with age but then again you can live a long ignorant life. To some I agree this is bliss.

Yes people besides yourself have much greater knowledge on what is really going on. Nothing however pertaining to chits on DOD can be posted as the information is confidential. You will not see any information from DOD discussed or posted here only what you read in the papers and see with your eyes.
