The army marines : The army and the marines don t get paid enough, for the kind of job they do i feel they don t get paid enough...They get paid less than the navy and airforce and is wrong...I still don t understand how can someone who graduate from college with a chemistry degree get paid 52,000 a year and someone who is giving his life to save everyone in your country and to wipe your ass, gets paid 1,3...

The U.S and the War in Irak...
The U.S needs to pull out out of Irak...Look i was in favor of the war but after i saw HOW MUCH money the U.S is in debt, it needs to pull out out of Irak...
