You can have any job you want. You aren't required to take a desk job as an only son or even an only child. You have the right to refuse that treatment. That's just barracks lawyering at its best. Aim for the sky and be one of the few, the proud. Email me if you ever have other questions. cj@soldiersperspective.us Andy, absolutely not. You can have any job you want.

And I have a question that has nothing to do with this but is important to me, and I think you might know the answer. You see my sisters boyfriend just joined the marines and he asked me if I wanted to join. Well I said yes and he said that i would have to take a desk job because i am a only son. What I was wondering is if since I have three male cousins that carry the same last name I do, would I be able to go into a combat zone, because if I die there will still be somebody to carry on the family name?

I haven't heard anything about his capture on the news. I can't believe the way the MSM is so biased. Our troops and the Iraqi troops are doing very good things over in Iraq. Wish the media would get their act together! CJ,

Sad that people dislike the President so much they are willing to let America down in order to make him look bad. Nodding head at Janet.

For it ranks with some of the other news blackouts that have only surfaced by accident. Recall all the months when the highway from Baghdad to the airport was virtually impassable due to IED attacks. Then the reports stopped. I thought nothing of it and assumed that the attacks continued. Then about 6-8 months ago someone mentioned that the highway had been safe for many months. The attacks had been given full media play. Then the success was not simply buried in the back pages or on late night news, it was never mentioned at all. This is the entire story of success in Iraq. Some have asked when we will know when we have won. It will be when the MSM stops mentioning Iraq at all and the premise will be proved that "No news IS good news"!
