    Are Royal Marines very good in most environments? And as an all round force?

    id say pretty good if you look at their record. i'm trying to think of who has defeated the British, and not many have. only the Americans, when we got our independence, and that is about it. the Brits routinely fought bigger enemies and won, like France and Germany.

    Who is deeply troubled by the news from Afghanistan?

    I have team members who fell there and hearing Gen. McChrystal say we are losing that war is really upsetting. I am volunteering to go there so my son doesn't have to. Anyways, from my impression of the Afghan Army, I thought we were winning. The people were fed up with Taliban and liked...

    do i have to sign on as a higher rank in the Army if i have a college degree?

    dont be stupid. you will be a Private enough to hate it. As an Spc. you will make more money, which you will need after 4 years of college, to pay for that worthless degree you got. I know, I thought just like you did. The Army will consider you have the wrong mentality if you dont want to...
