Lindsay S asked:


I work for the State of Michigan and need to send a birth certificate application to a soldier in Iraq. He gave me his address, including an APO AE number and the camp he’s located at. But does mail to Iraq require any sort of postal code or anything?

Fantasma asked:


Do our troops protect the defenseless civilians from Iraq and should they? I would like to know if they just kill anyone who is in their way that is innocent or they protect them?

Why do so many care about the American casualties in Iraq, but nobody cares about Iraqi casualties?

Sunday, July 25th, 2010
iraq
Brad asked:


I’ve noticed this hypocrisy of most of the supposed “anti-war” groups. Nobody ever mentions that the War on Iraq has led to the death of over 1 million Iraqis, but the respectable “anti-war” groups have constantly mentioned how many Americans have been killed.

Why does nobody seem to care at all about Iraqis who have been maimed or killed in this War?

Is the Iraq war worse of a mess than Bush and his military poodles are letting on?

I keep hearing how ‘rosy’ things are going in Iraq–and I keep reading reports that things aren’t what they seem to be.

Why are we getting two conflicting viewpoints on just how the war is going?

Before the Jessica Lynch incident in Iraq, did the US goverment deny having women in Iraq?

Saturday, July 17th, 2010
iraq
Nick asked:


In other words, did the government try to deny the fact that servicewomen are being engaged in combat in Iraq? Did they try to glorify Jessica Lynch’s rescue and cover it up at the same time?
I suspect they’re still trying to deny that women are still being engaged, even though they’re not officially supposed to.
