He is still characterized as a deserter of the U.S. Army. Our government will proceed according to provisions of the law and how that will finally unfold remains to be seen.

I’m not a doctor and I’m not the kind of a person who would be in a position to approve or disapprove. It seems to me, looking at it from this distance, is that the responsible people are the combatant commanders. And the Army is the executive agent for detainees.

I feel terrible. I'd like to get out. I'm done with the army. I want to move on. My commitment was up last December but they extended the whole division until January 31, 2007,

Fragmented boards can't have the expertise needed to review the Army Corps of Engineers plans for the levee system nor the clout to hold them accountable. Multiple boards cannot be part of a cohesive solution for the region.

Future procurements under the five-year contract will be determined by the Army and be based on individual supplier performance, specifically delivery and quality.

I am a legal immigrant whose parents went from Russia to China to Chile to finally reach the United States and thereby give me a chance to have a better life. I served six years in the U.S. Army Reserve, went to college, have a successful career and have dedicated my life to being a good citizen.

I am confident we will get the signatures we need. This is a well-funded effort. We have an army of volunteers. Everyone seems real excited.

For months we have seen the government trying to cling to a pathetic pretense of a cease-fire. Surely Peter Hain can recognize that when live bullets are fired at the police and army, that constitutes a breach of even his definition of a cease-fire.

If Army wants to push the ball, we'll push back. If the pace slows and there's a lot of six-on-six, we're fine with that, too.

If it were to rain a lot, there is concern from the Army Corps of Engineers that the levees might break,

I have absolutely no regrets coming to West Point. The military, I think, is a good fit for me. I am very much looking forward to getting out into the Army and putting what I learned to good use.

I believe that there are elements of extra-legal militias that are moving around doing some of this damage. There may be people with misguided loyalties in some of the security services, although less in the army than in the police.

But they would be unwise just to shoo the coalition out, because they cannot handle the army and the police areas on their own it would give too much advantage to the people perpetrating violence.

But certainly the Pakistani army is continuing to look for people.

Basically, what they're working on here is a smallpox drug. As you know, the vaccine does have a lot of side effects. And this small, tiny basically New York-based company, with its labs out in Oregon, is working on this drug, ... And they just recently announced a contract from the Army -- $1.6 million. It's obviously speculative and somewhere along the line the company is going to have to raise money.

I have a job to do, I'm an officer in the Army, and I've got my duty to do. We're truck drivers, we're targets -- big moving targets -- and it's scary.

Today I have a beautiful movie but five years from now - God forbid - I might not be doing anything at all. I might be unemployed and looking for a job. This is such a rollercoaster ride and I think it is good that I came into it at an older age and that I have traveled and done army service.

Having already gone through a bad aircraft choice once, the Army wants to make absolutely certain that this time it picks the right aircraft.

Has your district defended any cases on behalf of the (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers against claims brought by environmental groups seeking to block or otherwise impede the Corps work on the levees protecting New Orleans? If so, please describe the case and the outcome of the litigation.

What I like about him is that he's talented, he's physical and the guy is not intimidated by anything. You talk about the deer-in-the-headlights look. I can guarantee you, if the Russian Army comes over here, he won't have the deer-in-the-headlights look.

He sabotaged the Mitchell report instead of accepting it when he said that he will continue building settlements. So what does the Mitchell report mean? Sharon wants to continue building settlements; therefore there will be no peace. Therefore if the occupation continues and the Israel army continues raiding Palestinian cities and people. So what does it mean when he accepts Mitchell report?

Having Matt come back for the Army game meant so much to the rest of us. To see how much Matt cares about Navy basketball and how badly he wants to be there for the team ... it's just very uplifting.

We're now operating in a territory where the Mehdi Army is not used to us being.

I actually believe that I am proof positive that the current policy of training the Iraqi army -- of recruiting, training and buddying them worked -- because it was the Iraqis that got me out.

If the stock market were not making five- and six-year highs, Iran and the U.S. were fast friends and the Nigerian militants were stuffing flowers in the gun muzzles of the Nigerian army -- then we might be worried about a reversal, but not now.

His movement has transformed successfully from one organization into about 14 organizations that spread out across the world, ... Efforts by the Pakistani Army to go after bin Laden, the so-called spring and summer offensives, have again and again ended in failure.

He should be fired. When someone makes comments like that, that are so obviously racially prejudiced. We don't tolerate that in modern American society. We certainly didn't tolerate it in the U.S. Army and we don't tolerate it here. It's wrong.

He seemed young and decisive, able to make the shift from guerrilla leader to political leader, rather like Michael Collins of the Irish Republican Army did in the early 1920s.

What Dr. Harvey has done is directed an Army-wide review of how we notify family members,

There is no hesitation about this, as the political decision has been taken. We are withdrawing every single official from Lebanon, whether he is a regular army soldier, or whether he is in the security or intelligence forces.

He has reported 10 minutes ago that he can hear shots being fired below him. People are screaming, and the Indonesian army is advancing up the mountain, slaughtering refugees. That is happening now, as we speak.

The People's Liberation Army is very rich, very powerful and all-knowing. You must keep looking over your shoulder. This is an exceedingly jealous business and I find pieces that others can't find, I know people they don't know.

We took very seriously our responsibilities with the government. All of us have a very strong belief in the Army and how it operates and what it does for us. We took a lot of pride in supporting the soldier in whatever way we could. When we left the Arsenal, it was very difficult for us. We wanted to let them know we would support them in any way we could.

My position in the army is as sport instructor. This allows me generous time off for travel and competition. I also receive a monthly salary from the army.

Mark is part of our nation's most distinguished legacy, men and women who have sworn to protect Vermont, and, when called upon, the United States. This was a man of uncommon courage, a man who lived the Army values.

Some people are very family-oriented and reserve units are in their communities, whereas regular army bases are often in remote or far-away parts of the country. And then there's the whole notion of deploying overseas, which can be unattractive.

Standing armies can never consist of resolute robust men; they may be well-disciplined machines, but they will seldom contain men under the influence of strong passions, or with very vigorous faculties.

State lands permitting is finished. And the fully executed document is on the way from the Army Corps, we understand.

Our overarching goal is to build a national grass-roots army,

President Bush is going to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. That no longer seems in doubt. The question is: How does he plan to do it? Which troops will come out first? How quickly? Where will they go? Under what circumstances will they be put back in? Which troops will remain, and what will they do? How will they keep a profile low enough to make the Iraqi government seem genuinely autonomous yet high enough to help deter or stave off internal threats? Who will keep the borders secure, a task for which the Iraqi army doesn't even pretend to have the slightest capability? What kinds of diplomatic arrangements will he make with Iraq's neighbors -- who have their own conflicting interests in the country's future -- to assure an international peace?

Regrettably, the readiness of the Iraqi army is wholly inadequate for the needs. Our own government has said so.

People need to continue to call the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, ... The support we have received from the community has been great, but we need more help.

I was a captain in the Army. I was told leaders lead. The problem is that a lot of elected officials are chicken.

I think that being teammates with Tony is a very good yardstick to try to measure up to. I think it just makes you try harder to be a better team. I certainly want to be a better driver, and whether we were teammates with the U.S. Army team or not, obviously we would be competing against them on the track. But, being a little bit closer to them than just another competitor, it definitely makes you want to be better. It's a good opportunity to keep you motivated to make everything perfect all the time.

Just as there isn't one Iraqi people, there isn't one Iraqi army. We won't be arming a national army, but armies that are loyal to three different groups.

Just as we withdrew to the last millimeter, the Lebanese army needs to ensure security until the last millimeter of the border,

I think the reason why Pakistan has rejected Indian overtures in this case are the consequence of that long history of suspicion and hostility. You cannot do otherwise from a Pakistani perspective, ... They would not like Indian personnel, doctors, army men on the ground in that area.

Language moves so fast and people are so clever at inventing new terms, it takes an army to keep up. Suggestions from correspondents are always a good starting point-they give us something to investigate.

James was back there on a vacation, ... He was one of my favorite guitar players. I had written this song ('I'll Make Believe') that everyone said sounded like a good song for Ricky Nelson. I gave it to James. He took it back to Los Angeles and then called me and said, 'Hey, that song you gave me, I played it for Ricky and he likes it. He's gonna record it.' I went, 'Wow.' That was a big deal at the time because Elvis was in the Army and Ricky was the top guy.

Our initial direct cash contribution to the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army and other emergency management agencies was made to meet the immediate need of those affected communities. With Rebuilding Hope & Homes, we can channel the support of our large and loyal customer base to help fund the largest long-term rehabilitation and rebuilding project in our country's history.

My mom is a teacher here and I hear everyday that the kids pray for Nate the army guy. And I'm glad she asked that question about religion, because it's good they keep that a priority in life.

My next book is also set in the eighteenth century. It's about the Revolution, with the focus on the year 1776. It's about Washington and the army and the war. It's the nadir, the low point of the United States of America.

It is green and still has some of the Army markings on it,

I think the 'Boxers' book was easier for me to envision as a comic, because they were on this epic journey. These teenagers basically gathered into this army and marched to the capital city where they had a showdown with the Europeans and Japanese. On the 'Saints' side, it was a lot trickier.

It is an honor for HNTB to have the opportunity to assist the New Orleans District of the Army Corps of Engineers in continuing its valiant efforts to rebuild the city's infrastructure. We have assembled a talented team that will quickly deliver some diverse and complex services to meet the Corps' accelerated schedule.

Our award reflects a high level of confidence in TVS' product design and development skills across the tactical vehicle spectrum, as well as those of UQM Technologies and our other supplier partners. Lessons derived from conducting this demonstrator phase will be integrated with our Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) enhancement program -- the FMTV A2 -- to ensure the U.S. Army continues to operate the most advanced tactical truck fleet in the world.

Overall it was a positive weekend. We shot well, but came up just short against a very good Army team. We were without one of our best shooter, Shannon Wilson , but I was proud of Casey and Natasha, because they stepped up in her absence and gave us great depth.

Our goal is to finish number one and number two in the points chase. It really doesn't matter to either of us who wins just as long as the Army team is crowned champion.

I tell you, I did engineering and earthwork in the Army for 20 years but having to pay for it in the civilian world is new to me. All this development work is costly,

It is not an organized army per se,

I think that the Army, being drafted, was my escape route. I was in the Army for two years, and then I got the G.I. Bill, which enabled me to go to NYU and which enabled me to become a teacher. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't had the G.I. Bill." ()

I think we are moving into a very, very dangerous situation whereby we could even come to the stage of a complete confrontation between the Orange and the army and police,

It is a deliberate campaign against the army. We are professional. We would not fire shells at a sensitive time like this. We have not fired artillery or mortars at them for four years now.

I think we called in the army without much delay but the area is remote and deployment takes time,
