Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Can you please tell if you have any info about Armenian soldiers taking casualities?
    The war does suck but I have two cousins serving there right now. They've gotten to know the Armenian community in Baghdad pretty well. I addition, they are in a New England based Marine Reserves Unit and serve with other Armenians from that area. From what my cousin has written back to my uncle, they have seen heavy house to house comabt daily.

      I believe they are in/near Ramadi but cannot say but it's easy to speculate because this is where the marine are active according to the press.

      Guys, please go easy on Armenian Kid. He is our brother and maybe one day we'll all have the chance to serve together against our enemy.

        The only chance "Armeniankid" will have to fight against is Armenia's allies - if not Armenia itself.

        I suggest you wake up.

          You got some good ideas and come off as intelligent and knowledgable. Why do you feel a need to take a rather negative and aggressive preaching stance? I felt more influenced when you provide information with a tone to educate. All these guys on here clearly show a pride in our common culture. ArmenianKid alreayd stated in a previous post he could not fight his fellow Armenians and I can't imagine the US having cause to carry out operations against Armenia much less using Armenian-Americans to do so.

            Often times, truth is hard to accept.

            Its not about "Armeniankid" per say, its about individual Armenians choosing to partake in a criminal war effort that in the long term poses a serious danger to Armenia, Armenia's regional allies and the global community.

            For example:

            If Armeniankid's much loved military wins in Iraq, it will be Syria's turn next. Afterwards, it will be Iran's turn. With Iraq, Syria and Iran destroyed, the region will fall to Zionists, pan-Turkists and Globalists. Armenia does NOT serve the interests of Washington, Ankara, Tel Aviv, Islamabad and London. Armenia DOES serves the interests of Moscow, Tehran and perhaps the EU.

            This is our reality and this will be our reality for the foreseeable future.

            This is not difficult to understand, is it?

                The US will not attack Iran, Syria, etc. Why? The Democratic party is about to take over in the US Congress and is anti-war. They will have our forces out asap. At least 60% of the American public is against the war and even more are against Bush. This is the current reality. The US Armed forces cannot handle another war, especially one that would prove to be more difficult than Iraq. I have both friends and familly that are currently in Iraq or have recently returned; the are not for this war but that being said, when they are serving, they fight for each other/their units and not for Bush or the Republican party. They are well-trained and professional. They have made mistakes and made some poor choices but can you imagine what another nations army would have done in their position? Remember, the US armed forces follow orders and were ordered to partake in this mission.


                Additionally, the civilian, pro-Likud, Neo-cons holed up in the think-tanks and Bush administration positions have lost support, been ridiculed, and silenced with the exception of Rumsfeld (who is even more unpopular than Bush and only keeps his position because of Bush's stubborness) and our ambassador to the UN, John Bolton (who has been tamed by reality). More and more people are rejecting or knee-jerk support for Israel and the current conflict in Lebanon had displayed the futility of our unquestioning support.

                Everything the neo-cons predicted and planned for has turned to sh*t. Most Americans were skeptical before the war and not they are downright angry.

                If anything, expect the US to become more isolationist in the near future, we have enough problems at home. It has taken way too long but Americans are finally learning.

                No, Armeniankid will not be fighting Armenia or and Armenian allies.

                  I know in Fallujah a saw one armenian soldier get wounded. I don't know if he died or not.


                  Anyone foolish enough to think the US army is in shape for another war is just that- a fool. if you read up on the damages we are taking in every catorgory you would know we are barley fighting this one. Nearly 50% of our tanks were combat ineffective while i was over there. When i went into fallujah my tank was a mismatch of parts from broken tanks and loose welds.
                  The US humvees are in worse condition. and we don't have the money to fix them right now.

                  To think the US army would go to war in the near future is just plain dumb. Maybe in the next 20-30 years, depending on we pull out from Iraq.

                      This must be the first Armenian American soldier killed in action in the Middle East... What a shame, what a waste... He died for what? Armeniankid, can you please tell me what this young Marine died for?

                      Was it to protect America?

                      Was it in the service of humanity?

                      Or was it to safeguard Armenia?

                      America has lost over three thousand personnel and they have killed perhaps tens of thousands of Iraqis. Can you tell me what was all this blood shed for?
