Support and stand behind your troops, asshole ... or feel free to enlist and stand in front of them. You're obviously of no decent character, so in no position to be judging others as you just have.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40715888/ns/politics-capitol_hill/ Pretty interesting moment in history. One akin to having homosexuality removed from the DSM, in my opinion... I personally don't care who's interested in whose bits as long as they're a good soldier! Wendy CO EMT-B

Kiwimedic and CBEMT, unfortunately, both of you, seemingly on opposite sides of the issue, are both absolutely correct.

Care to back that up with some scientific evidence or are you just covering up your own homosexual arousal? It still amazes me that in this day and age this is still an issue. Sexual orientation does not make or break a soldier, how well you can shoot a gun does. Sexual orientation has no effect on a persons ability to shoot. It's funny how the people that are the most against gays serving in the military are the ones that are most boisterous about protecting people's rights and freedoms. Pretty hypocritical. They will fight for your rights and freedoms, as long as it doesn't disagree with their beliefs. Red headed people make me nervous, they shouldn't be allowed to serve either. Herbie, so are you saying that basic human rights shouldn't be a priority?

thanks yall i know its just tough and well ive got to buckle myself down and do it. like i told my teacher im not here to waste time nor the money... right now im tryin to juggle school life along with home life and its not easy... but thanks for the support.

Positive pressure is an interesting concept and works in many different ways, some not well understood. Some of the mechanisms include: 1) Increased FRC and surface area available for gas exchange. 2) Increased pressures and alveolar splinting. 3) Potential fluid shifts. 4) Decreased preload and decreased myocardial workload with increased oxygen supply. (This is actually a very important one in an acutely decompensated CHF patient.) Take care, chbare.
