Can you wear the global war on terrorism expeditionary medal and Afghanistan campaign medal?
Yes. You get the GWOT Sevice Medal 30 days after you get to your first duty station and the GWOT Expeditionary Medal in lieu of a campaign medal (Iraq or Afghanistan) or if you deploy overseas on a boat or to Korea or Japan. You "CAN" wear both if you rate them.

To what extent is the use of torture an acceptable practice in the war on terror?
Because of laws that have been put into place since the beginning of the war on terror, mild torture has become commonplace in the GWOT. At the most basic levels of interrogation sensory and sleep deprivation are practiced along with things like water boarding. however, beyond that anything further like physical abuse and experimental drugs are only speculated to be used (but most likely used) by military and civilian intelligence personel.
Im deployed in support of OIF can I use my military ID and travel orders to enter the UK on leave to see my wife?
This is a question which really needs to be directed to the Judge Advocate General (who, in turn, would probably have to contact the British consulate in DC). Tentatively speaking, orders and an ID covers official travel only. During my second stint in OIF, I went to South Africa to visit my family, and I was required to have a passport. However, South Africa is neither a NATO member nation, nor is engaged in the GWOT, so there is a possibility that it could be worked out in your favour in regards to the UK. If you have the means to get a passport, you really should go and do that. In the meantime, you can contact the British Embassy in Washington, DC at +1-212-588-6500 and they should be able to give you a definite answer there.
I know rangers have to be jump qualified but do they do combat jumps on a regular basis at least for this current war?
As far as I know, only two combat jumps have occurred since the GWOT began in 2001. The first was Operation Bright Star in 2001 in Afghanistan, in which 147 Rangers made a combat jump into Afghanistan. The other was Operation Option North in 2003 in Iraq, which involved 1,000 jumpers drawn from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and US Air Force's 18 Expeditionary Force. That jump was more a matter of posturing than necessity, however - the airfield was already secured by the time the jump occurred, and was more than capable of handling any aircraft necessary. Before 2001, there hadn't been any combat jumps made since Desert Storm, and only 12 jumps (which seems to me to indicate only 12 personnel) were credited for that one.
How many Marines are in the US Marines?
About 200,000 US Marines. They have the French Foreign Legion outnumbered 25 to one.Prior to the global war on terror the US Marines had an active duty strength of approximately 183,000. This includes Officers and Enlisted. This end strength is set by Congress (as it is for all services). The Marine Corps also has a sizable reserve made up by both active duty Marines that have served at least one full term of enlistment on active duty, as well as reservists that served only on active duty for training. Frequently the US Marine Corps would "get around" the limitation on end strength by bringing reservists on active duty for periods of up to one year to augment the active duty corps, and these reservist did not count against the active duty end strength.Since the GWOT, congress approved a significant increase in the active duty end strength to something like 225,000. This does not include the Marine Reserve units that were activated for the 2nd Gulf War to bulk up the US Forces in Theater.The US Marines are a smaller service because they are considered elite and hold themselves to a higher standard than virtually all military services around the globe. They are in fact the largest all elite force on earth.
