Our son is currently slotted to go to California from Camp LeJeune after Christmas for desert warfare training prepartory to shipping out to Afghanistan in the spring. His five year hitch is up in May, and he has decided that he doesn’t care to salute CIC Zer0. I hope that he will be out before orders come thru for his outfit to go to Afghanistan. He accepts, as do his wife, his mother, and me that he is in the profession of arms and that people get killed in that profession. He enlisted originally because he believed that the War on Terror needed to be fought and the filth defeated no matter what, and he has served one tour in Iraq. Zer0 is the tool of his hate America base. I think that every single one of our warriors killed or maimed on Zer0’s watch is a waste of a life whose blood is on Zer0’s hands. This war is no longer about victory, its about saving Zer0’s ass, and not one life is worth that.
i totally agree on afghanistan. this “mission” is not worth the death of “only” a single soldier anymore. but still brave young men have to die because politicians are unwilling to accept the inevitable. that afghanistan is a lost cause as it has allways been. “we” can stay there and fight forever and it will change nothing because the people there will never change. i hope your son stays save.i wish him good luck and may he soon come back to his loved ones.
greetings
