God Bless our boys in uniform in Afghanistan and everywhere. It’s so sad to read stories like this.
You have the right pic for each post! May they have Eternal Glory!
God Bless our men and women I should say.
I am sorry to say that it is time for our soldiers to get out of Afghanistan. Our government is not behind us and neither is the government of Afghanistan...so get out and let them do their own thing.... We can always strike out at the convergence of Taliban or their supporters.
I was pro-war against these idiots but have changed my mind and no longer see any benefit in continuing this war... We can always hit them remotely if and when they gather in any serious effort...
Sad bump.
Sad news.
Already added to the casualty list on my profile page. Along with possibly two, one for sure, others KIA hostile action, (bombing,) in S Afghanistan.
Identifications as soon as I get them.
This just eats at me day and night.
RIP.
