Prayers and good rest.
Sickening, but the current generation is being forced to learn the Vietnam era term, “wasted”. The politicians have done it again.
So a lot of our men died in vain?? This is sad.
It isn’t Al Qaeda, it’s only a random group of concerned Muslims mad about that American made video. It’s our fault...
We lost 51 brave Marines taking Fallujah the second time.
It should have been obliterated from the air after warning the civilians to leave.
Same thing with Ramadi.
This is the only thing Islam understands. Brute force which they cannot overcome.
I don’t care if all of Iraq falls under Al Qaeda.
Even after we spent a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives, it is still an Islamic sh#thole.
I throw my sandals at them.
The Taliban will be chopping heads on the soccer field the following day.
I suspect they will start sooner than that. After all, our current ROE won't even stop them from doing it now.
Nation Building is a lousy reason to go to war, and declaring war with a euphemism (War on Terror) is a tepid response.
Indeed, and Kabul and Kandahar while we we at it.
I have been saying this for a dozen years.
You are absolutely right.
But, remember 0 bummer saying "Al Qaeda is dead and GM is alive". Yeah right Barry.
Exactly. Then torn down every totalitarian base camp/mosque/madrass in western civilization. Yet death and plunder, internal and external, are actions that can legitimize totalitarians of all stripes.
1400 years of appeasing BIG TOTALITARIANISM does not work.
But who are we? A couple of hundred years old upstart republic? BIG TOTALITARIANISM is not impressed.
Heavy artillery, it's cheaper and does a better job.
Imagine how the families whose kids died are feeling about this....
My whole family has members who have served and are serving....if my kids came to me today to sign up I would do all in my power to stop them until Obama is out of office!
I understand the sentiment, my FRiend, I really do.
However, one wonders if this could be what Mister Obama wants...to make our members of our fine Military feel unwelcome and not respected (both the people and the mission), and to leave the service. (I'm not saying this is the case, I'm saying I don't know.)
Given the critical state of the world, and the (sadly) declining state of our wonderful Country, I would try to convince those who consider wearing the uniform to do so, and to weather the bad time with an internal sense of importance and of pride that overcome lack of respect. Their service is vital to us.
.
Well, I guess I can agree that it’s worth it for them to join just the same...You never know what Obamas motives are except destruction....I won’t trust a thing this administration presents to the public...they are worse than having an enemy, who at least doesn’t pretend to be otherwise, and we have to pay for this creep!
