I’ve never heard it spoken.
Thanks! :-)
The Afghani’s had close to 20 years and almost $1,000,000,000,000 US tax dollars to get it right.
2312 Americans were Killed in Action trying to help them get it right.
20,000+ American’s Wounded In Action trying to help them get it right. Losing limbs, eyesight, permanently disabled, PTSD. A close friend was in an IED attack. His MRAP was blown up right after he and his teammates delivered medicine to a clinic. He survived but deals with the injuries of that, to this day.
1000s of contractors killed or wounded. And not all of them were guys with guns. Many were truck drivers, trying to deliver the mail or some food to folks.
They had their chance. They blew it.
F*CK THEM!!!!!!

If they can keep Creepy Joe vertical until January 21, 2022 it could be 10 years of Harris.
(No worries about keeping her vertical)
My bad.
January 21, 2023.
Over 50K were KIA in Vietnam. This was no war. US troops rode up and down roads.
“Didn’t run from it, he owned it. He owned his decision. He owned the fact that, as he put it, the buck stops with him.”
That is some impressive lying. Biden did literally none of that.
Bingo. Another feckless democrap trying to cover his lame ass. Hey Zeller you voted for Biden, the man with all the plans! You own him and his decisions.
US troops rode up and down roads in Vietnam as well.
I surely hope that you’re not making light of the 2312 that lost their lives in Afghanistan, as compared to the 50k that lost their lives in Vietnam. Because it almost sounds like you are comparing the two and making light of the fact that the numbers in Afghanistan are so much lower. If that is what you’re doing, then you are quite the POS, I must say.
But if you want to go that route, then someone, say a WW2 veteran could say that Vietnam was not a war either, given the fact that over 291k, American military personnel lost their lives during combat operations and they drove up and down the roads. And that was within a 4-5 year time span.
If you do, please do a little research on how long it took to get an injured soldier off the battlefield in both places. And you’ll probably find that in the GWOT that military personnel were taken off the battlefield to receive the next level of care, which was the equivalent of going to a Level 1 Trauma Center in the US or better, in a record amount of time.
Please do a little research on what is known as Tactical Combat Casualty Care. And you’ll find that even the most basic care provided to someone on the battlefield was enough to save their lives.
Please do a little research on combat medicine, combat medics and the quality of training and education that they receive. And you’ll find that they’re right up there with our nations advanced EMTs, Paramedics, Nurse’s and PAs.
Please take some time to see how things as simple as tourniquets. A device that when I went through basic training was a triangle bandage and a stick and someone had to travel with you in the hopes of saving your limb, to ratchet straps and then a windlass, where we were trained to set it and forget because the surgeons could deal with it.
Because what was the number one killer of service members that were wounded in combat....Massive Blood Loss.
I really hope that I read your statement wrong. If I did and I went overboard responding to you, my bad.
If I’m 100% right that you’re trying to compare the two and make the lives lost in Vietnam more important than the ones lost in Afghanistan, you’re a special kind of POS.
No infantry ran combat OPS on roads in Vietnam. I know about
the best medics as SF had them. You sound like a REMF.
Very few mech OPS were on roads in RVN. By 73 the US Army was
pushing mech in Korea. I saw liars get promoted. MGMT by stats.
11B……douchebag
And only a POS like you would compare casualties of war, as if one made you any better than the other. Truly says a lot about you, which is that you’re a POS.
Of course you don’t nor can you argue anything about how much time the wounded spent on the battlefield.
And to your point about combat OPS. In Iraq and Afghanistan most of fighting took place in cities, towns and villages. Wonder how they got there. Probably flapped their wings and flew there.
Here are some guys fighting, not on roads.

Some more….not fighting on the roads
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mGyMf4G6EAU
Some more…
But you’re a hardcore killer aren’t you. And the SF medics you know. How do you know them?
You’re just a miserable human being trying to make yourself feel better. Any person that actually fought and has a mindset like yours proves that you’re a miserable POS.
11B. When? You have quite a mouth. SF medics are in SF. I was in 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 10th.

3rd, 5th, 6th, 10th what? Grades?
If you’re alleging that you were SF while at the same time, downplaying what has taken place in Afghanistan since 2001, you truly are a POS. And you do a great disservice to that tab, the Arrowhead and Green Beret.
I guess the term Quiet Professional means nothing to you.
Yes, you certainly are the angry POS that drinks alone at the American Legion.
BlueLancer…..understand this all started because GI Joe thinks the guys who’ve been serving since 2001 aren’t as hard as he is. They don’t know what it’s like
The guys walking patrols through booby-trapped poppy fields don’t know sh*t
The guys losing their lives and limbs from stepping on pressure plates don’t know sh*t.
He’s just a miserable person.
They are SF Groups. Your service in war? When? A CIB or PH?
I’m done with a miserable POS like you. This isn’t about me and my CIB.
You talk about …. It isn’t war. They drove around.
What a pitiful thing to say. Good Lord you are an A$$hole.
But if you’d like, since you’re such a warrior, go down to Walter Reed, Ft Sam Houston, Bethesda and VAs around the country and talk to the guys that lost their limbs after stepping on pressure plates, getting hit with IEDs and VBIEDs. Having to deal with EFPs ripping through their vehicles. All while operating under incredibly strict ROEs that didn’t exist during Vietnam. And operations being done while the world watches. Again, not something killers like you dealt with in Vietnam.
I don’t care if you were awarded the CMH, twice, and could have earned 10 more. As soon as I read your initial comment I thiught to myself….what would Colonel Robert Howard think about your statement?
https://www.soc.mil/SWCS/RegimentalHonors/_pdf/sf_howard.pdf
I have no way of knowing whether you’re telling the truth or not. Don’t care. You’re a miserable person. That is all
You never served with SFC Howard and later Colonel.
