Solders and Marines in Afghanistan - Prayers and Thoughts (Vanity)
Vanity ^ | August 17, 2021 | ConservativeInPA

Posted on 08/17/2021 3:39:51 PM PDT by ConservativeInPA

Please say a prayer for our troops that are in harms way.

Some thoughts: They are being sent on a mission that can never be compared to victories achieved on famous battlefields. Despite that, they go willing to do their duty. They may not agree with President Biden, but this is their job, and they go willingly. They won't receive recognition from their comrades in arms, as this is not a real battle. (At least not yet and I hope it stays that way.)

This mission is a retreat. Real soldiers do not like to retreat. And these are real soldiers. I personally know some of the fine men of the 82nd Airborne, and one is my SIL. He wants to win. He trains to win. This, however, is not winning. It is cleaning up after a senile incompetent resident and woke generals. He knows that and still does his duty.

These guys on that tarmac in Kabul are not woke. Their talents and training are completely underutilized. Their mission is thankless. They have left their families and loved ones at home. It is a thankless sacrifice, unless we do our duty and thank them.

Think of these men, and if you ever run into one of them, thank them. They deserve it. They are doing their duty no matter what.

Good question, and I do not think this has been thought thru. They will fight their way out if they have to.

He's abandoned America. He's holed up at Camp David again. He hasn't talked to a world leader since last week. Why should he think about any Americans, especially ones put in harms way? He has no idea what that means on an individual level. It is completely abstract to him. Just like running a small business. No experience, never done it. Completely abstract. His entire eff'n life he has been an underachiever and never did anything on his own. He is a absolute piece of schiff.

AMERICA PRAYER VIGIL (AUGUST 17, 2021) *PRAYER*
http://freerepublic.com/ ^ | 8/16/2021 | Free Republic Intercessors

Posted on 8/16/2021, 7:13:13 PM by John4.11

Join together with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

Heavenly Father, we come together before You today with praise and worship in our hearts for You are so good and so faithful. We proclaim this day that You are the King of our hearts. Thank You for hearing our prayers.

We ask You to please protect our men and women in the military who are in harm’s way in Afghanistan and all those in that country who are suffering under this tyranny.

Lord, we ask, too, that You make a way for this country to restore voting system integrity. We ask, Lord, that the politicians who are in office illegally be ousted from their positions. Shine a light on all the fraud that has taken place so that there is absolutely no doubt about the cheating and stealing that took place. Bring forth the whistleblowers. Raise up Godly men and women to take hold of their local communities and state offices. Give them courage and protection as they share the truth about the election scam. Help us, Lord. We put all our trust in You. Only You can right this ship.

Father, we cry out to You to restore order to this nation that is rapidly becoming lawless. We pray for You to uncover the truths of Covid. Give us discernment and wisdom.to expose the lies. Help us weather this storm of propaganda and deceit that is flooding our lives.

We need You now more than ever, Lord. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lord, I Need You w/ lyrics

They will fight their way out if they have to.

Americans are waiting in houses in the middle of the city. There are Taliban check points everywhere. Would you make that walk to the airport?

Do we send soldiers into the city to get them. "Err, excuse me Mr. Taliban guy, I'm just going over to this house to get an American."

I have thought this would happen.

Remember to be amazed if you watch news. You can somehow understand Chinese.

The point is to humiliate us absolutely.

Well it’ll be the administration they’ll humiliate; Americans? From any country? Never.

Well put. This among other situations in the USA may make this the lowest point that our nation has ever seen. I am not quite sure we can survive this as a functioning republic. Getting back to the point,I have to ask what is the military mission and foreign policy goals of the USA going forward?

Pelosi (and maybe Gen Mullie) believes her freezer is the best place to find her vanilla ice cream.

Words cannot describe how right you probably are, nor how important this information is to national security.
