Story sent to some Rangers operating in Afghan.

May St. Michael be with these Troops and their Afghani protector.

It's time for us to start putting bounties on the guys wearing black towels on their heads. After all, President Bush said they are not part of a religion; they are part of a criminal ideology. I suggest the price be $0.50 alive, $50,000 dead for al Sadr. Yes, I realize Iraq is a nation of frenchies, that is, a nation of girlie boys unwilling to set themselves free, but who knows, one of the girls may off the maggot -- for a price.

Many of us took either that very same oath or one very similar and last time I heard "GOD" hadn't released any of us of the oath yet.

Stay safe Major.

Prayers for Wesley and those working with him, for
their divine protection and help so they can help
the people. May the Lord confound and amaze those
who would try to hurt him and turn their intentions
for evil back on their own heads and only to good
for Wesley. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

A most inspiring story. I had no idea that Army vets were helping the locals with their livestock.

My daughter is in Iraq with the First Cav. I've been sending quite a few care packages loaded with goodies (at least ever other week). She complains that she has been stuck in the Company CP at Camp Victory answering radios and doing paperwork instead of getting out into the countryside.

I think they've sequestered her their to protect their snack pipeline. If she gets hurt and sent home, they're back to MRE's and mess hall slop. All part of dad's plan.

You've heard the slogan, "Don't mess with Texas"? Well if those cowardly heathen in Afghanistan mess with our Sooner soldier they are gonna be DEAD.......resuscitated and KILLED AGAIN!
