That went to Tal Afar?

My jaw dropped.

Our contact is going to be deliriously happy with all the goodies he is going to get to pass out.

I'm sure there must be Special Forces that stage missions out of this base. It stands to reason because of its location and all the clean up fighting going on in the towns along the Syrian border.

And I know if there are Special Forces at this location, that our contact will be sure they get some of the loot.

God love you!

Hi Kat! Great to see you around here again. I'm glad that article made your blood boil. It certainly did mine. Hopefully others channel their anger into productive expressions of troop support, as you did. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
