NATO announced earlier Friday that two U.S. paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division had gone missing Wednesday while delivering supplies.
My son who is deploying to Afghanistan in January called earlier and said everyone in his unit are referring to the upcoming deployment as “two months til their deaths”.
Some of our troops have lost all hope due to lack of direction and mission while that son of a b*tch in the White House stalls for more troops to get the job done so he can push through a friggin health care bill nobody wants.
This is what I keep saying. Anymore, especially under our new Commander in Chief, you can’t believe ANYTHING the military says. For instance, when I was over there, I had to do a recovery mission on two choppers that went down. I knew as soon as we got to the scene of the crashes (a giant field outside of Kirkuk) that the military was lying to us and the American people about what had happened. Sure enough, my suspicions were correct. The same goes for five from my unit that died just outside of our gates of FOB Marez (Mosul). They died filling the bomber and his truck full of .50 cal bullets, but all of the news press releases from the military gave credit to the Iraqi Police/Army for stopping the bombers truck in order to show that they were taking care of themselves (which is a giant lie!). In fact, the bomber himself was wearing an Iraqi uniform; many of the casualties suffered over there are the result of IP and IA turning on us just like this Muslim in Fort Hood did yesterday.
