Watched this yesterday. Worth the time.
Interesting Marine/former Marine.
He’s right, why should we be allowing Iraqi’s free travel to the USA , when its unsafe for any American to walk the streets in Iraq?
The NOT NOW instruction would be for freepers like me who don’t belong to facebook.
Facebook freepers will automatically be able to view, I think.
I am an optimist, but if he has accurately described the situation on the ground there would seem to be no justification for continuing a U.S. presence in Iraq. It will have been a missed opportunity made tragic by the loss of American lives.
Why can’t the democrats understand what the marine is saying?
Cognitive dissonance.
They already have a feeling in their heads that a contrary truth cannot abide with.
Steven Gern had to be evacuated from Iraq Saturday because of death threats over his video. Go to his FB page. He put up another video of him on an empty plant being flown elsewhere.
Actually Gern was flown on an empty plane not an empty plant. :-)
Sorrry to hear that Steven Gern had to leave, but it goes to show just how insidious is the continuing interaction between free citizens of our country and peaceful Muslims.
Why do not 100% of people get it, its hardly rocket science.?
It ‘probably’ had happened before but we sort of ‘blew it’ (again) when we were in Kuwait, helping to stave off an Iraqi (or Irani??) invasion into Saudi Arabia and the gracious hosts in SA wanted our Chaplains out of the country or did not want them wearing their symbols.
“Love me, Love my Priest, Rabbi, Minister etc etc and WHOMEVER may tend to my flock of troops who are willing to die to save your bacon.” (Did that wizz you off? Good).
Yet, we ‘obeyed’ and removed people rather than tell them to pound salt...
No better than LBJ and his handling of the Pueblo & Liberty crises.
As much as I admire President R Reagan, I find it hard to ‘forgive’ him when it came to the Marine Barracks Beirut when the troglodytes were firing at the INTERNATIONAL rescue workers that were trying to retrieve the injured and dead.
That hillside should have been leveled. The New Jersey was off shore as were several other USN Firing Platforms.
Agreed!
We should have been salting their earth from the get go!
That’s all they understand.
