#11. "Thanks to you, Reuters (and the rest of the anti-American MSM)"

That's why they're known as the enemedia.

Prayers for your grandson-in-law. You're right - it's the troops that risk their lives every day outside the wire. My son was one of them. Frankly, his CO was dumb as a post. When he did go outside the wire, he had air support, about 10 Bradleys and anything else he could authorize. AND always caused problems for the troops who were out there everyday and night. Thank God the platoon LT's and platoon Sgt.'s had more sense than he did. "Hands tied", good lady, is the honest truth!

yea my grandson-in-law told me his CO was dumb too. So the high up do not always know what is going on and the grunts do. Hey and the other guys had the same opinion. The CO had to be at a different location and they were very glad.
