I have a question or two about this.
Were you the only soldier left alive?...or were all other soldiers incapacitated?
Where were the other members of your squad or platoon? Why did they not "save" you and what conditions led to your being left alone to a Muslim family to save you?
Was it SpecOps...and if so, under what conditions were you clearly identifiable as a US soldier?
Mind you, I do not want to demean your service. If things happened as you say, as I intended in my last post...God bless you for your service.
I am just somewhat leary of people who come into a strange place and on the first day of their visit there they share such stories...there have been too many others who fraudulently done so and we had, a number of years ago, on this forum that exact thing happen. where people were taken in and ultimatley monies were solicitied and paid to a fraud.
So, forgive me for questioning, but I am interested in knowing how this story you have shared came to be because it would certainly not be the norm.
Forgive me as well while I ping some other members who have much more bonafides than I as to service in uniform to hear your response.
If this isn’t the lone survivor SEAL Marcus Luttrell posting here at FR then I say the post has a high probability of being a drive by form of crap from a rat !
If it ain’t I will apologize !.....don’t think I will have to though .....:o)
DR’s a false flag troll, IMHO. We’ve been down this road with him before.

In the US (at least for now), we are free to join or leave religious groups as we wish, or avoid them altogether, to choose or deny any religions label, or formulate one of our own choosing, so long as our choices and actions do not directly violate the rights of others. That is how I interpret the religious clause of our First Amendment. Our choice of religion, theoretically, is not supposed to affect our ability to seek employment, our level of taxation, where we can or cannot live, or with whom we are allowed to associate.
Whether you and I, and the other 300 million American citizens, share the same religious beliefs is not as important as the fact that we share the common belief in each individual's right to choose for himself or herself how, or whether, to worship.
There have been plenty of examples in the news, and no doubt millions more not published, demonstrating that Islam is not compatible with our Constitutional view of religious freedom. As such, Islam is a threat to our civilization and our freedoms, and is not deserving of protection as a valid religion under our First Amendment. In my not so humble opinion, it is our right, and our duty as Americans, to resist the spread of Islam within our country.
