My nephew is due to deploy to he suck in March...As a new E-4 he has some additional responsibilities and I am extremely confident in him and his unit and officers...
We talk about the stuff we can on the phone, but these new ROE’s concern me, yet i’m sure we’ll talk about them when he visits next month...
This, I believe, will be the last major deployment of Marines to Afghanistan...
But who knows...I knew tjis deployment would have dynamics that would make these guys a bit more exposed to scrutiny, politically and socially from the Afghan people...
We’ll just have to hope their exposure is limited and adjusted for the increase in vunerabilities...
As America's _Resident cuts and runs like a girl, to nullify the accomplishments of his predecessor, all the Afghans must now adjust.
Since we're leaving anyway, all the Afghans will come to the airport, shoot at the airplanes as they fly away, and then lie to their grandchildren that they drove us off just as the great Bin Laden had foretold them, after he killed our people in droves in New York for ignoring the Call to Faith.
