I agree with that. It took 4 years to destroy NAZI Germany.

Now it will take 25 years to kill a Junior Varsity Muslim Team of Satanists.

Pretty impressive for a “JV Team.”

Good thing Bush got rid of the Senior Varsity. Obama is such a jackass fail.

There was a Penn NG unit that suffered heavy casualties in Ramadi. IEDs mostly, if I recall correctly. Tragic. Now ISIS strolls right in and takes control. Sure many of those guys and others are beyond upset...

Coming from a lying Putinist who never misses his chance to deceptively demean his opponents? That's rich, fool.

That was MY unit...

Our worst day was the day of the Iraqi elections - a Mooj self-detonated right in the line and killed dozens.

But the Iraqis got right back in line and voted, a big purple middle-finger to the Mooj!

My wife and I met a Vietnamese lady the other day who escaped from Vietnam in 1980 when she was 5 years old. She said they had to run across the beach and swim to a boat. The communist were shooting at them so her father took off running down the beach to draw the fire away from his family.

They went to the Phillipines and thought they’d never see him again. A priest, through Divine intervention, somehow got them reunited in Houston several months later.

She told about watching a baby die in it’s mother’s arms on the boat.

She told me how grateful they all are to America and how much they value freedom. She said it breaks her heart to see what America has become and she always tries to tell people how lucky they are to be living here.

She said her father worked odd jobs doing everything he could and paid the government back the cost of the plane ride to the states and the little stipend they were given when they got here. She said her father told her “America has done so much for us. We have to pay it back.”

She met a man when she was 18 who had escaped in 1975. He is now a doctor.

If one pays attention to history and delves deeply; they will find that wars fought by this nation are rarely lost. They are forfeited by a citizenry that doesn’t like the sacrifices it entails and, most of all, by gutless, cowardly, grasping, fawning politicians who make political hay from the blood and sacrifice of our fighting men.

American fighting forces could have, would have, won any and all wars in which they engaged hands down if they had been allowed to do the job they were trained to do.
