'We're pinned down:' 4 U.S. Marines die in Afghan ambush

“We will do to you what we did to the Russians,” the insurgent’s
leader boasted over the radio...”

We need to go in full tilt...
or get the h-ll out.

Just as the folks in the Clinton Administration said about the US
involvement in the Balkans, the Obama folks (IF they lose their minds
and spoke the truth) would admit
“Well, it’s the only war we had.”

In other words, Obama needs a war to make sure that as a Democratic stadard
bearer, he at least sort of looks like he’s actually a American...
but he’s draining precious assets, human and materiale, on a war
of dubious value.

Beautifully done.

I will never forget.

Not the sacrifice they made for our country.

Not the REMF's who betrayed them.

Let them fight or get them the hell out.

Don’t waste our soldiers lives for pc bs. I hate our America hating government.

Rest in peace and may God comfort your families.

“U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines — despite being told repeatedly that they weren’t near the village.”

There needs to be an investigation and if the ROE is the cause then those that put it in place MUST be held accountable.

btttt ...

[armymarinemom]

Must be the damn army refusing artillary and air support.

Please cut that out.

[Kimmers]

Any military deaths now I directly blame Obama and the people who voted for him.....I cannot forgive them
