The public will learn of our progress through daily briefings in writing, and no questions will be answered by military personnel because they’ll be too busy doing what they do: Killing people and breaking things.”

And then, one day, the news of ISIS would end. No more stories as the Islamic assholes go back into their caves for another 400 years. The Crusaders win again.

Thank you.

He returns home on Christmas Day.

You know, people oft forget about the contractors doing dangerous and risky jobs over there, from truck drivers to sensitive positions. Most people think badly about contractors because they heard of Blackwater and are brainwashed by Hollywood movies.

I spent about 80% of the last dozen years building for the armed forces so I know all about prejudiced statements about “contractors” of all sorts. Retired now but still pulling for the teams.

I hate when they report “NATO troops killed”. There is no country called NATO. Six of our guys dead five days before Christmas and Barry is playing golf in Hawaii.

This morning all networks were reporting all six killed were American soldiers.

There’s no Christians (for the most part, Christians must be everywhere) to protect in Afghanistan, what a tragedy and the number is at 6 now which I’m sure someone has already said.

Just damn!!! I am sick of our people dying in those worthless muslim countries. 3,000+ on 9-11 and now over 6,000 in operations in those worthless countries. I am sick of it. I am tired of my fellow troopers dying for nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Let’s be realistic. Let’s nuke the Muslim World. Which cities do you propose?

When we first went in we didn’t have a strategy for winning. If it was done the way Bush wanted to do it we’d be there forever.

The only way to end it is with a few nukes out of Diego Garcia.

Why send airplanes? Just missile the dang place and turn it to glass.

A few of us are war weary. Namely the families of the military.

You are right, Bush would have it to stay there forever. Obongo is the same really. No win. Just misery.

We should just get out of there. The troops are sitting ducks and we are not there to win.

Just get out.
