Sure worked in Mogadishu. Our guys got water skiing lessons on pavement there. Bengahazi wasn’t bad either.

1. There is a smart phone app out there that ID's civilian flights in progress over a map. Don't know if military flights are revealed.

2. I always worry about modern airborne operations now that MANPADS are all over the world.

3. Prayers up for our Marines and paratroopers over there.

Anyone ask Susan Rice or Hillary what these “protestors” were “protesting”?

750 troops are not enough to do much against a country.

Is Hillary watching?

Oh wait. She’s blacked out somewhere.

And even better, President Trump doesn’t drag us into stupid wars.

How long has it been since we heard “quagmire”?

Thank you for your service and your grandson’s service to our country. It seems that such heroes are developed within a family. You raised him right.

Prayers for your son. Many of my friends, including myself all have active duty combat kids.
An army without the blessing of God will not survive. Let’s all keep praying. We cannot be there, but Jesus Christ be with them.

Godspeed to your grandson! My son is deploying to a certain non-American island in the next few days. He is with the AF.

President Trump is throwing down the gauntlet - he told Iran they were going to pay and now he’s telling them he’s putting forces in place....no sense in openly making a threat and then skulking around...not to mention that this deployment may also mask other actions...If Iran were to try to capitalize on this, the hammer would come down very hard and fast and they also know it.
