My buddy pissed in the prayer washer by accident in Saudi. He thought it was a urinal. He got yelled at (in Arabic) by a few of the locals but that was all. No riots, no death threats.
Saudi Arabia bathrooms don’t have urinals. I think all the men piss sitting or squating. They have a mix of Western style commodes and holes in the floor.
agree we cannot win the war but there are other soldiers form different countries being killed too, Italian soldiers were just killed.
Brit soldiers have took many causalities too.
It’s not those serving which are at fault, every marines and soldier there wants to win, it is the Govts and idiots like NATO which seem to always wants to screw things up.
The military will always win wars those elected or those behind their desks lose the war.
Any elected official that agrees with this, will be committing treason!
More Californians have been killed in the conflict than Italians.
California is second greatest in casualties behind the whole country of Britain, in the middle East conflicts commanded by NATO.
Nope, the cowardly NATO is using our soldiers in hopeless deadly missions while they hide in Europe and reap the benefits of the US shouldering ALL the burden.
you ever served with NATO, served with other troops from other countries.served in Afghanistan or Iraq or any other battle zone recently?
I ask because your comments while maybe true I don’t know are also dismissive of the sacrifice others have given in helping us.
Also do you have the stats to show where all these deaths have come from?
If NATO or the US military offers up US soldiers to Shria, that is the end for the US military. Loyality is a two way street or a no way street.
oh and we asked NATO to help us in our war not NATO asking us in their war.
I do not dismiss the sacrifice other country soldiers are making, so please do not misrepresent my words.
It is a fact that the United States is taking an enormously large number of casualties compared to other NATO countries.
Our politicians are very much at fault— they have bought the globalist koolaide and now use our military as a ‘police force’ and let other countries command them. If you care to read about NATO ROE it is emphasized over and over that our military must meet with d****d LAWYERS and explicitly conduct the engagement based on the laws of foreign countries and what the ‘legal’ team says is ‘legitimate’ war fighting.
Its sickening and we are shamed as a country to let this continue, all the while losing the lives of our husbands, sons, wives and daughters in that miserable country.
I take this news organization with a grain of salt, but they have compiled a couple of casualty lists for middle eastern conflicts.

Having been with NATO and served with other armies and Marines then I have the up most respect for those serving and helping us in our war however as for NATO.
IMHO It is not needed, nor should we be dictated too off them.
NATO should not have been used for there, nor should it have been for Libya which do not even get me started on that.
Met some great guys from other countries over there and they have helped us out a lot, the Brits and Aussies are truly pro’s.
I did and read it as we had to before deployment and patrol plus when we were bored LOL
We are being brainwashed- at least some of us. Damn them and this includes those on our side, expressing some sort of politically correct driven "outrage".
So.....

Robert Spencer: “Will Obama Behead the Qur’an-Burners?”
I wonder what will happen, if whichever people are turned over to Afghans? What if women are turned over to Karzai?
We are being GROOMED.
