My son is in that mix of men and equipment. Stay alert, guys.
maybe they are losing it, maybe they are regrouping. Maybe they are having issues in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but this is a worldwide terror org. We must not let our guard down.
I had meant to ask you were your son ended up. Now I don't have to ask the question.
Hope everyone over there stays safe!!!
"We're number one" loses some of its psychological impact under those conditions.
Worth repeating.
Stay alert, guys.
Thanx. It's been a very severe winter in A-Stan. Before the meet their replacements, they are still conducting patrols and delivering tons of school and other supplies to all the districts of Zobul Province. He sent some pics the other day and I just love to look at the faces of the Afghan people.
They are constantly getting intell. One thing is certain, the warlords still control much of SE A-Stan. Of course that different than AQ.
While I would like to believe what the general has to say, I think a lot of it is wishful thinking because they have not caught him.
Diminishing is good. But only "dead" means the war is over.

God it would be something else if a freepers son iced Osama.
No attacks in the US since 9/11.
Osama et al reduced to a VIDEO TAPE prior to the 2004 election.
The facts speak for themselves, but work remains. It will ALWAYS remain.
I think he has harbored those thoughts and I've told him to, "just calm down!"
He has an Infantry Platoon with the 25th I D and he's very proud of them.
Impossible. Everyone knows that al Qaeda recruiting has skyrocketed since Bush invaded Iraq.
Keep stacking them up till they don't exist.
What he is doing is vital for this country's safety and for the world.
For a picture of these butchers and their intent see this:
thanks. Here is an edited email he sent about 10 days ago:
Things are starting to wind down for us here. Talking about redeployment back to hawaii has gotten everyone excited about getting back. There is so much stuff to do you can't even imagine. I remember redeploying back from Kosovo and it was a pain in the ass. All the property handover, inventories, and inspections; sometimes it makes me wish we could go back to just doing combat missions. We are still doing those by the way. We won't stop until the day we move back to KAF. Our tentative date for that is . . . . From there we will conduct final equipment inspections and turn-in and catch a C-130 back to Manus AFB, Kyrgzstan. I should be back in time for . . . . birthday on the . . th. It's hard to concentrate on the mission when all this preparation is going on. Our S2 keeps getting word of
a spring offensive against us. The winter was horrible not only for us but for the enemy as well. They are eager to come back at us with . . . . .. My platoon is doing well. It sounds corny but I feel honored to have led them.
While the Taliban has slowed the past couple of months, we have concentrated on humanitarian missions. It comes to no surprise but we can do that and drive on with our regular missions, too. The UN and all the other organizations get the aid here in country, but do not have the capacity or security to deliver it evenly to the people. We have distributed thousands of tons of food and school supplies to all the districts in our province (Zabul). The people are generous and welcome us wherever we go. Things are looking up for the people but we definitely cannot stop now. ok that is all for now i will give you an update later. love, . . .
Thanks for sharing that with us....
That has to be one of the stupidest comments regarding Al Qaeda I've seen in quite a while.
