Squad Pack Serves 8-10 Troops CLICK HERE	Platoon Pack Serves 15-20 Troops CLICK HERE

Inside the care packages are a number of items that the troops have asked for over the years, including sunscreen, Gatorade, deodorant, coffee, cookies and much more. The temperatures are soaring in the Middle East and the Gatorade is very refreshing for our overheated troops, who sweat under heavy body armor and helmets while lugging heavy weapons.

You can be part of this historic effort by tuning into the Troopathon, sponsoring a care package with a personal note, and remembering our troops during the hot summer days.

Well although I dont agree with the Americans checking out, at least not us. But I wholeheartedly agree THe Commander in Chief did. No Doubt.

If the Obama regime isn't going to support the troops then they need to be pulled from the field. Let the democrats face the consequences of losing the war. I don't want to see Americans get killed because the criminal-in-chief left them hanging only to be killed with ridiculous and dangerous rules of conflict that doesn't allow them to return fire at the enemy.

Always a great morale booster for the people who are actually fighting these wars to know that the folks at the top are incredibly clueless and stupid.

Evweryone knows that the McC dustup was more about zero’s ego than McC’s ability to prosecute the war.

And, our enemies in Afghanistan know that, despite the blather from zero, come summer of 2011, they will have a free ride to do whatever they want.

US invests in Brazil oil company Petrobras 224Bil through 2014

This is what the Pentagon is busy doing-- studies for investment potential?

June 2010

A Pentagon team, working with geologists and other experts, has shared its data with the Afghan government, and is working with the Afghan Ministry of Mines to prepare information for potential investors in hopes of placing some mineral exploration rights up for auction within the next six months. Afghan officials said they believed that the American estimates of the value of the mineral deposits — nearly $1 trillion — were too conservative, and that they could be worth as much as $3 trillion.

here we have McChrystal ( a liberal) focusing his carreer on trying to avoid the political mistakes he learned about in Vietnam, frustrated and trying his best to save the lives of every single soldier in the field, caught joking around about the "system" that gets our troops, our kids KILLED.

......then along comes a liberal reporter to expose the "horrible obama administration bashing" by the McKrystal staff

so instead of sucking it up like a man, Obama fires him,,...... wisdom at its finest

MAF’s third annual Troopathon is now only ONE WEEK away, and we need your support more than ever! We just came back from a trip to Iraq last week, and the troops there are wondering if we have forgotten about them.

I heartily agree with people supporting the troops as much as they can.

But this is a little sensationalist. Troops in Iraq don't feel forgotten. They don't like Obama, but for the most part, they see Iraq as a victory and are enthusiastically embracing the drawdown of forces and the upcoming Operation New Dawn beginning September 1.

Not withdrawal, drawdown.

As for Afghanistan, I can't speak firsthand, but friends of mine who are stationed there aren't echoing the strong demoralization that is being represented. They are, however, somewhat frustrated with the leadership and the direction things have been going.

We all knew BO would be this way. Our fight to defeat the left is our best way of supporting America’s war heroes. That might sound cheezy, but I think it’s McChrystal clear now.
