“I heard plenty about how Afghanistan and Iraq were just like Pottery Barn, though.”

I spent four years in Iraq and 12 years supporting Afghanistan deployments yet I have never heard the term “Pottery Barn” used wrt either.

Perhaps I do not patronize the same MSM/fantasy-world-view resources as you.

I respectfully request you refrain from trivializing the efforts, achievements and sacrifices of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan with demeaning and pedantic references. We did something. You did nothing.

“Pottery Barn Rule” is a foreign affairs expression. You could look it up.

I respectfully request you kiss my ass and go do some research.

“We did something. You did nothing.”

I wore the uniform before you were a gleam in your old man’s eye. Now go hump someone else’s leg.

Thank you for your service to our great country. Please know millions of Americans, like me, are GRATEFUL to you and all of our military and your families for the sacrifices you make on behalf of the rest of us. God bless you.
