Our grandson is starting his 7th year in the army, 5 of them have been overseas. 3 tours in the middle east, and now in Japan with the prospect of Korea awaiting him.My step dad was career army infantry,I was also in the service as an infantry men.Why the hell do we we have our troops scattered all over the world?These "kill em with kindness wars are killing us"We should NEVER have gone into Iraq, and we dis what we had to do in afganistan, we beat the snot out of the taliban and alkida, and now were spilling our futures blood over nothing!Dont give me that "fighting terorists"crapola, do what the russians did or ther germans, fight back using more terror.Does anyone know what pax romana meant? it meant you kill a roman, prepare for some serious pain.Over here we showwer them money.A few fuel gas bombs over those mountains would make believers out of those folks.
