I did read the letter. The last part of my comment was based on people that I served with. I joined after 9/11 also and we were in a war. But, there were still some guys in waiting to get out "because they didn't join the army to fight". This guy just couldn't take what he signed up for.
i still dont think you read the letter. I dont think any of you read the letter. or you read it with your blinders on. This man was sent to a "war" for the sake of 2 or 12 business ventures, and was used as a pawn. a plastic army man if you will. he signed up to fight for his country. he ended up fighting for haliburton.
It's a shame that our "leaders" won't exhibit the same diplomacy as Gen Mattis...
"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: if you fuck with me I'll kill you all."
That's my view of war. Don't go in willingly but if you pull the trigger, make them regret it for generations
I'm willing to bet I've been there more than him as well. Hell, during the Ft. Hood shooting he was busy with a dinner and telling the democrat union caterers how good they did while throwing a 'shout out' to a Medal of Honor 'winner.' Ranks up there with corpsemen.

Why comment if you didn't read the fucking letter?

I still think we should kill and destroy any place we're sent in to fight. Iraq? Smoking crater. Afghanistan? Desolate wasteland with zero life. Iran? Kill everything breathing. Fuck nation building. If the UN wants to do that, let them but we suck at it. Either fight a war or play hugs and kisses. Special forces and infantry suck at hugs and kisses but kick ass in war.
If you want peace, prepare for war. And not some lame attempt of acting like we are at war. War on a scale that no one can question whether their society would survive a conflict against us. That is how you prevent some wars. Others you have to be as quick and thorough as possible so that you can return to peace. That's how I think our country should operate.
I wonder when we're going to get to read letters from the Bengazi survivors, you know, the ones that have been prohibited from talking to anyone or even being identified. Or from those who helped destabilize Libya and Egypt. Oh wait, that was Obama. Nancy is all for him and his illegal and unconstitutional wars.
Apparently they are over at Walter Reed, and Obama visits them on a regular basis.

I agree. We should have bombed the fuck out of Iraq, not worrying about collateral damage. But that doesn't exactly give people the warm fuzzies, and doesn't look good on CNN 24/7. So, what the next best option?
