Merry Christmas to you and your family Jack! God Bless!
Merry Christmas Jack! Thank you for all that you do and all the knowledge you willingly give!
Thanks Jack. I guess back too fighting pirates.😎🇺🇸
I think Afghanistan should be a lesson to everyone it doesn't matter the quality and honor of the guys on the ground. If the people leading the war from office at home are incompetent the mission will fail.
In the end we where just wasting our time there and the afghan's people time. We were never gonna break the Taliban insurgency. Just like the Vietcong insurgency was never gonna be broken. Military occupations rarely ever work in the end. You can blame generals and political leaders all you want. Building a democratic Afghanistan was never feasible. Especially a society like that.
But hey what do I know I never served. I'm just a civie with an opinion. I just look at history
@@jonathanramos8414It is very telling that insurgences never worked in the pre-modern world, I.e. the world before 1945.
Or that the second that they started, they were crushed .
Something to think about….I wonder what.
..you know
I had that experience with watermelon at the lake when the life guards pulled a drowned person out of the lake and I can’t eat it again ever again
Let's get a perichaine beard. I could where it around my neck yeah. Charlie 😎🇺🇲
