    I want us out of there so bad.....

    I just do not understand politics enough to see why we have anything at all to do with this. Not one of our guys lives is worth whatever they have planned over there. All of our efforts will be for nothing in the end. You can train one of my dogs to be a chef before you will raise that area up to civilized and able to care for themselves. This just upsets me so much to hear more of our people's lives have been wasted on that place.

    RIP Marines.

    The only freedom these stone age remnants want is to be left alone and live like they have for thousands of years.

    Leave them be, and bring our troops home.

    Riddick's home town is only 35 miles from where I'm sitting right now.

    My wife was freaking out when she heard they were stationed in Hawaii but no names were given out. Her youngest is somewhere in Helmand Provence Afghanistan and based at Kaneohe Bay.
    I think she spent most of the night waiting for that knock on the door.
    Feel really bad for the families that got it.
