I can't say I'm surprised that this is all happening. Right now I'm just sad and frustrated.

I feel like the GWOT is the millennial generations Cold War, and that Iraq and Afghanistan is their Vietnam.
I feel as though the Bush administration dropped the ball here. Instead of 130k troops in Iraq, those 130k should have been partnered with the 100k already in Afghanistan, and we should have marched from the western border, and killed every fucking military aged male in that fucking country, and then exported a bunch of Americans to come in and occupy Afghanistan.
Barring that I feel that after Osama Bin Laden had been found and killed, we should have immediately pulled out of Afghanistan.
The American people, even conservatives, do not have the stomach for what needs to be done.
We should contract with Venezuela for their oil, and make it so that we are oil free by 2040.
Then tell Saudi Arabia to get fucking bent. Put out a warning that another attack on the US, or its citizens is going to result in the complete annihilation of Medina via Fuel Air Explosives. And if that doesn't work, a second Nuclear attack on fucking Mecca's Kabaa and make the Hajj impossible for generations. With coordinated strikes in Tehran and other Moslem capitals in every fucking country.
They want to live by stone age laws, let's send 'em back to the stone age.
I am fucking done with this shit.

SFC Michael Peterson - Yeah, you got me. I am a violent felon, running around robbing and pillaging. The conviction is for battery, not for robbery. Some dude, like you, stepped out of line, and I adjusted his head space and timing. Your description of me as a "violent felon" is also indicative of your fear. Put up or shut up.
Your invitation was incomplete, without the willingness to make it happen it is simply an empty gesture between you and me. You saying something to sound tough, without any real intention of following through.
I got into one time on active duty while in the Navy, and I will tell you the same thing I told that dip shit. When I do stuff I do it in the open, that way everyone knows what happened and you can't run around saying shit happened that did not happen.
And that is what you were hooping for, everyone on the internet knows it. You were hoping I would back down, like you are doing now. The willingness to meet me face to face ends at you actually trying to do it.
You are all bark and no bite. Still haven't told me how many fights you have been in, and I am guessing none, because a bar fight usually ends in a conviction. The only reason mine was a felony, is because i broke the guys jaw. Hence the great bodily injury.

My invitation is complete. I’m not sending you money for airfare because I know you’re all talk and, you wouldn’t show up anyway. You’d just pocket the cash and brag about what sucker I was. Besides, I’m not your momma so, it’s not my responsibility to support you. Buy your own damn ticket.
I’m not backing down from anything. I never offered to pay your airfare. I only invited you to come continue our conversation in person. Apparently, you think that makes my obligated to pay your way. I disagree.
Your story about breaking some guy’s jaw doesn’t impress, or scare me. I bet you are either twice his weight or, you sucker punched him when he wasn’t looking. You look a little on the heavy side and, guys that talk shit like you usually don’t fight fair.
Yeah, blah blah, woof woof. I’m shaking in my boots. Whatever shit stain.

SFC Michael Peterson - You can purchase a refundable ticket.
If you really want me to come you will pay the airfare.
At this point I have made my point, I think you are just trying to have the last word.

My last word is “fuck off, I’m not buying your ticket”. If you think you’re so bad, buy it yourself. I’m here. I won’t respond to any further posts that don’t include an arrival date. Otherwise, I’ll just ignore you, knowing you’re just a fucking loudmouth shit stain that doesn’t back up his shit talking. The only point you made is, you’re an idiot who thinks he’s something special. Well, I think you’re a little “special” too.

I say we need to get educated about why this happened in the first place. Why did 9/11 happen? OBL literally told us. So go read what he said. It's because he saw our bombs dropped on Lebanon in 1982 and he wanted to do the same to us. I was born a decade after that war even happened--still, I want to know the truth. Iraq happened because Israel didn't like a strong neighbor. That's all it was. I want truth. Not to bathe in lies and "hasbara." Please read, folks. Look up "john perkins confessions of an economic hitman."

Why we try to fix countries that have nothing to offer us as a country. Every time we "fix" these places, they become our enemy. We do repetitive wars expecting different results. Our politicians don't seem to get it

I didn’t serve in Afghanistan I retired before I got a chance. But I have lots of buddies who did. And it really hits home when u see ur fellow vets feeling down because of such shameful act. But in the end it’s not up to us to dictate policy. But it is up to us to vote out the incompetent politicians in Washington.

It is extremely frustrating to see just how far the 'far left' 'snowflake' mentality has taken our foreign policy. In order to appease the noisey micro minority, and the similarly minded media, we've allowed a foul up of colossal proportions to take place. I cannot place the blame anywhere except on the senior leadership of the govt's bending to this clearly naive group of people who, I am assuming, have never been in the 'real world'. It disgusts me.
