    On July 4th 2012.....we had 5 of our Troopers shot in the back and killed by an Afghan Security Member. The following week we lost 6 troopers in a Tank from a IED. Now just the Other day we lost another from Rockford Illinois. All US Troopers.



    They WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN! Heaven was needing some More Heroes. Huah!

    What have we gained by the whole ME war thing? ME stability for oil and being there for Israel? Our lives lost are not even close to being worth it!

    I understand the feeling Birddog. As I hear it we lost two more yesterday. That the Taliban is having a surge and or more pressure put on us than before.

    Feel free to add to the Tribute to those who have served and for all those.....who Gave Everything!

    No one talks about the war in Afghanistan any more as we approach the November election. Americans are dying almost every day. For nothing.

    Yeah.....and the what really bothers me. Is Our Troopers being Shot in the Back. Stabbed in the back. What makes it worse is we knew the Afghanis were never Honorable in the first play.

    What we should have done is never Negotiated with the Taliban to give them an Office in Qatar. Plus lets not forget Obama is releasing some of their prisoners who will go Right back out there with the intention of killing Americans.

    One thing I do know. If I can walk up Right behind Karzai. Or Abdullah of the Saud. I would take my boot and put if off into their Azz. Then dare them to do something about it. Other than hawk up a luggie.

    I am appreciative every day to those who have served, and who serve. Some of us Veterans continue to serve in Veteran's organizations to help Veterans and their family.

    I recall most those who died from burns. The smell and picture remains.
