Oh I'm sorry to hear of your friend's loss. He probably enlisted with intent to protect America and Americans and then got sent over to do "security work" for another country. Next thing ya know...he's fucked. A horrible, horrible state of affairs.
And believe me, I know how good I have it. I specifically elected to operate a business that did not involve shooting and killing other people or handling explosives. Knowing that I won't lose any body parts in my line of work is a real plus, for sure!
Earth to Barman.....come in Barman. You have so many complaints about Afghanistan but no proposal to fix it. Every single thread exposes you for a communist fraud. Give us the answers Barman. Make me smarter. Enlighten me on what we should do differently.
This is typical left rhetoric though. Bitch and moan about this and that and gays are wronged and religion shouldn't be in a courtroom and blah, blah blah but offer no solutions.
Offer us a solution ole' wise one.

The guy hates our servicemembers serving overseas. He hates people that try to kill terrorists and prevent them from coming to America to kill our American families. Yesterday, he made fun of a post about a military member severly injured in a bomb attack in Afghanistan. He is anti-American, anti-government and is a true hate monger in every sense of the word. He can't articulate in a structured sentence how he'd handle Afghanistan differently yet hates everything Republican. I think he's Canadian.
So which is he a commy or a canuck? I don't think he hates the people in the milatry just how are military is used. I might be wrong but I also don't think r boys should be over there anymore as I've priviously stated no disrespect for the soliders more for the comanders n politicions that let these wars continue to go on
No, he's made it pretty obvious how much he hates the military members. Should we be in Afghanistan? That's not for me to determine. And let me correct you...commanders have no say in how long we're sitting in a war zone. Do they have input? Yes. Do they get asked how things are going? Yes. Do they make the decision to stay or go? Absolutely not.
I was always convinced that marijuana was a totally harmless drug. And then I encountered Nimue. It was then that I learned that after a certain number of bonghits a smoker might begin to believe that the American government would engineer a plot to have Muslims hijack several planes and murder thousands of its own citizens. That must be why they call it Dope.
Good lord, are you serious? From the National Commssion on Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.:
According to KSM, the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam marked a watershed in the evolution of the 9/11 plot. KSM claims these bombings convinced him that Bin Ladin was truly committed to attacking the United States. He continued to make himself useful, collecting news articles and helping other al Qaeda members with their outdated computer equipment. Bin Ladin, apparently at Atef's urging, finally decided to give KSM the green light for the 9/11 operation sometime in late 1998 or early 1999
KSM then accepted Bin Ladin's standing invitation to move to Kandahar and work directly with al Qaeda. In addition to supervising the planning and preparations for the 9/11 operation, KSM worked with and eventually led al Qaeda's media committee. But KSM states he refused to swear a formal oath of allegiance to Bin Ladin, thereby retaining a last vestige of his cherished autonomy
At this point, late 1998 to early 1999, planning for the 9/11 operation began in earnest. Yet while the 9/11 project occupied the bulk of KSM's attention, he continued to consider other possibilities for terrorist attacks. For example, he sent al Qaeda operative Issa al Britani to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to learn about the jihad in Southeast Asia from Hambali. Thereafter, KSM claims, at Bin Ladin's direction in early 2001, he sent Britani to the United States to case potential economic and "Jewish" targets in New York City. Furthermore, during the summer of 2001, KSM approached Bin Ladin with the idea of recruiting a Saudi Arabian air force pilot to commandeer a Saudi fighter jet and attack the Israeli city of Eilat. Bin Ladin reportedly liked this proposal, but he instructed KSM to concentrate on the 9/11 operation first. Similarly, KSM's proposals to Atef around this same time for attacks in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Maldives were never executed, although Hambali's Jemaah Islamiah operatives did some casing of possible targets
