      Last night on Fox News I heard one bereaved parent say that our littlest president joe biden did not only glance at his watch when his son's coffin was marched out but he did the same (methinks when each time recovering from a hand salute) each and every time the coffins of the other 12 heroes were marched forth one at a time.
      Me dino supposes little joe was looking forward to an ice cream cone he wanted to catch. Curious minds want to know what flavor it was.
      A mother there who had lost a son said she spoke to little joe just to hear him carry on more about his own son~~you know, the crackhead "earner" for the Big Guy Career Politician's Quid Pro Quo Crime Family.
      Me dino now waits for little joe and his flunkies to crow about how speedily and efficiently they got our military out of Afghanistan.
      Wonder if me dino is feeling very pissed right now. Naw, not me. Why should I? Everything is just peachy in Amerika.

    Where exactly are they "protecting" American freedoms? Afghanistan?
    They are following illegal, immoral orders and waging war in countries where there is no reason to do so.
    If they were protecting American freedom they would be investigating the 2020 elections and assuring that
    it was valid. They would be defending the borders of America, not invading near defenseless countries on
    orders from looting politicians who are controlled by enemies of America.

    There is no honor in getting killed by following unconstitutional orders.

      It's the Government, it's not the fault of the Troops. They thought they were engaging America's enemy on their own turf.
      This tribute is not to Government, the global delete, it's the tribute to those that have gotten caught up in the middle of all this.

        While I have respect for those who do defend freedom, I do not offer trophies or tribute to those who just follow (immoral) orders. Would you praise those military who followed orders to sink the ships of Ragnar Danneskjöld?

          They shot bad guys...whether or not they should have shot bad guys in another country or not is not the issue, although you are saying it is, I support your right to say that, But, those that lost their lives were obviously not taught about our constitution...they were only told of the honor in defending it....and in that, I solute them.

          The military probably has the same percentage of the awakened as private society has.

      FFA, please don't shoot the messengers. Instead, shoot those cowards who sent them. Most of our young military has never been taught what this country stands for and they follow orders because that's what boot camp taught. They honestly believe the higher ups know what they are doing. That young medic is home now, just 15 miles from where I live. I am sickened by his death and the reason for it. I honor his dedication to doing what most young people revile, being a lover of one's country.

    Blessings to all the families.

    Epitaph
    By Merrit Malloy



    When I die
    Give what’s left of me away
    To children
    And old me that wait to die.

    And if you need to cry,
    Cry for your brother
    Walking the street beside you.
    And when you need me,
    Put your arms
    Around anyone
    And give them
    What you need to give to me.

    I want to leave you something,
    Something better
    Than words
    Or sounds.

    Look for me
    In the people I’ve known
    Or loved,
    And if you cannot give me away,
    At least let me live on in your eyes
    And not your mind.

    You can love me most
    By letting
    Hands touch hands,
    By letting bodies touch bodies,
    And by letting go
    Of children
    That need to be free.

    Love doesn’t die,
    People do.
    So, when all that’s left of me
    Is love,
    Give me away.

    ThanQ American Woman for teaching me this.

    If the generals and admirals, as some are reporting now, really recommended against closing Bagram and they didn't turn in their rank and resign then they are just as culpable as Obiden.

      The 90 Generals and Admirals I've seen who signed the letter are all retired. For an active duty General or Admiral to sign on to such a thing would be tantamount to resigning, and none of them are that committed apparently. There once was an Air Force Chief of Staff who was committed to the extent that he did indeed resign, but the other 4 stars were lined up to kiss the ring in hopes of being appointed to replace him. The days of Ike, Bradley, Patton, etc. have been gone for a long time IMHO.

    Thanks for posting these. It reminds me that every veteran at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America, for an amount up and including his/her life. Those 13 people had that check cashed :-(
