Well luckily the technological gap has been bridged. Good luck in the future.
What a shame our men died for nothing.
So walls work?🤔 interesting
900 tank rounds a day 😂 (and I doubt it was tanks, rather Bradleys)
Russians are firing 70.000 rounds per day 😊
What would you say if you'd fought such army as russ?
You had fought a bunch of hobos on the bikes not an army
If you wanna know how the hell looks like go straight to Eastern Ukraine now
I remember doing mounted patrols through Laghman Province Afghanistan in 2012
As I vet who spent 18 mo in Afghanistan & was wounded I can say it was all for nothing. The way we left was hurtful , painful , & embarrassing.
Ima just an average guy
Thank you for your service.❤❤
I fought in Real Combat against United States Military Forces with BBC TV reporters video taping the Fake staged event to make it Legal copying Same Tactics World Wide Forever 100% Legally
Hoooahh!
shame on usa
Well Afghans didn't want it enough, did they?
These guys are playing real life command and conquer.
Iran put a hit out on John Bolton
Iran put a hit out on John Bolton?
Apparently I have more in common with Iran than I had previously realized. 🤣
I was in Kirkuk this same year. Crazy times
Muqtada al-Sadr is still terrorizing Iraqi politics to this day.
He was largely supported by Iran.
He terrorized the local populaces for the high crimes of selling food to US soldiers.
To be specific, he murdered and maimed innocent men, women, and children the same way Hamas did on October 7th.
Without Iranian support, he becomes nothing. The Iranian people do not care about his extreme religious views.
We have an opportunity to support the people of Iran and make amends to the Iraqi's. I only hope we do the right things and in the right ways this time.
mocktodder el sodder, you heard it here first
People don't care about vets it's been obvious for decades. Don't act like you do
