There must of been someone on the ground clearing the targets.

They said you are cleared to engage the vehicle. Look to the west for hot spot. That's the cave opening. Cleared to engage.
You hope that's what's going on. It's very easy to believe and just obey the voice in the headset...

I'm a voice of dissent not because I don't respect the soldier's job- quite the opposite! I'm sick and fucking tired of watching good men go to 'war', just so other men can profit. I only want to see American lives, in uniform or out, put at risk for good and necessary causes, not merely to pump the body count for the next congressional budget hearing.

Spent about 2 years there over 4 trips. Females have a very low value in Muslim cultures and especially over there. A mother cannot discipline her son because she is a woman, that is across all practicing Muslims even seen it with the Turks in Germany! Some houses we hit the man had mud walls and floors yet he had 3 wife's and not much else. To marry a woman you usually offer something of value to the father. Women are objects in their culture and daughters hold very very little value as children.

What I say isn't bias or ignorance it is information deduced from observation. As many times as I've been shot at by a man standing in a croud or behind his own family I'd say for sure its exceptable as they were exploiting out ethics. It was directed as an option to use for our enemy. Just as it was directed to have your children dig holes for IEDs and women transporting explosives.

Where is your information on how it is there, gained from?
People like yourself. Thank you for telling it like it is, brother. I'm man enough to say when I'm wrong. It appears I'm ascribing western values to a place that operates without them.

I have heard this from my husband's friend.

The people are literally dirt poor and the women are treated like dogs.

It's sad.

I saw the same article this morning & think it's a terrific start, but truthfully I think I'll let a few others test the AK VA waters first.
I don't have a med card because I don't feel I should have to pay the state for the "privilege" to grow less plants than our state constitution allows me to under our right to privacy clause.
