For Chis and other Iraq Vets

My nephew was at centcomm at arijfan watching all of it on the screens.
They called the whole withdrawal slow joes clown show.
My aunt was in her living room in Cedar Falls watching the bachelor. She called it an amazing show.
 
I can confirm parts of this story. There are other details that I could add. I watched the attackers getting blown up while manning my position. I didn't hesitate in moment and nearly was in a problematic position.

I was in that dining hall with BTN commander when shit went sideways.

Iraq 2 should have never happened. It came down to a personal vendetta. And it contributed to American cynicism. But I honor all those that served. They were all warriors. Including a few on this board.

We had just pulled up and convoyed to Kuwait to prepare to wash rack the fleet and clean the equipment so it could be shipped back. I don't remember exactly the day we left but within a week or 2 of that skirmish.
 
None of you pretender wannabe phucks were on the streets clearing houses/buildings day after day. Your asses never came out from “behind the wall!”
 
Most people, liberal and conservative, would rather forget about this war. But it contributed to the mess we’re into now.

Did you see any of the loose animals from Sadaam's private zoo? There were were still cougars when I got there. Scared the shit out of me at night when they appeared out of nowhere
Thankfully I did not see any zoo animals while I was there. If they were there they were hiding. I was in almost every square inch of BIAP.

When I got there the insurgency shit hadn't started, so traveling around wasn't to bad.

By July that changed.

Maga questions support for a country that is fighting another that points nukes at us. But in 2003 if you didn't support invading a country that posed 0 threat to America you were un-American.

I actually apologize for my post. I saw that sweet reel of that kid with the finger pistol and couldnt find a thread to post it in.

Thank you for your service

No need to apologize or thank your for service. I wasn't looking for that. It just blew my mind when someone sent my link. If I recall correctly the 13th is the 21st anniversary of us getting Sadaam out of his rat hole, which I know our BTN was doing some of comms for. I know we supported 4th ID in his capture

Dont forget, we need to end the endless wars!...the endless wars the maga party started that cost thousands of American lives and weren't paid for.

But arming Ukraine with 0 Americans in harms way for a fraction of the US defense budget? Nah, can't do that.
