re: Pentagon's New Strategy for Defeating ISIS. LONG

I figured some military guys would read this thread and I just wanna say thank you. I know sometimes this board acts like military guys and gals get thanked too much and such, yes, I've read many threads on that. I work alongside many veterans and old friends of mine that fought in Iraq or Afghanistan. None of them brag about it and hardly ever even talk about it unless you ask them. Even the one's who were in military but never fought, they don't try to act like they did or makeup war stories like so many people make remarks saying they do. To the guys that did fight over there, I can't imagine the horror of not knowing who is enemy and who isn't, is that coke bottle a bomb or not, etc.

Pretty crazy how our military went thousands of miles away, in the ME, with so many people against the war in Iraq, and still put up with all the turmoil in a country where many people didn't want them there, and kicked arse. Politics aside, we are lucky to live in a country like ours. I hope we never lose another soldier in the middle east, or yet anywhere.
