Am I Ready To Leave Afghanistan? You Bet I Am.

As I continue to read about last week’s  funeral of Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr.
This story and stories like this just brings tear to my eyes. We see these brave young Men & women as well put their lives on the line in that Hell Hole called Afghanistan day after day without any questions, without asking why, leaving their families, loved ones and their jobs to serve their Country.  Our Country, the Country that they loved and the Country that we love.  Why do they do this?  Why them and not so many others?
They do it protect us and our Country from the enemy, from the people who waht to see us dead and who want to bring down this wonderful Country that they are so jealous of. And they do so with out hesitation, and without asking who our president is or why is he sending them there. 
So why do they continue to do this? 
Perhaps it’s because Marines are extraordinary people.  People who are willing to do whatever it takes in the name of freedom and to protect the Country and the ones they love.  God Bless them all & the families that support them.
Thank you Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr. and thank all of you Brave Service Man and Women  who have the dedication and have the will to sacrifice all you have to keep us all safe here at home, and for all that you have done for us.
And by the way, Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr was among six other U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan in two separate shootings within the past 24 hours of his death.  SIX OTHERS, these are not just numbers these are American soldiers, with families just like ours.   BUT, here is where I'm confused. In the past, when an American soldier has killed Afghans, it has become a HUGE and headline international incident. A incident that requires our President and or our Secretary of State and our General to speak out about it, to issue a formal apology, to the people of Afghanistan, and to the  Afghan President the soldier who did the shooting is brought up on charges and is punished severely. 
But not in cases such as this.  Not when the shoe is on the other foot.   Are our Soldiers so dispensable that we don’t even hear any outcry for the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, and other Afghan leaders?  Why is it that when this happens in reverse the all  become so damn outraged and demanded justice?  As do our Main Stream Media?

Why is that the recent outbreak of killing these U.S. servicemen by Afghan’s in sheeps clothing produces no such outrage! Where is the outcry from Karzai, and OUR OWN leaders for justice?
And why is our own Media so damn sadly silent. Is it because Afghan lives are more important than the lives of our own Service Men? And if I sees this, why don’t our own Media see it?.
It is time for our President and the rest of our leaders and our Media to stand up for our own Brave Soldiers and their families who are being slaughter for no damn reason.  How many times have we read about Obama sending letters of apology to the  Afghan president?
This has been the 4th time in recent weeks that I have read a story like this one and I like many of you are sick of it. I’m beginning to think that anybody who is still willing to fight these winless wars  for Obama or for anyone else is a fool. If we are willing to send our young Brave people there then we should be fighting for them. We have been fighting this war to protect a criminal government, for lawless leaders for over 10 years now, for a country who don’t give a crap about America or American lives.  And all we hear about is the torture and murder of foreign troops, and not too damn much about the torture and murder of OUR troops.
Since the beginning of this year alone, there have been at least 16 such waste less attacks against American and other coalition troops in incidents other than combat.. It’s about time that we quit worrying about everyone elses problems and start worrying about our own.  God knows that we have enough of our own.
BUT, if we are going to fight, then like Harry Truman said, "Carry the battle to them, don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything."  Fight to win, we certainly have the weapons and the capability.
But I am sure Obama will fix this shortly, perhaps on his next Bow and Apologize tour!

They behead Americans and we apologize? They burn American bodies and hang them from their bridges and we apologize?   They burn our Flag and we apologize.  And we can’t even use the term “Terrorists” And we can’t show the 9-11 attack on the World Trad Cent on TV because w might offend them.  Did we ever get an apology from the Muslims for the attack on September the 11th?
And Obama want’s to change the 9-11 attack to “A National Day of Service" Why?  So that we don’t offend them?  Why not offend them?  Who the hell cares?  What are we ashamed of?   Why not just call it "Socialist Day"
Semper Fi and God Bless Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr. and his family. And the other who have suffered similar loses.
