Just received this from my brother. Not a Merry Christmas for these guys.
Just sending this along.

urgent message

We are asking everyone to say a prayer for "Darkhorse" 3rd Battalion 5th
Marines

and their families.

They are fighting it out in Afghanistan & they have lost 9 marines in 4
days.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE the message spread if more could pass it on.


Semper Fi, God Bless America and

God Bless the United States Marine Corps...



Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever.

went to jail.

Now she's getting it all over again for failing her drug test.

But: Nothing in the media about these guys because no one seems to care:

All are Marines that gave their lives for YOU this week.

Honor THEM by forwarding this. I just did.

...Yep...agree. Imho...Washington's brilliance in developing methods for rebuilding downtrodden societies = pounding a square peg into a round hole...is beyond comprehension....:roll:. ...And to think of the salaries that these foreign policy idiots are being rewarded with.....turns ones' stomach, no matter which political party they belong to....
There are incredibly tough battle scenarios and then there will be victorious battles, but it's never too late to pull out of strategic blunders..... All the media crap about how "the enemy" will think we're a coward when one pulls out...is just so much mental excrement....meant to fuel pretty low level minds & opinions and fuel weapons contractors' profits, nothing more. As if, in this world of wireless communications, Iraq and Afghanistan had anything to do with 9/11.
...just my $.01
