Thanks for your service. Stay safe over there and hope your deployment is a short one.

Good luck Gare.

I'll keep you in my thoughts, man.

Good luck. Be sure to walk around with ILS constantly so you can give some extra intimidation to the Taliban getbig style. You will be added to my list for this.

I know noone on here knows me very well, but I'm telling everyone tonight, so I thought I would share with all of you.

I have been recalled to active duty with the Army and am headed to Afghanistan. My MOS is Cavalry Scout and I'm being assigned to an Armored unit.

Anyone else get any orders? Maybe we'll meet.

What exactly is it that we are fighting for?

With any war or conflict, there are always people who dont understand and would rather put there head in a hole like an ostrich when it is thousands of miles away from them. But in our world, what happens there will eventually affect us here. I have great respect for our fighting men and women in our military, who are called upon to take care of situations that, if not accomplished or if taken too lightly, will drastically hurt us.

Take care of yourself, and use their computers there to keep on writing. I would like to know how you are doing.

Find some good bros to hang with and hit the weights.

If you see any of the guys that attacked the US, please kill them... oh wait, they are all already dead.

Well it's been a complete failure. The Taliban is still there and ready to take control the moment we leave. Bin Laden laughing in his cave in his Pakistan.
Sorry, the whole thing has been a disaster and soldiers are dying for nothing at all but Bush's mistakes and ego.

It isn't over yet. Our guys are still fighting for us and YOU. SO, thank them for their service and move on. Get over your hatred for Pres Bush. It will serve you no good. It's folks like you who preach nothing but dome and gloom...

I love the "oh the troops are protecting us and if they retreat terrorists are gonna kill us all!!!"

Al Qaida and whatnot are still very active and the situation is not getting better when you go on killing sprees at their home turf. Guns and bombs is not gonna get rid of them, staying the fuck out will. If they want to attack USA again, they would've done it by now. But they don't have to, the shockwaves of 9/11 are still vibrating all over the world. Try getting through security at the airport these days to see what I'm talking about. It's disgraceful how the entire western hemisphere have become scared flocks of sheep, agreeing blindly to all the stupid Big Brother security nonsense the government imposes on them. The terrorists have already won, and no amount of bombs is gonna change that.

No I'm not a muslim and I quite frankly hate them. But what I find disgusting is this talk about U.S troops being our "saviors". They just stir up shit and it's gonna hit the fan!

Geez meltdown, I better go take a cold shower.

Yeah, it's strange because I haven't been in the military for about four years. I was assigned to a TRADOC ( Training Unit ) when I was in and never was deployed.

I have no combat experience and have no idea what to expect.

If I am allowed, I will definitely post on here from Afghanistan.

do scouts carry sniper rifles?

what'S your job as a scout in an armored section?

Thank you, sir. Be safe.

Any chance a mod here can delete the political rants? The man is heading in harm's way and doesn't need to read self-serving bullshit.

No, no sniper rifles. No engagement. Recon and call for fire.
