(I hope this wont go "political"...certainly no one party or administration is to blame. )
The news and pictures coming out of Kabul today give me a lot of sadness. It takes me back to my feelings in April of 1975 when Saigon fell.
In both cases, the US military was given a goal that was probably not reachable...to correct by military means a problem that was political, religious, cultural, and economic.
To put it crudely, they gave us a hammer and asked us to debug the software.
My brothers and sisters who served there, try to remember one thing...we tried.
Just wanted to pass this along to anyone else that was not aware that there is a website for us military folks to get discounts on travel. Check out americanforcestravel.com
Thought I'd mention that Forum Sponsor @Threedom has come up with an assortment of JL/JT Key Lock Caps that many past or present Military guys/gals will like/will want on their JL/JT.
I plan on getting a set of the US NAVY one's for my Son who is career NAVY.
I have the Threedom, Tread Design Key Lock Caps ..... Real nice! Threedom offers many different designs on the caps.. Paw prints, Tread, Fire Fighter .... etc..
Happy Veterans Day to all my brothers and sisters who have served, and "Welome home!" To all of those who have taken up the mantle and are currently serving to defend this great bastion of freedom, "Stay strong, stay safe, and thank you!"
