It Isn't As If We Didn't Already Know This

RE: It Isn't As If We Didn't Already Know This
-and that when they do......then they need to do the fucking job..rather than use it as an opportunity to pander, grandstand, and funnel money to their criminal friends.
(nothing quite like the realization...while being shot at....that you've been thrown under the bus in order to move the margins a fraction of a percent, grunts get sold out hard.............)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Maybe someday they'll grasp the fact the best way for a nation to support its troops is to not send them to wars that don't need to be fought.

They are not smart enough to understand that.  They believe that tying yellow ribbons around things helps troops.  And they do not want to vote for enough money to be spent to properly care for the injured afterwards, either.  Just tying yellow ribbons around things, and waving flags.  And speaking out against those who don't want troops to be sent into harm's way unnecessarily.

At the start...we were buying body armor (and camelbacks - and basic hand tools which we were required by command to have) out of pocket.  The stores were fully stocked, of course. Anyone remember that? Hey....y'all ever wonder what cooks do when they're deployed...guess what..they don;t cook. They pretend that they were trained to be infantry, but that;s okay, because Mama Brown(and root) is in thew dfac cooking up mongolian barbeque (which is delicious, btw) which they then charge you, John Q Taxpayer...the price of a minor caliphate for.
