I laughed at they told him he’s stupid because he doesn’t cheat on me
- May 18th: Armed Forces Day
U.S. Marines had been active in Helmand since the spring of 2008, when a pre-surge Marine company inserted by helicopter into the Taliban stronghold of Garmser.Over the past five years, successive Marine units pushed Taliban fighters from their dug-in positions in the “Green Zone,” the fertile, built-up areas along the Helmand River.
Fighting in the birthplace of the Taliban was often fierce – at least 500 Marines died, more than 4,500 were wounded – the highest casualties among U.S. fighting forces in Afghanistan. But now it was almost over.
By July this year, Afghan forces will be in charge of security throughout the country. And by the end of 2014, U.S. Marines will be out of Afghanistan and back at their home bases.
I hope this means that I wont get a chance to go there.

I do respect all those who serve. But if you’re a sailor, or an airman, and you’re claiming that you are “fighting for our country”, you are full of fucking shit and I will call you out on it.
Marines and (sometimes) Soldiers are the ones fighting for us. Marines go in first and make things safe, then Soldiers go in and continue the fight.
What a fucking moron.
Odd. If Navy Seals fall under the Navy, and Sailors are Navy, doesn’t that make Navy Seals sailors? the logic. I know of some airmen that just got back from deployment in Afghanistan but I’m sure they weren’t over there defending our country, they were probably just playing charades or something ya know. How dare they.
and sometimes soldiers?
In spite of our countries current economic situation and the polarizing politics involved, Service Member benefits such as Tuition Assitance should not be compromised as a result. Access to Higher Education is important to Service Members as it allows for career and professional advancement.
d’aaw :)
