Ummm.... Fox just went into specific detail about what U.S. military units are readying for deployment to Germany to surge for this conflict. They stated two specific units, what the units specialize in, and who their commanding officer will be. Why would they do that?????

I did a tour in Kirkuk, Iraq. I worked side-by-side with our infantry units. We conducted cordon and searches, raids, dismounted patrols. We worked long, hard hours in the blistering heat in full gear. And not all of us came home.

But then something happened. The Kurds showed up. They claimed the base. They started cleaning everything up. And the Kurds stood up against ISIS. The Kurds stood tall when the Iraqis abandoned the US.

He's doing damage control. I don't care how many wreaths he lays or how many photos ops he has with gold star families. He has zero respect for service members and veterans. GTFOH.
He called them suckers and losers. He refused to visit their fellow fallen, in Europe. But today, with an election coming up, Donald Trump pretends to care about all those who died in service to America.

I love how Twitter is suddenly full of tweets from people who seem to think they have all the answers to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Folks, this conflict started in 1948. Many actual experts have tried to find a solution, but it's rather complicated.

We turned over our base in Kirkuk to the Iraqis in 2011. And with the first threat of ISIS in 2014, the Iraqis abandoned the base. But first, they looted it. They took everything they could. They used shot guns to blow open safes. They ripped out all the electronics.

They destroyed the base. All of our equipment. And it devastated me. What was the point? Why were American lives lost if the Iraqis were going to turn tail at the very first hint of conflict? Was it all for nothing?

All these angry trolls in my replies assume I never went out the wire or saw combat because I'm female. They would be wrong, and it goes to show you their mindset when it comes to females in the military. They aren't the first to diminish female soldiers' contributions to war.

During my active duty time, I had more than one peer tell me that women didn't "belong" in the military. The truth is, it's those who believe they are somehow more capable/superior based solely on their gender that don't belong in an organization that relies so heavily on trust.

The military understands that a single communicable disease threatens the lethality of its forces. It's not about the individual. It's about the masses. Now, take that logic and apply it to mankind. This isn't a question of ethics. It's about the survival of the human race.

I had a kitty coming every day to a new house I was renting. She was as skinny as a rail. Started feeding her and eventually let her in. She would come and go as she pleased. Soon after, she had five kittens in my bedroom. She knew she needed a safe space to have her babies.
