@libsoftiktok That abomination of marching is not the soldiers fault. THAT falls squarely on the drill instructors.

@Truth_matters20 I would nuance that by saying, "No true mature Christian should doubt..." Young or new believers need to mature into that confidence.

[HealthWithJeff @wealthwithjeff]

@lichthauch Yup. And it hurts, too.

@Mark_Wilson_25 Awesome! Thank you for this post.

@AngstigeHippie @Hitchslap1 Incorrect. A high EQ allows an individual to both know their own emotional state as well as navigate that fluctuating landscape of the people around them, typically coworkers, peers, etc. The high EQ people are very adaptable. They are not oversensitive.

@mladner30 My Christian faith does NOT depend on this. And if you are using your post as a disguise for hatred of Jews, then shame on you. Regardless, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is non-negotiable.

21 years ago today, on June 28, 2005, four Navy SEALs were inserted under cover of darkness into the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, a place so high and so cold the clouds drift below your feet. Their mission was to find a Taliban commander hiding in the village of Sawtalo Sar. Their names were Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Marcus Luttrell.

By morning, fate walked right up the mountain to meet them. A goat herder and a boy wandered straight into their hidden position. The team had a choice no man should ever have to make: kill unarmed civilians, or let them go and risk everything. They let them go. Within an hour, the mountain came alive with rifle fire.

What happened next is almost too brutal to put into words. Dozens of fighters swarmed the high ground above them. The four men fought their way down a near vertical slope, throwing themselves off ledges and cliffs to escape the fire, breaking bones, tearing flesh, leaving blood on the rocks, and still turning to shoot. One by one they were hit. Still they fought. They would not stop. They would not surrender.

Their radios could not reach the base down in the valley. They were screaming for help into dead air. And so Lieutenant Michael Murphy did something that should never be forgotten. He stood up. He walked out of the rocks and into open ground, into the full teeth of the enemy, with bullets cracking past him on every side, just to get a clear signal. He was shot in the back while making that call. He dropped the radio, picked it back up, finished the call, and said thank you. Then he kept fighting until he could fight no more. That single act of courage is the only reason the world ever learned their names.

Help came screaming up the valley. An MH-47 Chinook, call sign Red Wings 11, packed with eight more SEALs and eight Army Night Stalkers of the legendary 160th SOAR, refused to wait for gunship cover. Their brothers were dying and they would not sit still for it. As the bird flared over the ridge, a single rocket propelled grenade flew through the open rear ramp. The explosion tore the aircraft apart in the sky. All sixteen men aboard were killed the instant it hit the mountain.

Three on the ground. Sixteen in the air. Nineteen American sons gone in a single afternoon. It remains the worst loss of life in Naval Special Warfare history since World War II.

Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Danny Dietz and Matthew Axelson received the Navy Cross. Marcus Luttrell, blown off a cliff and shredded by shrapnel, was the only one to come home. He survived because a Pashtun villager named Mohammad Gulab found him broken in a ravine and, under an ancient code of honor older than the country these men died for, stood between him and the Taliban and refused to give him up.

Twenty one years later, do not let these be just names on a screen. They had mothers. They had wives. They had children who grew up with a flag folded into a triangle instead of a father. They chose each other over their own lives on a mountain most people will never even hear of.

So today, say their names out loud. All nineteen of them 🇺🇸

Officers should be arrested and charged with violating constitutional rights, fired, and jailed prior to a trial. The city also should have a second, greater fine due to this repeat offense. The message to LEO's is that this USA is a Constitutional Republic, not a socialist shole.

@IntrovertProbss Try very hard to keep talking and making whatever comment or point you were making. If you do stop, you train them to keep cutting you off. This is a hard, but necessary skill for introverts.
