@texasroadhouse just wanted to take a minute and thank you for how you handled #VeteransDay this year. I used the coupon tonight in #eriepa and it was awesome. The staff was phenomenal and it was nice you gave back on more then one day. #thankyou#eathere#beststeak
Taliban (an extremist group) will not help fight help ISISK (an even BIGGER extremist group). They are the same creature.
We are asking a demon to help us fight Satan. They are different feathers from the same bird.
I appreciate that some people are upset with my presence in Afghanistan. I have no desire to lash out. I assume they are trying to accomplish their missions the same way I am trying to accomplish mine, and I love them for it. A few things, though:
Do not some near Kabul airport. The security situation on the ground has closed the airport to all incoming personnel. Do not direct anyone to the airport- have your contacts stay home and remain in touch with you. Hopefully some avenues open up in the coming weeks and days.
Words cannot describe how proud I am of the soldiers, marines, and veterans I have met on this trip. They’re working so hard in a chaotic environment with a brutal timetable.
Yesterday’s losses weigh more on me now that I’m older. Their lives had just begun.
Not a single general grade officer is going to be held responsible for all the equipment they left in Afghanistan and they’ll keep holding a command where specialists have to pay dearly for losing a canteen.
