Aha! Came home just in time or would have missed your post ChrisG. Been thinking a lot about you lately, so happy to see your post! Unfiltered news from our “Face of Grace.” Thanks for spending the time and thinking about us, not like you don’t have anything else to do. Certainly will look forward to hearing from you again, with much appreciation. Stay safe!

I honestly thought you were referring to the press in the above statement.

Yeah Mata; I thought after Mark’s post (http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/11/28/joan-of-arc-was-a-loser-reader-post/) the moonbats would keep working down the line.

Keep up the good work ChrisG, may your “X number of days and a wake-up”, fly by as swiftly as if they were (F-15) Eagle borne, bro’. I hear you on what you’re saying about AFN. I remember doing a lot of “talking back to the TV” in my own time when we would get the unbiased military news reports, followed by the fluff that passes as “real news” in America. After a while, I began to think only those who were overseas in the military actually ever knew anything approaching “the truth” of much of what was going on back home & where we were. Granted, even AFN had the “official” filtered version of the news, but it was “spun” nowhere near as badly as the media versions. And the Command level weekly newsletters & group emails were other rather reliable sources.

Great article Chris. Thanks for the good work in Afghanistan and Iraq. Don’t be too much upset with the American leftist Medias, we have the same in Canada. But we are not stupid, we do not believe them. Like they say: “Stupidity is not the inability to learn, it’s the Unwillingness to Learn”… lol. And that is the problem with the leftists.

BTW, when you reach Kandahar, please say hello to all the Canadian’s troops up there. Tell them that we Canadians (not the leftist’s ones, of course) appreciate their work and that we really care about them and wishes them well.

Anyone notice the air is completely clean of moonbats?? Good news to the perpetual whiners is just not good news, eh?

Keep it coming, ChrisG… at every opportunity. In fact, if you have a few compadres that want to type out a post, bring ‘em on, guy! We’d love to hear what they have to say as well!

I feel for you. I wouldn’t wish another tour at Bagram on my worst enemy.

Has DFAC food improved, or are people still heading to the PX for their rations?
