September 11, 2001: The beautiful, crystal clear Tuesday morning that changed everything.

So sad. Each of this worlds wars all brought on by one man.

plainjane31. Theoretical Verbage is done in a real Fight but thanks for your offering and stay ignorant but Safe at Home, Until the Current Regime Congress gives up on funding Americas Defense..

Stop smoking/drinking that substance and do not play that business.

Taqiyyotomist…do you speak .45 ACP or Louisville Slugger?

Are You pissing on my boots and telling me that it is raining?

Forget it, You came to FA by mistake and decided to piss on Everyone’s Boots here.

Have Fun!!!

OLD TROOPER 2: on your number 1, wow for metallica, I could see only a part but I’ll come back to finish it , IT’S a must see. thank you. bye

Taqiyyotomist, for over 30 years I deployed Anywhere in 72 hours to Anywhere that US Foreign Policy had utterly failed and was tasked with ending violence, genocide, ethnic cleansing and other
heinous actions. I was well trained, well equipped and left Family, Hearth and Home because I believed that American Interests, Allies and threats to them needed to be dealt with within the Court of Last Resort: Armed Force Intervention. I did that and do not regret a day of it.

It cost me a marriage. Typical stuff for Career Army types in my line of work. Too many deployments do that. I recall my Daughter, who is a Second Year Cadet at the USAFA, at the age of 6 years cutting class to see me off and to see me return. She chose me over living with her Mother.

Now I am retired and back home in Montana. I was ranch raised and I own a large piece of ground, raise Hereford Beef, am critical of My Government that currently can’t find it’s ass with both hands and has no respect for the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and treats the US Treasury like a pinyata to be whacked by a Congress for free stuff for Votes.

I have a chip on my shoulder that is larger than You ever carried and have spent the majority of my Adult Life Defending the Nation, Our Interests Overseas and I have earned the right to comment from my perspective and if you do not like it that is your Right.

I am retired now and home in Gods Country. I will go to evening Worship Services in a country Church that has a congregation that will travel more than 70 miles to meet. It is not a Mosque and not a Synagogue. It is a Presbyterian Church that has members that would reject Sharia Law at gunpoint and Love their corner of America.

I do have a chip on my shoulder now but not a pack and a rifle. My perspective is different than yours. I hop on a horse to get to work and do not jump from aircraft or rappel from helicopters
anymore but I have the wisdom and knowledge of the Defense of a Nation that does NOT coincide with the direction that a Pretender has steered our Nation to.

This may be my last posting here. Take Care Bud.

Trooper, it is you and your brothers in arms who I thank God for every day. I am a Christian, I hate Islam with as much passion as do you, and all that the mad “prophet” Mo said, did, and stood for. My nic is something I coined years ago, just after the attacks on 9/11/01, and just after I learned about the evil Muslim concept of al-taqiyya. Taqiyyotomist means, in it’s roots, ‘one who surgically cuts out the taqiyya’. I can see deception in the arguments of Muslims, and in the arguments of the professional leftists who use this tactic as well – God, and my earthly father, gave me a gift of discernment which can never be taken away.

By the way, and as an aside regarding the end of your comment, “Bud” was my uncle, who passed just one year ago, before my eyes, and who would also have stood by your side, to defend the free against the tyrant.

Please, keep posting here. Your perspective is a necessity, and I read your comments with the greatest respect and admiration. It is you and others like you who have kept this nation free thus far.

Bees, I never left – I read this site and the comments every single day. If I fail to comment, it is because here, I sometimes feel quite out of my league. You, and Skookum, and all the rest, usually put to words everything I think and feel, and better and more succinctly than I could on my best, most sober day.

God bless you, Trooper, (you too, Bees!) and may his Spirit that is in you work to change the minds and open the eyes of others through your words.
