@gblueslover2 What? Army doing jack shit? Are you stupid or do you buy the fake history the Marine Corps spouts to its boots? Being a former Marine grunt myself (yes former) I find your comment idiotic beyond belief.

I support what my dad had to do at Bougainville. I still don't know what happened. He wouldn't tell me as his daughter, but it was REALLLY BAD. That is what our US Marines do. They did what they had to do. Dad didn't talk about it. So we blame him? No. I honor my dad. Don't ya'll ever talk bad about my Dad. He's my Hero. Semper Fi.

Iraqi is just one of about 100 outposts we have, it wont change much if we pull out 100%

@Sturmmann Indeed, and knowing what you've mentioned regarding the US Army, basically doing jack and shit, it seems like a HUGE waste of tax dollars to even deploy them anywhere where real military might as far as ground troops (especially) would be needed.
