We all are scared that every minute could be our last. The loss of lives can never be justified or forgotten. While the hand wringers, the power seekers, the politicions, the news people play their games of point and blame our Marines are dying . And none of this people care. Let our military perform their missions as they are trained to do. Seek out the enemy and destroy them. Stop costing lives by playing damn games. All we have is each other as was the case 233 years ago. Do not let our fallen comrades sacrafices be for not. We are the ones who need to change from the tail waging the dog to making elected officials accountable to us. We are Semper Fi what are they.
