And there was talk this morning of going back in Afghanistan.

With my current attitude towards our government, were I still active duty, I think I might decline such an assignment.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

State says this didn't happen but other news are saying it did and the palace was breached by Iranian backed forces.

And let me guess - IF this happened, the Marines were ordered not to shoot . . .

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
