We remember.. Mad phil. Dont we
All too well, I'm afraid..
I have my hat on that says,,, “ All Gave Some.... Some Gave All”
Little pieces of our soul was left behind and changed forever.... 🇺🇸
My grandfather was an officer in the army during Vietnam. He put together a mission that, if they succeeded, could've helped turn the tides, a bit. Wouldn't have won the war, obviously, but from what I read in his notes and mission draft that he's kept, it was a pretty decent plan. Only issue was, they were already waiting for them. They knew they had a weak spot in their defenses abd quickly stocked it with bodies. Much quicker than my grandfather's team could get ready. They went out in a 32 man team. 28 died before they could get out. My grandfather was one of the 4-5 that made it and it's destroyed him, since.
Poor little John John. He too became a causualty
Was he in the 173rd?
I'll have to check. I honestly can't remember.
I know they suffered huge losses. Almost all either wounded or killed
Ambushed and cut off on three sides
Same with the unit I rolled around with in Afghanistan. My squad got attached (unofficially) to 3-5 marines in Afghanistan. They lost so many people, their unit was deemed combat ineffective and grounded from deployments.
Couldnt get any help until morning.. decimated those poor guys
Yeah
I may need to call you, later. Would that be alright?
I can already feel it building.
Ofc phil. Any time.. im working but i always have time for my brother. 👍✨🇺🇸
All these lives lost over some fucking bank or bet, or whatever these lying bastards made up to get innocent men to give their lives for a lie...
This is what I feel when this shit takes over me.
Nearly every word and outrage cry
You and your grandfather are heroes. Thank you for putting your life on the line for others.
You're very welcome.
As much as it haunts me, I can honestly take solice in knowing that I took someone's spot that couldn't handle it and made one less person end their own life.
