Walz could be like Square Jaw McBangBang Gruntington Du KnuckleDragger K-Barius IV, A Green Beret with all four 18-series MOS's with 20 years in COMBAT alone and he'd still be getting dragged because he's on the democratic ticket.

For the past 2 years, I’ve tweeted out the names of the fallen from the American war in Afghanistan. The 1st time was around the fall of Kabul. The 2nd around Memorial Day. I will start again on Friday at 5 pm ET. Many attach personals stories and photos.

You’ll note that none of the options are such emotions as “rage-filled sorrow” or “the urge to prosecute war criminals.” Given this, you may not be surprised to learn that the honorary chair of the foundation is George W. Bush, who happens to be the president who birthed the global war on terror with the invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. The foundation’s funders include 7-Eleven, Amazon, and Baker Botts, a powerhouse Texas law firm named after James Baker, secretary of state for the first George Bush.

Los neoconservadores importaron a un hombre afgano que planeó un ataque terrorista electoral

Es difícil imaginar una acusación más mordaz de la desastrosa retirada de Afganistán de la administración Biden-Harris en 2021 que la noticia de esta semana de que un ciudadano afgano que fue admitido en Estados Unidos menos de dos semanas después de la retirada de las tropas estadounidenses ha sido acusado de planear un ataque terrorista el día de las elecciones en nombre de ISIS.

"What's old is new again."

Mirrors and prisms were used in the trenches of WW1. And several similar devices came about during GWOT for urban fighting.

These obscure devices are no longer made and that's kind of the nature of these concepts. The very real need arises, ad-hoc solutions are devised, later better purpose made versions are produced as the need is disappearing, then in the future the cycle repeats. The current conflicts in Ukraine and Israel/Palestine have had moments where such a device would be invaluable, but cumbersome under any other circumstance.

The anniversary of the United States’ invasion of Iraq during the ongoing Global War on Terror is right around the corner.
