He was so young he doesn’t even remember 9/11, and the war in Afghanistan had been going on as long as he could remember.
RIP.
And the United States certainly should send more cannon fodder to Afghanistan without a clear mandate to win, without an objective that can be achieved to win, with politicians looking over their shoulder to include f’in McCain who is outraged at every accusation made against a troop calling for investigations. We did NOT learn a damn thing from past ass kickings and if anyone does not think we got our asses kicked in Korea then Vietnam, you have your head in the sand or up your ass. Strong message to follow.
Do you really think your comment is appropriate on a thread for a fallen soldier?
Fair winds and following seas, Pfc. Kirkpatrick.
Far too young. Rest in peace, PFC Kirkpatrick! Praying for his family and friends.
