    That’s nice but this is about arms. I made no mention of arms in any of my comments.

    From a political perspective in late '24, Biden would have been smart to keep the troops in Afghanistan but Bob Gates dictum on Biden and FP held true once again.

    Presuming you are referring to carpeveritas, he was a moderator for a brief time and placed a notice on the moderator's forum he was going to take a break from posting and moderating as his son had died. March or April, 2023 or around that time as I best recall. He never returned.

    I always get a laugh out of people that do not realize they are arguing with someone in the IC that actually knows what they are talking about and try to fact check them with random articles they have read.

    I have to bite my tongue a lot when I read some of the threads on here. But I’m use to “serving in silence”

    Wow, that's awful. Hope he finds a higher power to deal with that kind of unspeakable pain. No father/parent should ever have to bury their child. I can only pray for him...
