Great movie. Just watched it last night. Didn't know we? did that

Fair and balanced, not a pro war or anti war, just the facts of how we? got into the graveyard of Empires

At the end the Northern Alliance war lord tells Thor that we are friends today but your country will never leave and we will be enemies. America will just be another tribe here.

So true.

And I would Thor

We should have bombed the shit out of them in 2001 and called it good.

That's what they did to push out the Taliban in 3 weeks. I think that would have been the time to go public with the raid and declare victory

It is one of the stunning military accomplishments in history. But you'll never really win there

We're veering on Tug here...ha, ha. But this History that we can all pretty much agree upon so the refs will have to allow it.

We've come along way since trying to rescue hostage in Iran. Our military feats in that part of the world are truly remarkable. It's just not possible to get a W based on the objectives we set forth. This nation wages total war as great as any in history, but we suck at pacification. Any of any nation in history we should understand this.

The movie stands as great entertainment and the best of our guys who put on the uniform

I thank you for your service and dedication towards excellent bored selection. It means a lot to me that Derek let me have my very own shitty little bored.

Aww shucks guys, you’re making me tear up. Saw this on the flight to Israel this week. Couldn’t agree more.

Yes, yes, yes...but can we get back to talking about Thor?
