Teresita is just being a pest. This is how the Left protests wars: they always try to find an angle to make the home team (us) look like inept rubes. The reports I’ve read elsewhere suggest that the enemy force may have been as large as 200 fighters. I’ll bet my next paycheck that we killed or wounded half of that force, by combined air and ground fire. Also, Haji can’t shoot worth shit, and most of our casualties were caused by RPG fire. It appears that the enemy had some decent observation and fire direction. No matter, they are the ones who fit the sad tale of Pyrrhus.

HaHa, Teresita. The war you Leftists say we lost in Iraq rests on fictions in your own minds. Your Baathist and al Qaeda allies got their asses handed to them there, even during the years you claim we were losing. I know, because I know a captain and a sergeant who fought there. And they did tours in Afghanistan too. Whupped Haji there too.

So, I’m going to toss one back in memory of the storied history of the 173rd, a unit that also did marvelous work in the Republic of Vietnam.

The Party of Jackasses is invested in our defeat. The defeat of our arms serves their internal political war and their chances for victory. But, we aren’t losing overseas. So, swallow your fictions and own your defeat. Our boys will never surrender. We don’t have any white flags. You people have all the white bedsheets.
