Truth Bomb by OVD : Afghanistan and Translators

 Hey Everyone,

  So in Afghanistan right now the US and NATO are pulling out and the Taliban has seized half the country during that withdrawal. This situation is dire for the Afghani's that worked for the US Military. Especially  Translators. The Taliban murders them and their families, for working for us. Normally when we leave a conflict we take our allies like translators with us. This is not happening in Afghanistan and what little is being done is not fast enough. Not only will these folks and their families be murdered but it will signal any future helpers or translators not to help America, as they already know the US will abandon them and their families to horrible deaths. 

  Personally I believe, like most special forces folks in 2002 that we should have never invaded Afghanistan is the first place. We should have used bombers and drones and special forces to attack terrorist camps and bases in Afghanistan from Pakistan and our other allies in the region. Trying to "hold" Afghanistan is a pointless venture that never works out. The place is a Empire crusher...ask England, Alexander the Great and the Former USSR. But we did and as predicted it was pointless and we lost. So the least we can do is evacuate(with speed) our allies there including the translators. These folks have already proven their honor and loyalty. If we abandon them we ensure no translators for any venture the US makes...including peaceful. Trump and gang already abandoned the Kurds in Syria making this a trend and tarnishing our reputation badly. This would destroy our reputation permanently making both war and State Dept. negotiation difficult to impossible. Plus it's just the right thing to do. 

  Please call your representatives and get them on this ASAP.

    Wow Otto I'm shocked by this because I was under the impression that they were bringing those that assisted our troops here, wtf that's not right on any level. Those poor people. I will most definitely get in touch with my state representatives, they're used to hearing from me anyway. Hope you're doing ok , be safe and well Maria

      Still alive...not sure if I'm going to be homeless or not. I should know in the next few days. If I am I'll take the long walk as there is no point in staying alive in this much pain on the streets.

    Oh shit Otto I'm so sorry, don't say that about the long walk 😥 Do you have any family around you, whether it be blood or friend made family? Hopefully the roommate comes back and pays his share, that's so not right of him

      No I don't. We'll see what he does but I banking on it being bad at this point. There is no way I'd survive long on the streets. Add the constant devastating pain I'm in and I'm not going to bother trying. So if that happens the long walk is the logical path.

    That really sucks that California doesn't have a better option for veterans l guess I kind of thought they'd be more progressive. Like I just said in my last post hope he pays this month now that he's there, I noticed I didn't put my name on some posts so not sure if you know it's me, been super spacy lately. I really hope it all works out because I hate to hear you so depressed try to hang in and on Maria

Truth Bomb By OVD : Ukraine (Proxy) War updaye

 Hey Everyone,   So the war in Ukraine has been bloody but not much has happened the last month in regards to land controlled by either side. The HIMARS are doing serious damage to Russian command and supplies and they only have 4 of them. The Russians said they took them out but that has been proven to be a lie. The only reason Ukraine isn't dominating and taking their land back is the west isn't supplying enough. It's obvious the west IS considering this a Proxy war. That means their goal is to bleed Russia by keeping the war going. This is why the Ukrainians are not getting enough support. I warned of this but now it's clear that it is the case now.    There is talk of giving them 30 HIMARS and F-15's, F-16's, F-18's(Hornets are used by the USMC like the A-10's) and A-10's. But it's just talk and these will require training. Maybe next year is what I'm hearing. Thousands of Ukrainians will die because of these delay's. Also if the Repu

Truth Bomb By OVD: Ukraine war update

 Hey Everyone,   So the front lines haven't moved much but the fighting is fierce along the whole line. It's still winter but spring is around the corner so both sides are gearing up for spring offenses. The newly promised Tanks from the west still haven't arrived and there isn't enough of them to make a difference. The Russians are losing thousands of Troops but their real purpose will be seen soon enough. You have to understand Russian war doctrine to see what the real Russian plan is. So lets talk about that. The Russians throughout history have used the same playbook. They invade or instigate a war thinking they will win fast. Then they lose badly as their forces are poorly trained and corruption ensures they are poorly equipped. They respond just like they are now by conscripting massive amounts of men and plugging the holes and holding the line. The second unsaid part of that is these conscripts are also being used to keep pressure on their enemy and use up their

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal update

 Hey everyone,   If anyone is even still reading this...My feeling of isolation is getting bad. Really bad. Being cut off from Facebook was bad enough. I haven't heard from a lot of friends from real life for more than a year now. Twitter helped and I made some new friends and was able to connect to a bunch of fellow Veterans. That's gone now too. So now I kind of drift from day to day with little to no contact with the outside world. It's demoralizing to say the least. I'm down right depressed and don't see any future for myself anymore. I've always been a very social person and now I have no way to reach anyone but this and the numbers of people that even read this anymore has dwindled to a couple. Soon I'll probably stop bothering with this either.    My pain levels are through the roof. I got only an hour of sleep last night(and why I'm typing this at 5 am. Pain meds and pot cookies combined didn't help. My left leg is now starting to get as bad
