"Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, was preparing to drive his kids to school in the Dallas area on Friday when agents in unmarked vehicles allegedly surrounded him and arrested him in front of his children." And now these children will never have their dad back. What are we doing here?

... Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, was preparing to drive his kids to school in the Dallas area on Friday when agents in unmarked vehicles allegedly surrounded him and arrested him in front of his children. ...

Sad.

Pres Trump's ICE is looking more and more out of control with each passing day.

The SF soldiers that fought alongside Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal are mighty pissed.

The SF vets may be thinking about plugging the bastards that arrested and killed him.

Now we know why ICE thugs wear masks.

And yet they're flabbergasted that nobody will join with us in our Iran war.

Trump will break that record in one year.
And you will say they deserved it, just like you say this guy deserved it.

@#5 ... Meanwhile, back at the ranch: ...

Allow me to ask this serious question of you ...

How do you think we should treat the Afghans who risked their lives, and the lives of their families, to work with and help American soldiers during the Afghanistan War?

imo, they are fellow soldiers in that battle. Yet you seem to dismiss their lives out of course.

So, how do you think we should threat them?

Like criminals? Or fellow members of our military? Or ...?

As I said, serious question.

@#11 ... Master SargeTard actually learned to read by looking at memes on Facebook. ...

I'm not there yet, which is why I asked the serious question in #10.

I do remember when I mentioned that I used to send multi-hour reel-to-reel music tapes to soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War, he perked up and commented in a positive manner about that effort.

And that is why I asked my #10 comment ...
