Boy, I've done a bad job updating this Blog recently. Not that there wasn't lots to report. Seth's time at the FOB in Ghazni has been very busy, filled with patrols. His last patrol that just ended on the 30th of June lasted eleven days. The majority of his time at Ghazni was spent on patrol BUT he is now safely encamped at Bagram Air Field awaiting transportation home. The 3-116th should be departing Afghanistan as early as the 11th of July. We are hopeful that Seth will be home in time to participate in our family vacation in Ashville, NC. It depends on the Demob process and when leave is granted.
Seth is getting out of Afghanistan at a good time. There have been 56 soldiers killed in 2005 with most of those deaths coming in the last three months. The death toll mounts as President Bush claims victory and Dick Cheney reports that the insurgency in Iraq is in it's last theros. If you repeat lies often enough some people will believe it. The insurgency in Afghanistan is building and the blame can be placed squarely on Bush and company. If they hadn't forced an unjustified war in Iraq all of our assets could have been focused on Afghanistan and the goal of nation building could have been fulfilled. As it is, neither Iraq or Afghanistan is stable and won't be stable for a long, long time if ever. I'll be happy to be wrong on this assessment.
I apologize to any readers for the political bent this post has taken. I support our troops 100%, but feel in my heart that the political leadership has let us down. How many more of our men and women must die for Bush's mistakes?
