It took my nephew 4 days to get home from Afghanistan to be with my niece!! He had to catch whatever military plane was flying the direction he was heading!!!! It only took him a day to get there!!

I don't understand why they just didn't put him on the first available commercial flight they could once they got him out of Afghanistan!?!?!?!

Our country is treating our military men/women and their families like second class citizens!!! When there is an emergency here at home!!!

My nephew told my uncle that they are nothing but crowd control in Afghanistan, they are not wanted there, the citizens do not want us there. Our troops are lucky to get a shower once a week if they are lucky. I can't imagine living in 100+ temperature, dust/dirt, doing a job where I'm not wanted day in and day out.

I wonder if our government appreciates the job these men & women are doing...well I really should say, these young boys and girls....the average age of solders over there is less than 22yrs.

Sure doesn't seem to me that they are being treated very well.

I'm sorry if you don't agree with me... but this is my rant, my rave.
I'll get off of my soap box now.
