The Pentagon extended the deployment of 2,200 marines in Afghanistan by an additional 30 days Thursday, breaking early promise to send them home on time. FULL STORY: CLICK HERE
The marines are from 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, which is doing combat operations in the volatile southern parts of Afghanistan.
The new order means they will come home in early November rather than October as the Pentagon promised earlier this year, according to David Nevers, a Pentagon spokesman.

“Their extension comes at the request of International Security Assistance Force, (ISAF) and with the approval of Defense Secretary Robert Gates,” he said.
“This will afford the MEU the opportunity to continue building on the tremendous success they have achieved during their tour there,” Nevers added.

When we were coming back from Desert Storm, we were held up by 3 days. You never heard so much whining by grown men.
Oh well, here are some typical responses I have for all “extended tour” service personnel:
“A small price to pay to be one of the world’s finest”
“Huh huh huh– LIFE!”
“Cry on the left shoulder, the right one is wet already”
“Oh well, that’s you!!”
“In a hundred years, it won’t matter!”
“Suck it up!!”

Let’s stop the government from spending money on war. Withdraw all your money from the banks and buy gold, silver or grains. No more fiat money, no more FED, no war offensive wars.

“War is a Racket” General Smedley Butler, 2 time Congressional Medal of Honor winner. He warned of all this in 1934 and apparently nobody cared then or cares now. The game of war is to fail, with the help of the Federal Reserve. Body bags for the honest, money for the greedy. Enjoy the Super bowl, watch the corporate commerials, and buy all those prescription drugs.
There are a lot of Greedy warmongers counting on it plus interest. They may even let you rent back your house after they foreclose on your mortgage. No job, then join the Marines and get payed, minus pay deduction for the body bag to stuff the opium bags in.
