It will be over in a few weeks, now maybe in a few months. [View all]

I’m very worried for our people. That they will carry this burden alone. I doubt that our greatest ally will participate in any ground offensive even after they started this war.
I am referring to prior wars in that our greatest ally did not provide any ground troops. Such as the Gulf War or the invasion of Iraq 2003.
I think of the young Grunts in the M.E.U. Or in the 82nd and i love them all each and every one of them. I am frightened for what they will face in the coming weeks or months or possibly for years.
