Securing our borders
During my second tour to Iraq as a U.S. Marine, my unit was tasked to help secure the Syrian border. We had received intel that Iran was sending weapons into Syria to smuggle across the border for use against American troops.
At the same time, refugees from all over the country were flooding the border to escape the war. We successfully accomplished the mission of securing the border that deployment. It is an absolute shame the Biden administration will not do the same and is allowing an unsecure southern border in our very own country.
As my military service was coming to an end, my younger brother joined. He was wounded a few years later in Afghanistan when an IED was detonated only a few feet from him. He spent days in a German hospital not expected to make it. With a lot of prayer my brother survived. I have friends I served with who were not as lucky and never came home. For us to then watch Joe Biden botch the withdrawal from Afghanistan was disgusting.
