    Default The Terps... video documentary

    VICE News presents "The Interpreters"
    https://news.vice.com/video/the-interpreters-part-1

    I haven't watched all of the segments yet, but it hits home for me as I'm sure it does for many here.
    Sure, there are some bad apples (we even experienced a couple "Green on Blue" incidents with ANA and ANP on my first deployment, one of which took 2 of our guys out of the fight). But for the most part they're good people.
    I'm thinking of two guys in particular who have honestly done more good for our national security than most Americans have. I was in intermittent contact with one for a while after I returned from my last deployment but haven't heard from him in a while, and I can only hope he and his wife and child are alright.
    Our government, IMO, is doing a huge disservice to these men who have spent in some cases the last decade of their lives in service to us.

    Makes you think what we do for all the south and central America ninos that the gov helped bus and fly all over the country, in comparison.

    I would agree, but the terps where I'm at now are a bunch of stuck-up fuckwads. You're right though-for the most part, they're pretty awesome guys.
    Just call me 47
