Polygraph? I know YoBuckStopsHere. They’re a mod. It’s genuine.
Ok I typed out a huge story and my phone refreshed the screen. Grrrr
Anyway, background I was in Iraq twice and Afghanistan once between 2001 and 2010 serving logistics roles and driving a HMMWV in convoys. It was sort of like this but I was usually in the third or fourth element vehicle driving.
I saw a lot, dodged a lot, came out of it all with a lot of life experiences and knowledge. Everyone on the ground knew GWB was a dumbass and the WMD shit was fake, but orders are orders. We did think there was going to be more information on the why later, but today we know he ordered the invasion to impress his father after the 1990 Iraq Invasion was stopped after the Highway of Death incident.
Glad you made it through. Bet you have some interesting stories.
Lots of stories. Lots of stories.
Did you ever see, or hear anything of UFO’s? Just curious.
If you are talking aliens, no. Drone technology has been insane though.
I want to believe. /s
