📜 The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War by Craig Whitlock

I bet everyone who was old enough can remember where they were and what they were doing on 9/11. For John and I, we were in high school and I remember the shock of that day. At first it seemed like it was an accident. But as we watched the news live on our TV in our science class, we realized it wasn't an accident when the 2nd plan crashed into the second tower. That day was the catalyst for the Afghanistan War. The reason we started the war on terror. The Patriot Act. And I think the turning point for modern politics and opinion that did not exist in America prior to that day. After high school both my husband decided to serve our country. Many others felt the need to do the same. And John went on to do two combat tours in the Middle East including Afghanistan, serving from 2006-2009. #9/11 Remember
🪖 If you new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! #MilitaryFamilyVlog We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
