MUST WATCH 33 VIDEOS: THE RISE OF THE TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN: GRAPHIC COMBAT FOOTAGE

It has been eight years since President Bush sent US forces into Afghanistan in hopes of catching Usama bin Laden. But instead bin Laden escaped and assumed to be hiding out in Pakistan.

This series of 33 videos tell the story of the war in Afghanistan. There are clips of US troops fighting the Taliban and NATO forces.

As soon as one video ends, the video moves to the next video. Sometimes there is a short commercial before the video starts, but be patient and you will learn a lot about the war in Afghanistan.

NOTE: Some of the videos require you click on the diamond-shaped arrow on the left-hand side of the video to activate it.

President Obama is going to have to make a decision on whether to send more troops into Afghanistan in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, he has seen videos like these because they do not paint a pretty picture of Afghanistan and what lies ahead for our troops.

You can see all the videos here:

SHOCKING VIDEO ON HOW VETERAN ARE GETTING SHAFTED BY THE VA

Jeremy Lenker, a good friend of mine from Facebook, sent me this video which tells how the VA is screwing veterans when it comes to their DD214, which is the history of everyone who has served in the military.

In my own case, I lost my DD214 and when I applied for a copy I was told it burned up in a fire in a St. Louis warehouse in the 70s and they had only ONE copy and it was gone.

The VA sent me a letter which they say I can use to obtain my VA benefits. I haven't tried to use it yet.

Here is the link to the video:
