PLEASE WATCH THIS 21 VIDEO SALUTE TO OUR TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ BECAUSE FORMER VP DICK CHENEY AND REPUBLICANS ARE PUSHING FOR MORE TROOPS.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney this week told a Republican gathering in New York that President Obama is "AFRAID" and "DITHERING" over sending 40,000 more troops into the grinding machine of Afghanistan.

Cheney is the last person in the world that should be calling for more troops to Afghanistan because he was "AFRAID" and "DITHERED" when it came to the Vietnam War. Cheney used SIX deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War and was the architect who lied to America about Saddam Hussein having WMDs and also sat on his fat butt for almost eight years as nothing was done about the war in Afghanistan.

This is a series of 21 videos saluting the men and women who were not too chicken like Cheney to enlist in the military and deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq.

NOTE: The videos will contiunue after one ends to the next video until all of them have been seen.

WAS IT WORTH IT? OFFICIAL IRAQI DEATH TALLY PUT AT 85,000 FROM 2004 TO 2008

BAGHDAD - At least 85,000 Iraqis lost their lives from 2004-2008 in violence, the government said in its first comprehensive tally released since the war began.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33310955/ns/world_news-conflict_in_iraq/

The report by the Human Rights Ministry said 85,694 people were killed in the four-year period and 147,195 were wounded. It counted Iraqi civilians, military and police but did not cover U.S. military deaths, insurgents, or foreigners, including contractors or U.S. forces. And it did not include the first months of the war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

The Associated Press reported in April that the government had recorded 87,215 Iraqi deaths from 2005 to February 2009, a toll very similar to the latest release. It was based on government statistics obtained by the AP and covered violence ranging from catastrophic bombings to execution-style slayings.

WHAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND THE PENTAGON DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT AFGHANISTAN---MUST SEE PLAYLIST OF INFORMATIVE VIDEOS

The Obama administration and the Pentagon have tried to silence the media on what is taking place in Afghanistan because it is a total mess.

This is a series of videos starting with Robert Greenwald's excellent Brave New Films "Rethinking Afghanistan" which pulls the curtain back and exposes what is taking place in Afghanistan.

Unlike the blowhards from FOX NEWS and other Republican sources who are hidden away in their comfy offices in New York or Washington, these videos provide people who are on the front lines of the war in Afghanistan.

As soon as one video ends, the video will shift to the next video about the war in Afghanistan.

Some of the footage is very graphic and some of the language is raw.

If a video stops, just click on the small diamond-shaped arrow under the picture on the left-hand side and it will activate the video.

The bottom line is this.

The mainstream media in the United States hasn't got a clue of what is going on in Afghanistan and use "talking points" from the Pentagon as source for their news reports.

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.

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.
