As most know I stay far away from politics on social media. Most of the time its hate fueled propaganda spewed from people who have no idea what they are talking about or what they actually stand for. With that said, social media can be an amazing platform to share fact based information or experiences to respectfully and professionally address or correct misinformation so the public can be properly informed.
Below is a video from 2010 in Afghanistan where my Special Forces team was partnered with a NATO Australian team fighting the Taliban on the front lines.
I dont have the most experience but I have some with 8 deployments to Afghanistan as a Special Forces Green Beret serving with some amazing NATO partners fighting side by side against a mutual enemy. When I was wounded after stepping on an IED, in the hospital at KAF, there was a Canadian in the bed next to me who had been shot, and in the same room a British soldier who stepped on a landmine.
Although these are only my experiences, I have seen first hand our NATO brothers and sisters in arms fighting side by side with us on the front lines.
For those who wish to comment, be professional. Many soldiers from around the world gave their lives for freedom and they deserve respect. Be worthy of their sacrifice and be someone who was worth dying for.
