Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Each year the team picks an event or unit to represent in their uniforms for the game. This year, that unit is the Special Forces on the 20th anniversary of Task Force Dagger in Afghanistan. https://www.unitedwestand.football/?fbclid=IwAR3cFGtPlEie8OUe9FdkXvb61k1GkoBJNkyvKj8r521X9oWmJuwBk9_HZp0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 There are a couple of good books written about THE HORSE SOLDIERS. They were the first American fighting force into Afganistan. Because of the lack of material support, they were forced to rely on the Afaganis for horses for transportation. An heroic effort by true heros. The closest comparison is they brought knives to a gun fight. It was brought home to me when I learned that "shooter # 5" on my posse at CAC was one of those heros. Another posse had the privilege of shooting with another. SALUTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 58 minutes ago, Dirty Dan Dawkins said: I have never understood the continued use of dead languages. Tradition. Heraldic tradition to be specific. Mottos on the crests of coats of arms, at least in British usage, are most often in Latin. Also, often the Latin will be shorter than the English translation. Besides, is Latin really dead? Close to a third of English words are borrowed from Latin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the language is "dead" the meaning of its words never changes. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
