What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 335 & BENKYO RADIO 335.

It’s time to show some airpower in Afghanistan. The U.S. Air Force must display some firepower against these Taliban. They aren’t that powerful. Don’t tell me they can beat advanced weaponry from the sky. I understand that we need an end to this war since it was the military-industrial-complex, but you don’t invest $2 trillion dollars and watch it burn in less than 20 days. This is insulting and aggravating. Just display some airpower in front of the Taliban, and explain to them that they must let women/girls go to school, and men/boys to enjoy TV/Radio as they have been for these past 20 years. Don’t let the country turn into a new ISIS HQ. Even I heard that the Pentagon is not too thrilled with the latest developments out of the Middle East. All you have to do is flex some muscle using the U.S. Air Force. Let’s do it.

Until Next Time!
