I received a call from Peter “Chris” Cristof, a retired Marine three-striper. The call came in on the morning of Saturday the second of January. Nearly a hundred US Marines were coming into McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. From there they were to be bussed over to 29 Palms for desert training. We’re talking Afghanistan here folks. These kids are being asked by us to face Islamic fanatics on our behalf and the State I represented can’t even be bothered to offer them a place to rest while they sit out an 18 hour wait for a bus.
