Maj. Gen. Glenn M. Walters, commanding general of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, pilots a KC-130J Hercules in southwestern Afghanistan in 2011, when he commanded 2nd MAW (Forward). Walters assumed command of 2nd MAW in May 2012, just two months after returning from Afghanistan. “Instead of employing the wing in combat, now I’m preparing Marines for combat,” Walters said. “It’s the continuum of who we are as Marines, answering the call to do our nation’s defense wherever we’re called.”

War is such a senseless and stupid thing. I understand why we as so called civilized countries have to help oppressed people…I just don’t understand why anyone anywhere has to be oppressed!
It’s a crazy world and a cruel one! He’s a hero and thanks for posting! We are a military family and always support our troops! So sad they have to go and die!
