Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump, NATO, and taking it personally.

We've been talking a lot lately about Trump's sites against our NATO allies.

And some of you have noted that I seem to be taking it personally.

Here's a message. Quote,

Bell, why do you care so much about Trump talking about NATO? It's politics. You don't seem to get

worked up about other stuff. I was in Afghanistan in 2006 and Iraq in 2002. I never worked

with foreign troops. I'm not sure why you're taking this so personally. I know some of you

all caught that and we'll come to that later. Maybe I do take it personally. I remember that day in September, and everything getting

locked down, how chaotic and scary it was, and years later I was in Lawnstool. That's in Germany.

I treated people from everywhere, from California to Georgia and everywhere in between.

Not that Georgia. Not the one with Atlanta. The country, Georgia. They're not even a NATO member,

and I was helping their boys recover from the wounds they got fighting in our war.

I saw the price our allies paid.

So yeah, maybe I take it personally that we're turning our backs on them, and in some cases

threatening them.

You may not have seen them because it's hard to integrate units and operations when you have a bunch of languages

involved. But I find it hard to believe you were in Afghanistan in 06 and weren't aware of

NATO presence. That was ISAF. It's hard to think of those dressings and write it off as just politics.

Like it's the same as when congresspeople call each other names on Twitter.

It just feels different to me.

Now, I answered the question, assuming that something was a typo, because it very well may be.
