FoxNews has downgraded the war in Afghanistan to a "Conflict"

I always check the news for word on what is happening over in Afghanistan where our troops are still going on patrol, dying, and losing limbs. Wondering why Foxnews.com was not updating their Afghanistan page I went to the World page where the link used to be and now there is only a "Conflict" link.

Yo, Fox, until our troops are out of harms way, we are still fighting a WAR in Afghanistan.

Thinking islamism has done likewise for us?

What a bunch of jerks.

It is still a war and 75% of our casualties have died on Obama’s watch.

Well it better than Obama who is probably classifying it a workplace violence.

Since Obama gutted the War on Terror, perhaps Fox figures Afghanistan is not a war anymore.

Once again, politics have led the US to lose a war. Maybe if the politicians would stay out of it, we might win one again.

Murdoch is a liberal; remember he supports Clinton. He’s nothing but an opportunist. If he thought he could make more $ on a MSNBC type network, he would.

An interesting study would be to find articles (IF ANY) on our war in Afghanistan since the administration gave the draw down date and count how many times the word WAR is used.

And part of our service there is to guard the poppy fields. We wasted peoples lives in Afghanistan.

My son was one of those and that should not have been in the COIN agenda, which it wasn’t but it was a by-product, I’m sure they would say.

However, and I am quoting myself, I look at everything, everything, from an eternal point of view. Those who served because they love their country, their families, their brothers in arms, and do their part out of love, have not loved in vain. No Greater Love is never given in vain.
