Because it is better to fight in THEIR neighborhood, than in ours.
While I agree there should be no pullout of our troops, I think it is important to acknowledge WhiteGuy's point that a mere fraction of that, 12 thousand could make a tremendous impact.
I think to dismiss the entire concept out of hand with the vague concept of "fighting over there" is to miss the importance of our WOT not only includes, but is most important HERE.
To paraphrase, I care because it is better to lose a sneak attack battle in THEIR neighborhood, than in ours.
Hogwash. Many are fighting in their neighborhoods, and have been for years. Ever been to any border towns? Ever seen the brutal crime committed by thousands of illegals?
Because it is better to fight in THEIR neighborhood, than in ours.

A fight on our soil can be PREVENTED by closing our borders and expelling foreign invaders already here.
Oh I forgot to add.....................
It may be too late, the brain trust in Washington has been ignoring the problem for almost 3 years.
