Why did we have a “surge” if we are planning to get troops out of Iraq shortly?????
Thats just another reason not to support this weak and non existant war effort from Washington: we wont confront Iran on their killing Americans, we wont execute prisoners after the enemy executes American POWs, we are clueless on how many troops to have in the country, and we allow sanctuaries where the enemy can go to escape our soldiers. We have the bravest, best trained soldiers in the world who are doing a magnificent job with what they are allowed to do. How about we allow them to win or get the hell out now?
EXACTLY!
The culture recognizes force, not handouts (which are seen as tribute--a sign of weakness and resignation). We also need to put the home front on a war footing, too, if we are serious about things.
