Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited Afghanistan on Tuesday to assess progress in the nine-year conflict, as the Obama administration measures whether it can meet its goal of beginning to withdraw U.S. forces in July.

Gates' trip is touted as a holiday visit to thank close to 100,000 U.S. troops serving in the war. But his observations and meetings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai as well as top U.S. military and civilian leaders will probably provide crucial last-minute guidance for a review of U.S. military policy in Afghanistan due for completion next week.

While there, Gates, a supporter of getting rid of DADT, and also a big fan of his comrade Janet Napolitano's TSA, will grope and fondle the troops genitalia and take nude photos of them for his "private" collection.

In a perfect world the clueless SecDef bent on implementing Soetoro's social engineering experiment regarding open homos serving in the armed forces would have been forced to sleep overnight in enlisted berthing and used the community head beneath the bow cats during his first visit to a deployed carrier.

Thanks pinstripes715. There’s more reliance on UAVs without much regard for collateral casualties (and yes, I am in favor of doing it that way) under Zero than there was under GWB, whereas the ROE Zero has in effect is total 8u][$h!+.
