You know, if you're really honest about it, Afghanistan filled with Taliban insurgents up to it's eyeballs is safer on the whole than just about all of Northern Mexico.

In Mexico they have people hanging from lampposts every day, multiple decapitated policemen's heads floating down the Rio Grande and Tijuana rivers like melons, bodies missing limbs turning up in piles outside schools, and whole towns fleeing the violence with the entire police force being the first to vamoose.

And Afghanistan is waaay over there, while Mexico keeps slithering into your living room inch by inch, day by day.

Time to call it quits in Afghanistan. We have more justification to start war with Mexico than we do spending one more minute over in Afghanistan.

Ah, not so inaccurate, eh?

My nephew is in a Stryker Brigade in Kandahar. He was home earlier this month on leave and while he was here, his SGT and one other were killed by an IED. Dangerous, dangerous place. Scary for the family to read this kind of stuff.
