When you go to fight a war, ther are few rules, we have many.
Drop the pretense and fight this war like a real war. Kill the enemy wherever you find them and if civilians get in the way that’s tough. We canot win a war for the hearts of Afghanistan, and we need to stop trying.
Fight this war to win and I can agree with you, the fact is that most of our deaths and woundings are coming from IED’s and weapons supplied buy Iran, If we wish to win we need to take out Iran.
I do not blieve we are making progress in Afghanistan and I believe the fact that many of our troops have been killed when those we trained and tried to help turned on them and killed them proves that out.
I am now of a mind to remove all troops from middle-eastern countries and from third world nations anywhere.
As long as we’re tip toe-ing around, why use our boys as IED fodder (once called cannon fodder). Why put our helicopters over countries that want to shoot them down.
After all these years of whatever it is we’ve been doing, nothing’s changed.
I say concentrate on intelligence operations, bring all troops home and if anyone attacks, give fair warning to civilians but totally bomb the infrastructure. Turn those countries into sand and salt the sand.
But, of course, we’d have to ‘ruin our environment’ by drilling for our own resources.
Who’s willing to sacrifice our troops but not an Alaskan wasteland? Not me.
Well thee reason is clear, they wanted to go to more important news about the trouble mac, the cat baby liar, daddy, is having trying to decide where he will be going for his 150th vacation at the tax payers expense seeing how there are no pressing problems to attend to at the present time.
