A friend who has served in Afghanistan tells me the Afghans are quite near-sighted and not too mentally developed. She said it is due to poor prenatal care and poor nuitrition. I guess that means we are stuck there. Maybe we could just introduce the WIC program to them and bring our people home. Better yet, send Michelle over to teach them about good nuitrition and how to cook a low fat camel.

Since WWII, have there been any Constitutionally-declared wars?

Have there been any total wars, where our goals were to vanquish the enemy?

Have there been any wars where the civilian population were on a wartime footing, or made any real sacrifices at all?

Have there been any wars were we used all the weapons at our disposal?

Have there been any wars that ended with unconditional surrenders?

Despite our lopsided use of the most incredible whiz bang technology, despite the bravery and training of our troops, despite enormous expenditures of blood and treasure, despite taking on enemies of small size, vastly inferior weaponry, ragtag training and logistics, we have not won a war since WWII.

And it is by design. We have not been allowed to win a war since WWII.

Allowed by whom? Our globalist politicians, in league with globalists from around the globe.

Young people need to know that when they think of signing up. There is no draft now. They make a choice to go in, as I did during Vietnam, and as with Vietnam, they will not be “defending America.”

They need to know who and what they are risking their lives for. They are not defending America, though the globalist politicians and media try to convince them they are. Indeed, all the wars since WWII have resulted in little more than loss of our sovereignty, loss of young lives, loss of fortune, and loss of national pride and cohesion. Our wars amount to follies, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing of any benefit to our country, and signifying much that undermines it.

Americans should no longer participate in such follies. The American people should demand that we enter no wars without due Constitutional process declaring such wars. The American people should demand that we enter no wars we will not fight fully, using all our weapons to the fullest, with the goal of devastating and annihilating our enemy until the few that remain beg for our mercy and surrender unconditionally. Until we are ready do that, we should no longer go to war, and our young should no longer sign up for the deadly social experiment that passes for our military.

Where are the dailey American soldier death counts on the front pages of every paper?
Oh yeah, that was during G.W.’s war not the magic negro’s war.
No bias here, move along.

Do you think that Obama cares even a little bit that six Americans were killed in Afghanistan?
It’s time to quit calling the Democrats a Party. They are an organized crime mob dedicated to looting the public treasury.

The Afghans should be doing the patrolling, not Americans.

The Afghan troops are the ones busily planting the bombs and IED's - now you want them to conduct combat patrols too?
