Uh-huh. Your opinion is duly noted.
Tell me, sir, for what purpose are we in Afghanistan now, training the next round of terrorists on the taxpayer dollar?
Couldn't tell you. Mission creep has set in, as has the inevitable clusterf*ck of managing a NATO operation. Iraq was multinational-in-name-only (apart from the Brits). In Afghanistan, NATO is king, and it's a PITA to deal with. I can't imagine how we ever planned to halt the Soviet hordes with it.
How is that a win/win situation for Americans?
When you kill them there, they don't come over here. Small comfort, but there it is.
Our soldiers aren’t even allowed to shoot back and they’re dying like turkeys in a turkey shoot over there.
Bullshit on both counts. Your lack of tactical knowledge definitely gives you away here.
What kind of sense is that making to the grand dames running the Pentagon?
True believers and career-protectors alike have a vested interest in fighting it out over there, but in the end it will be futile for a variety of reasons.
“Couldn’t tell you. Mission creep has set in...” Okie dokie, sure, clear as mud...
“When you kill them there, they don’t come over here. Small comfort, but there it is...” Okie dokie, but we’re training them, not killing them.
“Bullshit on both counts. Your lack of tactical knowledge definitely gives you away here.” Okie dokie, I guess those body bags coming back to the US abut 9 at the time, are just plastic bags fulla garbage?
“True believers and career-protectors alike have a vested interest in fighting it out over there, but in the end it will be futile for a variety of reasons.” Okie dokie, but that was rather the point I was making myself. Somehow I didn’t make it clear enough, I guess.
Thanks for your response, it cleared every thing up so marvelously. Rock on.
