Because our military is being used to ensure that the Muslim Brotherhood is not 'hampered' in their goal to invade, loot, rape, and pillage.

Why in the HELL are our soldiers on PATROL duty ? After ten years of so called 'training' why aren't the Afghans doing this ? Too dangerous for them ? ..... or are they so damned stupid they'll need a few more years of training before they can drive down a road in an armored car ? What a criminal waste of our precious soldiers. DAMN !!!

Politics. We are trying to "withdraw with honor" or some crap. At this point I don't think we should have ever occupied the place. Revenge I understand. But Afghanistan is no Germany and pouring billions of dollars into Afghanistan / Pakistan is no Marshall Plan.

We didn't learn from history.
