We all know that at the end of the day Bammy will cut and run from Afghanistan just as he did in Iraq. I don’t want more brave men to die for a mission Bammy and the Dims will make sure fails.

This president likes to brag that he is really good at killing people.

Yeah, the wrong ones. He’s good at killing babies, border patrol agents, U.S. diplomats, conservative journalists, and U.S. soldiers.

Yeah. I know. Sad....
When my son was in Iraq for 3 tours under Bush, there was a steady drum beat of negative news just like I saw with Vietnam.
He had stupid ROE then, but got much worse with o’bozo. Then the allowing of fudge-packers and he had enough...
he got out after 8 years. 3.5 in combat zone.

I know there are many guys with the same or more in service that have “had enough”,and it makes me sick to see these brave warrior’s treated like crap!!!!!

(I better stop the rant now before I say something to get me in trouble with the mod’s)

It’s worse under Obama

Had a campaign promise been kept no losses would hsve occurred to “nation building”. Granted it would be the same shit hole on exit as entrance. They like it that way apparently.

Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer says that a major factor is the fact that it’s against Obama Administration, Pentagon policy to inquire about Afghanis’ opinions or beliefs, to try to ascertain if they’re truly friendlies, because of fear of offending them. So, police trainees or civilian traders around military bases are infiltrated by enemies.

I was asking if ROE was the reason, not for an explanation of ROE. Did you not read the very next post?
