Being cut for bait is not a policy destined to boost troop morale!

Qucik ... someone tell “O”!

Who could possibly be surprised by this?? Zero's dithering makes the troops nervous. He has no plan! He won't listen to his Military advisers! He, Biden and Hillary! are making the Military decisions with NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE! Pray for our troops and our country.

Maybe the newly restrictive rules of engagement are having a negative impact on morale.

The blame ultimately rests with the dithering-in-chief.

IIRC, morale wasn’t that great during the Carter years. Fortunately, the Soviets were in worse shape than we imagined.

From the looks of things, I think they are safer in Afghanistan than at Ft. Hood. Oh yea, our mental health professionsals seem to be the biggest threat to our troops. That and PC policies.

No kidding. We’re leaving these brave young people over there with their asses hanging out. What do we expect.

They have a CIC that can’t find his ass with both hands and would prefer to vote “present” on all of it.

Well gee, big surprise!! We have an anti-military POS in the White House serving as the CIC, supported by a marxist congress that could care less about the loss of a little cannon fodder.

Top that with the major stall tactic for getting more boots on the ground, costing additional troop's lives,further showing that this miserable puppet, prezadint zero, is more than willing to let our heros die!

Shouldn't they be overjoyed??

This is nothing short of a travesty!

Considering this is from MSNBC and considering that the MSM has gone totally to the Left and considering the Left wants us out of Afghanistan for strategic reasons (proximity to Iran and Pakistan) and considering that lately we have been hearing calls for “an exit strategy” (why do you need an exit strategy unless you intend to retreat?) I consider it just the next propaganda piece to truly discourage the troops and prepare the American people for withdrawal. (Would that be called a run-on sentence? :-))

That would be a terrific blunder! Afghanistan is between Iran and Pakistan and right in the middle of the terrorist hotbed. If we withdraw, Pakistan and Iraq will fall into the hands of the terrorists and all our sacrifices will have been for naught. The terrorists will have a large base from which to attack the rest of the world. They will be able to seize most of the worlds oil supply.

This will result in a world of total turmoil and allow the One Worlders to seize power for good. After all, if the USA is on their side who can oppose them?

It is time for Pogo’s philosophy: “We have found the enemy and it is us!”

The American people support our troops in Afghanistan 100%.
The problem is that our president is in way over his head. How can you make a tactical decision when you are devoid of experience on anything military. I would hate to have to put my life on the line and know that my boss had been a Neighborhood Coordinator and had selected a group of bean counters as advisers.

They must be concerned about the potential loss of their ‘diversity’. Like that idiot, Gen. Casey. s/o.

“U.S. Army: Troop morale falls in Afghanistan”

Another chapter in Obama’s Plan to lose Afghanistan.

When the last US helicopter lifts off from the roof of our embassy in
Kabul, only then will Obama say “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” to all his
Muslim admirers.

US Troops’ morale may be falling, but after reading stuff like this, you can bet the Taliban’s morale is heading way up.

When our brave troops see the Commander in Chief as a coward, an appeaser, and a defeatist, has zero leadership, cannot make any tough decision and he is totally incompetent then of course their morale will drop badly.

Very unfortunately our terrorist enemies have been greatly emboldened because of Obama cowardice, defeatism, indecision, and total incompetence.

^ A new battlefield survey taken several months ago ^

I'm more interested in a poll taken after 0 and the media defended the Texas Jihadi, came up with new excuses to continue dithering on troop deployment, and decided to try 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and friends right there near ground zero in NY of all places!
