You should respect that part of your family which decided to volunteer for duty knowing full well where they would be headed and support them and their cause instead of wishing foe a defeat in Afghanistan. Note: before you go off on me, I served 20 years in the AF so “been there and done that”.

Well I been there, done that too. I buried my two cousins in 1968 and 1970 while my government didn't have the courage to even mine Haiphong Harbor.

Well here we are, stuck with New Kids On The Block that won't send reinforcements until we are "sure of our Afghan partners". Our military can't wait 3 years for a new President with some courage.

Do you think our military has any confidence in their "War President" when he just got pimped with the Nobel Peace Prize? Does anyone think Obama, as obsessed as he is with his place in history, is going to expand this war?

This war needs to be fought in Pakistan just like it should have been fought in Laos and Cambodia, out in the open, where ever the enemy is. I will risk my family if they can take the gloves off.

If this war is going to be fought in DC it can only be lost and our American blood wasted. I personally would rather sit down with Omar than Obama, more could be done.
