The number of dead and injured has been double every month for a year - ever since the CIC enacted his new ROE's that don't allow our troops to fire back under most circumstances and must, among other insanities, if they capture the enemy, cannot question but must read them 'their Miranda Rights" - since when do these people HAVE Miranda Rights?

Where is the media now?

We have more troops on the ground, and we’re taking it to the Taliban like never before. Wow, imagine that, more engagements. Who knew?

It’s like dealing with children that want a new toy you don’t think is best for them, and they keep asking, “Why not mommy?”

Our press is just pathetic.

As for our troops, Goodspeed. I am concerned for your safety men and women. My respect and best wishes go out to you.

Where is the uproar? Why are the Generals carrying out these murderous new ROE (Rules of Engagement) that would (and HAS and IS) resulting in increased deaths among OUR troops? (But the rationale was that it would be beneficial in the long run. TO WHOM - beside the Taliban?)

Well, it's been a year now that our troops have had their hands tied, that can't shoot at the enemy in most circumstances, that have been denied air cover when pinned down - because to protect them MIGHT hurt a civilian, if there were any around, etc.,

This is insanity. Our troops are scarified to protect the enemy...well, OUR enemy, not sure about the WH.

The silence from the press is deafening.

The objections from our generals is not only not there - they are telling us we must accept this now and in the coming months.

DO WE?

The real insult is that they are so insolent in denying their all too obvious bias.

I compared the media's reaction to football coaching with our ROE and planning in the war.

Coaches would be fired by morning if they prepared such impossible tasks and plans for their players, as the politicians have created for Afghanistan.

It would be like ... if Jerry Jones became the general manager of a hypothetical team, brought in the wrong players for positions, meddled with the game day decisions and then second guessed the coaching staff and players, blaming them to the media when all went wrong ....

Oh, never mind.

Dead soldiers are only victims if the government’s conservative...their just failures under a leftist one.

Kids being sent to a place they don’t understand and being killed so that a bunch of idiots can sell out Israel.

Seriously what is wrong with this place.
