Well, that and having our hands tied by abusrdly restrictive ROE. Is/are the ROE’s even worse now in A-stan? If you’re not going in with total victory in mind, don’t waste our youngsters lives. Now it seems that if some civilian gets a john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry type splinter wound, the other “civilized” countries jump all over it and threaten war crimes charges. Guess what. War ain’t pretty and bad stuff happens.
The ROEs in Afghanistan and in Iraq and actually, all over the MAE are to Vietnam what 100 proof vodka is to Bud Lite..
