“He should just retire and go out with his head held high, rather than be “the one who lost the war in Afghanistan.”
It’s more than that with military leaders. He doesn’t want to give orders to put his men’s lives at risk without the full support they need. If he’s put in that position, he probably will resign.
Because I know nothing about wars, I have a few questions.
1. If a general can resign, can all his troops do the same?
2. Since Prez picked McChrystal is this all a ploy to act
like the Prez doesn’t really want to send more troops, but
in reality he does?
3. I thought Afghanistan was “unwinable” so why send more
troops to be killed or left stranded over there.
4. In the old days, when people were working and spending
and life was good - people would be screaming about this
fight, so is that why all this crisis has been created to
distract us from what he really wants to do (to send all
our boys over there to die) leaving us unprotected with
a collapsing country?
