Unfortunately the American people just elected a Nimrod as their CINC just like we did in 1964.
I agree—let’s get out now and let the Muzzies be.
AQ is the enemy and they are not there. We won’t win in Afghanistan without a huge offensive, and that moutainous hellhole is not worth one more American soldier.
If the enemy is not there, and if this Admin. makes our troops fight under impossibile ROEs that will get them killed, then get them home.
We’re in Europe for 65 years, Korea for 59 years, Serbia for 14 years, Middle East since 1990, Afghanistan 8 years, and Iraq for 6 years.
I say enough.
Nuke anyone that tries to hurt us. Keep the Muzzies in their sandbox and let them blow each other up.
I lived through the Vietnam era and saw how the politicians threw away the brave sacrifices of our troops and pissed on the 58,000 men killed trying to free South Vietnam. Because of the perfidy and treachery of Democrats, over three million innocent people were slaughtered in the years after 1975; an unknown number drowned in the South China Sea trying to float to freedom.
Zero doesn’t want us to have victory in Afghanistan—because victory is not good for his fellow Muslims.
No more of our military dying for impossible missions for a Commander in Chief that is rooting for their enemy.
Bring them home.
>>We won’t win in Afghanistan without a huge offensive,
We won’t win in Pakistan without a huge offensive, IMO, that’s where AQ is, but all your points apply.
The writing is on the wall with all these statements by Congresscritters. All Afghanis allied with us are now making plans for their own survival. These statements have now thoroughly alienated us from even our friends there who are no doubt confused by the statements from Generals there, the Congress and Obama.

Right on !
Anderson Cooper has been reporting from Afghanistan this past week from some Obama forsaken Marine outpost.
They have no fresh food, just MREs ,very primitive conditions, no AC in 130 degree heat, their exercise area is an old tire and a sledge hammer .
The animals in US zoos have better living conditions-and despite that, the Marines are , as expected, unconcerned about their lack of amenities and up beat .
Cooper been very ,very laudatory in his reporting.
What really caught my attention was CNN’s embed-Michael Ware.
He was very sober about how Kandahar and the rest of the country has deteriorated as the Taliban have strengthened.
He said that the US is going to have to change tactics and strategy-
Guess Barry’s “ Have You Hugged A Taliban, Today ? “ ROE is even turning off CNN .
And bring in more troops and other assets and rethink how they are fighting this war if we are going to turn things around.
Ware then said that all eyes were on Washington wondering-
“ Is President Obama ready to step up and fight this war ? “
Oh, hell no , he isn’t and everybody knows it.
Especially the Taliban and Al Queda.
” No more of our military dying for impossible missions for a Commander in Chief that is rooting for their enemy.”
I hear that so often , especially from family members of the deployed.
I don’t know how widespread that sentiment is among the troops, but,
they do know he is making them fight , when he permits them to defend themselves , at a disadvantage.
