Tell me the reason why we are still in Afghanistan? Our political correctness on the battlefield is killing our soldiers. IMHO lets conduct a massive spec ops raid into the heart of the NWFP, clean house, and kill who needs to be killed and then exit. Afghanistan is turning into a waste. We had the initiative, and have since lost it.

Sad part is you could have wrote that several years ago and still been right.

Chris Moon - I never knew you. I read the newspaper article about you, and learned what a wonderful young person you were. In terms of your age you were barely out of boyhood, but, you died a Man, an American and a hero.
I will write here the ancient words that we Jews have spoken for thousands of years to honor the memory of the righteous who have died:
.זיכרונו לברכה (Zikhrono livrakha: May his memory be for a blessing.)
Rest in peace, young soldier.

Regardless of how some may feel about this war, he went when he was called..........it is because of men like him that we are a free nation........he will in no way lose his reward.
