I wish Patton were still around.

Then this war would really end and the Taliban would not have Pakistan as a sanctuary.

Afghanistan is a higher tech, lower casaulty no-win Korea and Vietnam type of conflict run by the elite that Ron Paul despises.

Paul’s problem is he has cast in his lot with the Left in opposing the war and not attacked it as a no-win rules of engagement limited war of the style pursued by LBJ and Nixon in the 1960’s and 70’s.

Patton and MacArthur would never make general rank in today’s highly politicized, politically correct military.

I hear you.

The major problem though, the IslamOfascists
war is not your grandfather’s WWII

They don’t wear a uniform, no front or rear lines,
It is a circular war. The enemy hides behind women and children.
Their allies, Iran and others have weapons to do major damage in kind.
This war has to be fought very differently.

IF we pick up and go home, the IslamOfascists are also here.
We have to take them out where they are rooted and go from there.
