Guess my oldest granddaughter will be one of those unasked for/unsigned agreement "contingent" troops then. N. Guard unit being deployed to 'ghansitan next year. Weird huh? I guess karzai is waiting for the "wheelbarrow full of money" addendum before he signs.

Can anybody give me a valid reason why we are STILL there ?

[BerryDingle]

Karzai needs a jack handle to the head in a dark alley somewhere before we pull out of there.

The US military should have seen Afghanistan as it should see Mecca and Medina, through a bomb sight.

My son and only a portion of his brigade are deploying there soon. My obvious concern for all of our forces in Afghanistan is the criminal ROE imposed on them every day, but also the high risk of added casualties as we collapse our presence there at the end of next year.

So, we are now sending units to this black hole in piecemeal to conduct a dubious mission under severe operational restrictions against a fanatical enemy. What could possibly go wrong?

Karzai will probably get his wheelbarrow full of money either way. Last I heard, his government wants a huge “export tax” to allow us to take our military hardware with us. I’d rather destroy it all. Or use it to shoot our way out of the country.

Bring our Troops home. Now. Current ROE have made them sitting ducks.
