The minute we started withdrawing troops out of Iraq, we need to get of Afghanistan IMHO. Wouldn’t shock me to see the Brits draw way down there. It is an impossible terrain and the rules of engagement have changed to make the soldiers fight with one hand behind their back. When you have to stay away from civilian areas to bomb when you know the enemy is there, you have lost the war IMO. That means the Taliban just has to hide in villages and they are safe to go out pick off our troops and return to the village.

ZERO doesn’t have a clue and his plan is going to get American soldiers killed needlessly IMHO. Vietnam was micromanged by LBJ and we lost soldiers needlessly there as well.
