You can have all the ROE you want. But as of yet, Afghanistan is an open door for rags, you can pump 300K troops in there and there will never be peace.

You have to have an idea of what 'victory' is and what you willing to put up in the number of deaths there.[Yes, I've been deployed there].

But as a whole, it's a police action there. It's gonna get worse, because more guys are be sent there, and there will never be civilized evolution there. Sorry, not all societies are equal.

What you have described is essentially Vietnam II.

You are still wrong.
I'm not talking about strategy, goals, aims, desires, plans, policies, politics, national identities, tribes, allegiances, troop levels, economics, peace, police actions, exit strategies, or ‘victory.’

I'm talking about rules of engagement set up by liberals where four Marines call for artillery support and are told the ROE says they don't qualify under the new guidelines where they might have last month.
