Interesting. In case you aren’t aware, Iraq and Afghanistan have very different geography, roads, and population density and it makes what you described much more difficult.

Nah, I never considered that in a million years. I guess my pal in spec ops hadn’t thought of that either.

No. Not being able to shoot at Taliban who are indoors makes it much more difficult.

True dat. The Iraqi are about 3 centuries ahead of the Afghanis in terms of modern culture. Makes a huge difference when a 21st century western force is trying to “win the hearts and minds of the people”

Now, back to watching the Prevaricator in Chief continue his tango with the media and the American people about how much smarter he is than his generals

God Help our troops over there struggling while the incompetent narcissist muses out loud about not yet having a “strategy” (ie, whether to win or lose)
