A conservative congressman said on Thursday that top generals may resign or retire early if President Barack Obama does not make a significant changes to the military's Afghan strategy.
"Sure, I think that's a legitimate concern," Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told Washington Times Radio this morning. "If the president chooses [not to readjust the strategy] but stay there, I think you'll see that kind of a thing happen, then I think you'll see those kinds of resignations."
Ryan expressed worry that the current strategy in Afghanistan is not working. Administration officials have said they are conducting a strategic review of the conflict there. He called for the White House to enact changes quickly

During Carter administration we established the rights of illegal aliens to free public education. Just a guess.
Blackhawk down, and we did nothing, in fact we re-elected the guy, who stated in his own hand, he loathed the military.
Why are they no longer showing the returning caskets that they went to court over?
No big deal Clinton found Clark to run his war. I am sure Obama can find another lieutenant that is a liberal someplace to promote to be the commanding general.
Re your post #21, I am afraid that that phrase (”could care less”) is tossed out with no thinking about its illogicality. It bothers me too.
OP
I was sent a list of ROE from some guys I served with in Iraq - might as well not carry weapons - can’t use them. Next, 0bama will restrict patrols in order not to over pollute Afghanistan...you know keep emissions down so the good people of the Stan can have clean air to breathe....
Thanks for Service!
I was honored to have served with Vietnam vets in 2003 - 2008 in Iraq - I can’t imagine being in service that long - going through the hell that you guys went through. I say this, despite war - we had a lot of technology over there that relieved our stress...I say this even to those in Korea and WW II - and was lucky enough to meet one of the last living vet’s of WW I...you guys did alot for us - made deployment easier - and surviving as well.
So - Thanks - from one Vet to another!
Please say your thanks to the man at the link I posted.
Thanks for your service.
It is truly so absurd he MUST be impeached SOON!
Well - the Olympic Committee went with Rio - so that was a direct “smack in the face” to 0bama - maybe with Iran’s completion of a nuclear missile system and successful strikes in the coming months - maybe the rest of the world and US will wake up and throw him out of the office.
Of course that means internationally - the world has gone to crap - because of a weak US - something decent people worldwide actually depend on - even though their govt’s may hate us...
I get the feeling that the Army has too too many obots with stars. Once obambi is out of the White House, providing he isn’t removed violently, then the Army along with everything else will get better.
The Army has led the way with black officers, with nearly double the percentage at times over the past three decades as the other services. Blacks represented 11 percent to 12 percent of all Army officers during that time, compared with 4 percent to 8 percent in the Navy, Air Force and Marines.
I’m buying your book.
Thanks - understand that the traditional publishing houses read it - and came back with some excuse that they were not taking any military history at the moment - So - I had to print this myself and pre-order a bunch to mail out.
On top of that, for security - I’m using PayPal for the transactions. As soon as your order pops up - I’ll mail it out to you priority mail.
Thanks

Can you print those ROEs, the American People need to know how handcuffed our troops are. Vietnam Redux
This is pretty close to what I received....
However, it’s not the generals taking weapons away - it’s the politicians - like 0bama...
Basically if there is a fight, and civs are present, retreat.
Retreat....sounds nice doesn’t it...
I know of 17 guys that were were killed or wounded really “bad” over in Iraq - people I ate chow with - shot the sh*t with - briefed on the danger AO - and now this!
the sooner the Prez is impeached - the better!
