Here’s what I don’t understand; everyone’s reaction to France is “I wouldn’t send troops either” yet we aren’t calling for immediate withdrawal of our own guys. WTF?

The current rules of engagement are almost designed to ensure more of our young men die on the battlefield while AP photographers snap pictures.

The Commander in Chief, if you can call him that, isn't interested in winning or bothering to take time away from his busy schedule to make decisions about this conflict.

Congress isn't too concerned with the war. $2.6 billion was recently diverted from guns and ammunition for troops to pay for politicians’ pet projects.

Given those conditions, and assuming they won't change, then we should withdraw our troops. We all know how this story ends.

Thank you. A voice of reason at last.

At the same time weapons are malfunctioning and soldiers are dying. The money should be in developing more reliable weapons if it's not going directly to the troops.
