But on a serious note, I should mention, that I am always scouring these pics for my bro...he is working in this Province in Afghanistan. (I thought he was in the orange hat at first)

"suicidal stupid riles of engagement"

If the US follows the Petreaus/McKrystal counterinsurgency(COIN) mission, those are the rule of engagement that you will have to accept.

If you don't like those rules of engagement, then you should support Biden's conterterrorism mission.

Those are your two choices: Counter-insurgency or Counter-Terrorism.

Also at the Frontline website on Obama's War, there are some interviews you should read.

First, the John Nagl interview. Nagl was Petreaus' advisor, "best and brightest". West Point and a Rhodes Scholar. An expert on counter-insurgency, he was a member of the team that rewrote the Army/Marine counterinsurgency manual that is being used in Afghan. Last Jan, Nagl became president of the think tank, Center for a New American Security(CNAS).

Second, the Andrew Exum interview. Exum was McKrystal's advisor and is now a Senior Fellow at CNAS.

Nagl replaced Michelle Flournoy who was co-founder and president at CNAS after she became Obama's Undersecretary of Defense for Policy which is the #3 civilian job at DOD. There were about 10-12 individuals at CNAS who went to work for Obama.

We use to have bad ass American generals like Grant and Patton.

Now we have morons who blame themselves for the violence of our enemies.

No wonder we now have the George McFly military strategy.

Look, Its a simple problem. Islam wants to rule the planet, We gonna let them or not? Its not rocket science, a backwards bunch of goat herders in sandals with rudimentary weapons and little to no training at all are kicking our ass for one reason and one reason only, we’re letting them win because of our candy ass liberal kiddie gloves bleeding heart BS policy.

Take the gloves off and let the military do their job and the war will be over in a month. They’ll think twice before they attack us again.. Ask the Japanese, they’ll tell you.
