All our young men and women in Afghanistan need are a clear mission, the tools to complete it and the support from home. There is nothing worse than an army without purpose.
We’re going to cut and run.
Just because the Commander In Cheif hasn’t a clue?
Well, for starters, we can impeach this lying pile of elephant dung.
Its a fine charity that I’ve supported.
But what we really need to send the troops is a real Commander in Chief, one who can make a decision instead of flying around the world apologizing for America.
If Obama is not going to support the troops in the Middle East then bring them home.
If he decides he wants to declare victory he needs to stop dithering and send enough troops in to do the job.
It’s an easy choice to make...unless you’re The One!
Agreed, but let our troops know that we did it for them.
ever since they found out about the results of the presidential election,..its been plunging exponentially.
Sure wish I was convinced you’re wrong.
I still know fellow soldiers over there and they have said that they are really pissed off this year.
There has been no back up for them and they need more help.
They are out on an outpost in HeLmund province and the problem is that the military for the UK and us are stretched out too far and we need more men
obama is really putting down morale from what I know and they are no w fed up of how they are being treated. The plan was to get Bin Laden and his sidekicks including the taliban.
The obama comes in and he says he will talk to moderates in the taliban which even the taliban laughed at because there is no moderates .
Now the white house is saying how they might just go back to how it was under clinton which was a joke.
Now he will NOT make a decision which is having an effect
This is appalling and either this President gets a grip and starts to show some leadership or the morale is going down even further
Every site I have been to is running this AP story, indicating that morale is down because “the war is 8 years old”. But there was no problem when it was 6 years old, or even seven.
Morale is down because they know Obama is not in it to win it - his goal is to cut and run. Who wouldn’t be low over it? My cousin’s son had a concussion, and was put back into combat a few days later, because Obama never sent the proper reinforcements. Would that not kill your morale?
“Well, for starters, we can impeach this lying pile of elephant dung.”
- I would pay good money to see that. And to think, Bill Clinton was impeached with a lying under oath charge. What Obama has done, and will do, far surpasses anything Clinton did. This will only get worse the longer that Stalin-wannabe is in office.
What is interesting is that the military angle was not always affiliated with Conservatism. There was a time in which they were indifferent to either party, but then the Dems decided not to support them. And then that responsibility fell upon us.
I had two tours in Iraq coming home in Nov. of 05 Troop moral was high because we had a real CIC and knew what the mission was- To liberate the Iraqi people from the Saddam Hussein dictatorship. My heart bleeds for the boots on the ground in Afganistan because of the cowadice of the current white house occupant. Grrrr—Spit
Yes.
I’m sure he has a lot in common with Hasan in that neither of them wish to fight fellow muslims.
I'm no fan of Rudy Giuliani, but he was exactly right when he spoke about Obama's inability to make a decision:

Need we say more?
Thank you for your service.
