Wobbly. Please. Nine years and $327 billion into the war and the Marine commandant is quoting a lance corporal about going wobbly. Twenty- or 21-year-old lance corporals can think like that, but 62-year-old generals are supposed to have a better grasp of political reality.
Maybe the country is going "wobbly" because it has come to realize that this is a tribal war for nationhood fought by guerrillas who don't think like U.S. troops.
Maybe the country is going "wobbly" because it keeps hearing about our loyal ally, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, releasing his cronies from jail, where they had been tossed for corruption.
Maybe we can do the math and see the attrition rate from the Afghan security forces that we're spending billions to train is something on the order of 50 percent. Marines don't see lost causes. Other Americans do.
America owes Gen. Conway its thanks for his 40 years of service. It's too bad he chose to end it like this.
Screw the St. Louis Today website. There isn't anyone any of the scum on the "editorial" staff of that joke organization worthy to lick camel dung off the Commandants' boots.
Gen. Conway, Semper Fi, Sir.
Yes, the General is doing this nation, and this pice of sh!t President a great service by telling the truth...on his way out the door.
He's retiring in a month or two, already announced.
“lick camel dung off the Commandants’ boots.”
I think you meant to say the lance corporals boots.
