What a waste. For what? This is just part of the price that we all pay as Americans for having people who hate America running America.
This brave young man's sense of duty and supreme sacrifice has been reduced to, using Edmund Burke's phrase in a related context, "an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle".
Yup. Osama’s dead and ‘nation building’ for Afgn is a waste of time. Most of the strikes on the Taliban are with predators which could be operated out of Khazakstan.
I disagree. The very willingness of Americans to go to the ends of the earth and fight and die for their country is part of what keeps us secure. We are safer because there is nowhere so remote that our enemies can hide and feel safe.
