Quite frankly I am shocked that we were able to send our people over there to get maimed and killed year after year with both hands tied behind their backs and there have been very few instances of this.

I figured it was just a matter of time before someone or even some units went Apocalypse Now on those Afghan asses and started playing war for real.

Agreed! War is not about nation building. War is about destroying an enemies threat for at least one generation. That is why war stinks.

Very good point. And you heard it here first ... at some point in the future we're likely to face this sort of thing right here in the U.S. with soldiers who return from Afghanistan permanently scarred from his experience over there in that sh!t-hole.
