According to my son, who, thanks to God, has been back from that hell-hole since the end of January, there is no military mission in Afghanistan anymore.
Its really a police mission.
That should be handled by the locals.
Much like Iraq has been handled by the locals, fairly well so far, everything considered.
SoldierDad,
I just said a prayer thanking GOD for your sons safe return.
Which I figure is about 999,999,999 short of how many you offered up.
Your answer is about what I figure.
