It infuriates me when NATO, and especially American, troops are killed by roadside bombs. The Afghans should be doing the patrolling, not Americans. How the hell long do these worthless people need to be TRAINED before they are capable of protecting their own families? Six more precious American young soldiers are now dead for NOTHING !

A friend who has served in Afghanistan tells me the Afghans are quite near-sighted and not too mentally developed. She said it is due to poor prenatal care and poor nuitrition. I guess that means we are stuck there. Maybe we could just introduce the WIC program to them and bring our people home. Better yet, send Michelle over to teach them about good nuitrition and how to cook a low fat camel.

The Afghan troops are the ones busily planting the bombs and IED's - now you want them to conduct combat patrols too?
