The Never-ending War mustn’t end.
Leave and eradicate the poppy fields on the way out.
Someone want to explain why afganapakistan is a place the U.S. wants to send our troops to?
Should have never set foot in Afghanistan.
A month of B-52 raids daily would have done as much as was needed.
You got to keep the global war on something going....come on...do your part!
To whom?
The people at the top, secretly aligned with the DRUG TRADE..?
End the friggin war(s) NOW. if they act up saturation bomb them ala Sit Arthur (Bomber) Harris or Curtis (bombs-away) LeMay.
Waste of lives , you’ll never change a thing
SIR not SIT
We can’t leave and we can’t stay.
What’s the strategy?
This statement alone means the man is not qualified for the position and no further consideration should be given him.
Nominating Obamite Milley is the real mistake.
Remember when the Democrats told us that Bush neglected “the real war” in Afghanistan? Obama had a “date-certain” to surrender and then he didn’t. Sure, we’ve been there way too long. That said, cutting and running always has the same result. Since we now hate “you break it, you buy it” nation-building, prepare for the Taliban to violate any negotiated agreement, take over the place and foster terrorist group like ISIS. The only strategy we can possibly have is go back every couple of years and thin the herd. The “give peace a chance” and the “none of our business” folk never have an answer beyond now, now, now. It’s not like America hasn’t cut and run repeatedly since the 50s. All American enemies know this and use it to their maximum advantage.
I thought President Trump was going to put a stop to all this, no?
Or did I get that from fake news?
Burning and salting (or perhaps irradiating) Afghanistan so not one poppy ever grows there for a century would be an immense boon to the planet, and to future world history.
Upton Sinclair:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
2.4 trillion dollars protecting the bacha bazi boy rape culture. In today’s dollars, WWII cost us around 4 trillion.
A few goat humpers in the hills have cost us more that half of the cost of defeating Germany and Japan.
I know when I’m being scammed. If this was to protect us against terrorism, we wouldn’t let them into America. We would maybe even freeze all Saudi assets.... if this was about terrorism.
What kind of insanity thinks Afghanistan will ever be anything other than what it is? The USSR went there and couldn’t tame the place. Their ROE were the ROE of the Soviet Union. And we think our pussified “respecting islam” approach will ever succeed?
We are there now because it’s good for our senior officers and the defense industry.
Progress at a peace table? Is that what you see as progress, the Taliban winning , General?
