I’m not sure how you “battle” all day and only have 2 KIA. Maybe the definition of “battle” has changed since Vietnam. Of course the NVA didn’t rely on Allah to guide their bullets. Not that I want to see KIAs. But it just seems odd.

Get US out of there.

It’s always going to be like that.

We cannot drag them out of the 7th century.

“””” Maybe the definition of “battle” has changed since Vietnam.””””

obamas lawyers were busy all day writing sternly worded letters to the towelheads who were attacking the base.

This is what they do while we negotiate a truce with them. Not too late to do what we should have done 9/12/01

FLATTEN KABUL and every town / mountain with Taliban in it, right up to the Pakistan border.

Correct. I'm afraid we're going to have to bury them in it. Unless someone can think of a way to get them to give up their dream of planet-wide domination.

We need to get out of muslim countries, they are always telling us that’s why they are attacking us and get them all out of our country.

When they attack us anyway, as they will and are commanded by their prophet, we will have at least given peace a chance.

Islam cannot be peaceful.

It’s against their religion.

Good question.

But maybe bodies mushed and shredded and crushed into a pile of goo. . .unless you have a DNA testing kit, no way to make an accurate count. Or maybe simply can’t count the number because we don’t “do” body-count anymore. So maybe the media made the count and we know how accurate they are and would NEVER under-count to make the US look bad. Or the evil terrorists carried away the bodies of the killed? And how does one “count” KIA if they all look alike, civilian the terrorist? Since ROE plays a part— if a terrorist is killed, and then the body no longer has a weapon or bomb (taken away by other terrorists), he can’t be counted as a terrorist.

Or a combination thereof. . .who knows. . .

Shootings on Military bases. Afghanistan heating up. New Jersey acting normal. Muslems killing folks for Raghead propaganda stock footage. School shooting/nightclub shooting/racially motivated shootings all on order. Maybe The Cankle will announce her run for the 2020.

How do they let them get within 20 miles of the airbase? Should be a NO-GO Zone.

*** And salt the poppy fields before we leave. ***

After the US Military has been guarding them for years under the “so the farmers will like us” reasoning?

I’ve said for fifteen years that if we are not going to implement Operation Almighty Pork Sword on the Muslims we should completely disengage and not waste lives or money fighting them. If they continue to nip at us then Operation Almighty Pork Sword.

Get out and glass everything left behind.

They want to live in the stone age. The ones that don’t will figure out a way out.

Nobody in the last 300 years has made one lick of lasting progress at that no matter how hard they tried.
