My son is in Panjwaii, all of his leadership had done several tours in Iraq before this one to Afghanista....ALL have said Afghanistan is by far the worst place they have ever been....it in unfathomable. And I will tell you from experience, Panjwaii truly is HELL, it is the Birthplace of the Taliban. We don’t hear anything about it because there is not a reporter who will even venture in there. Michael Yon would not even stay there. As of this AM our time all was quiet.
I will pray for your son and all our troops over there. I’m afraid that I am a coward when it comes to war, so I can easily understand how a young man could lose control and go over the edge. The new rules of engagement must add tremendously to the strain. I think that what troubles me the most is that I know Obama has no love for this country and no respect for our troops.
