are we on the offensive at all in Afghanistan? From what I read we are just holding defensive positions. If that be the case we will be taking casualties. Without taking the fight to the enemy we are telegraphing a weakness which they will use to their advantage and build strength.

So are Michael Moore and Barbra Streisand putting Christmas ornaments with the names of the deceased on their websites this year?

The purpose of our military is to go F up a country and it's residents so quickly and violently that the stop screwing with us and think twice about ever doing it again.
There is no defined mission there. Plus there needs to be no "rules of engagement" .
