And YOU graduated from which military academy; sweetheart?

You wrote just WHICH books on ancient to modern military tactics?

And you are typing from which spot in Afghanistan/Pakistan/bunker in India?

Yes, everyone has an opinion; that doesn't make most of them worth a bucket of warm piss and your opinions, on this are even more worthless!

Yep. I have stock in RTN, UTX, GD, NOC, BA, OSK, OA, ITA, LMT, TXT, and COL. Own substantial in each of these. I’ll be fine with this protracted war. But be under no illusion, when it is over, if it is ever over, there will still be muzzie terrorists over there who want to destroy the USA.

Day by day it’s starting to be apparent we’ve been had.

Bannon gone.

No wall.

Obamacare still in place.

4,000 more troops sent to die in a hell hole we have zero interests in.

I’m thinking a CIA spook had the “JFK talk” with Trump.

You actually think the DNC Media gives a Rat’s Ass about the truth?

“Outside of the Media”? Just because WE pay attention doesn’t mean the Public at large does.

Today’s Media makes Goebbels look like a Boy Scout.

He could have only dreamed of the impact of today’s so called Entertainment and Social Media outlets, much less the DNC Media.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

Go back to DU; precious.

Grow up pinhead and use that third brain cell, this clearly contradicts Trumps stated campaign promise. And is nothing more than a continuation of a 16 year campaign that, at this point serves no purpose, than having our leaders look tough. This is a big win for the swamp.

We are sort of on the same page; you’re just wrong about Nam. It’s NOT that we got pulled into that one, by Jackie Kennedy ( who elected her?! ), but because we did NOT fight to win!

Best foreign policy speech I've ever seen. Direct, to the point and goal oriented. No more PC fighting with strict ROA. No more nation building. Taliban on notice.. . We will find you and destroy you. Told Afghanistan to step up their game. Told Pakistan to but out and if Taliban goes to Pakistan were coming after them. . or that's the way I heard it. . possibly cut the funding to Pakistan if they don't cooperate. . 'killing terrorists' the main strategy. . overall a home run and a shot in the arm for our military.

At the end of the speech I teared up and told my wife, "I just love this guy, we've waited so long to hear a speech like this and to have a President like this."

Thank God for intervening with President Trump.

Also, another takeaway is, "How could any American, any real American, how could any patriotic American not like what they heard tonight? . . He covered all the bases. . and didn't 'notify' the Taliban the number of troops, when the real Armageddon Blitzkrieg begins or other details. . Just a great serious speech with a great delivery.

Kill em' all, let God sort em' out!

Nobody predicted that there will still be cool-aid drinkers left after 2500 dead soldiers, after a trillion bucks with nothing to show for when the war drums were being beaten 16 years ago.....

“Dana and her doggie aint gonna cut it”

I think we all can agree that it’s a good thing that Dana isn’t procreating.

Europe is full of terrorists because they invited them in, not because of anything to do with Afghanistan.

It doesn’t matter when or how we leave. When we do, extremists will fill the vacuum.

Leave, before leaving spread flyers saying if they pick up their weapons and engage in Jihad we’ll just nuke em. When they do, nuke em.

NOT ONE MORE DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD TO PROTECT THEIR HEROIN INDUSTRY.

sooooo we loves thousands more lives and billions more to appease the media narrative? As if they won’t be all over this when one troop is killed now?

Did you forget DJT ran against this crap and WON? Why? Because people outside of here DO pay attention.

As another FReeper mentioned nobody wins in Afghanistan.
Alexander the Great couldn’t conquer it 2350 years ago, Genghis Khan gave up, the Brits gave up, the Russian’s gave up. It’s not worth the effort and the Afghanis don’t want anyone there. We should cut our losses, kill as many Taliban as is possible as a punitive act, and then just abandon it.

Then you should know that no matter what we do that Jihadists will pick up weapons and kill as soon as we leave.

But this way, we can postpone it a couple years more, maybe a decade, it will cost a couple hundred to couple thousands young American men, Trillions of dollars, and the Poppy fields will grow and grow and grow.

Oh my God, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Maybe it's time to slash your wrists!!
