Heh, we _want_ these idiots in Afghanistan. The Taliban will have to feed and arm them. Since they have no real training, all they will do is get in the way, cause logistical headaches for the Taliban, turn the people they have to rob for food and shelter against the Taliban, etc. If they ever do get to the front lines, they are cluster bomb fodder. Killing them will make things easier for the Pak government. The stupid, foolish, and brave are always the first to die in a war, and these Pushtun morons are all three.

if that were the case, the taliban would not be rounding up young men, who have no training or weapons and who have to be fed, from their homes, which they are doing. they're happy to have cannon fodder. and i think it's pretty unlikely that this crowd will all be taken to shake hands with osama or zoom-zoom. no, icing their sorry butts one foot inside the border would send a far more meaningful message to the taliban.

Obviously a lot of us have come to the same conclusion. One additional factor is that the residue of these idiots who survive the bombing will be able take back stories to Pakistan of just how frightful U.S. military power is.
