The fact that the Northern Alliance is doing all of the ground fighting is total proof that our leaders are afraid to use our own soldiers and instead are using these forces in order to avoid political fallout.

And you know that it's true because you yourself said that we have been inordinately carefull not to allow stories abotu civilian casualties to surface. Not because we value those lives but because we loathe the political ramifications.

Moral relativism has no place in war. Either we are justified in our actions and are willing to sacrifice our lives for this cause, or we are not.

As I said before, this is not a reflection on our servicement and women. They are inordinately brave for serving under cowards.

"Moral relativism has no place in war. Either we are justified in our actions and are willing to sacrifice our lives for this cause, or we are not."

That is the most pathetic bunch of psuedo-intellectual gobblygook I've seen come from you. Get this you pitiful ideolog:

This fight is about self-defense - the right to exist and maintain our way of life. Remember 9/11? Huh? Do you? Well, that day gave us the right to go after those SOB's in any way we like. Now you may not believe in self-defense unless it's a fair fight, but those of us who have traveled the world staring the bad guys in the face, know you do what it takes to win...or they WILL kill us.

Straight up: Would you rather have our fathers, sons, and brothers dying on the ground then working with the NA who have been itching to take back their country for a long time?

Where did I say that?

There are no stories about civilian casualties because there are few civilian casualties!

The NA is doing the fighting because it's their country. If they had stood aside, you can be sure the U.S. would have put 100,000 troops on the ground.
