More American troops were killed last weekend by their Afghan "allies," bringing the body count to over 2,000 in the failed occupation.
What's the point of lingering for two more years and suffering hundreds or thousands more casualties when we've already told the Taliban we're surrendering in 2014?
How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?
It's time to go home.
I have a cousin in Iowa whose son was raised on a pig farm, and couldn't wait to join the Army and get out of there. He did, and loved it...he loved the training, and going to fight in war. A real thrill seeker, and dare devil. The more dangerous the mission, the better. He went to Afghanistan 4 times, and became a big shot general who instructs other soldiers how to kill. This last year, he was sent a FIFTH time, and he finally woke up. He'e been sending Emails to my aunt, and telling her he doesn't understand why we are there, and he thinks it's wrong. My worry is he'll end up like Pat Tillman, now that he's thinking for himself. Oh, and BTW, more soldiers are dying by their own hand, via suicide, than in Afghanistan.
