I was wondering why we aren't WINNING THE WAR. Now a person knows.

But the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING NOTHING to protect our borders. They are ENFORCING NOTHING.

Vote them out & some other fool steps in to take their place with a bunch of false promises. I am to the point I would VOTE for someone if they promised NOTHING. Lets face it the world has really gotten bigger & our britches are being taken up many notches.

Fighting an insurgency is not a "Hey, we sank your carriers, we win!" World War 2 situation.

It can take years.

Afghanistan is a mess, always has been, but can be stabilized. Prior to the Soviet Union's invasion it was doing fairly well.

Unless people are really willing to tackle the ISI (Pakistani intel group, more rogue than the CIA ever THOUGHT of being) and take on a nuclear armed state, Afghanistan will drag on for years.

I hope eventually we can whip the Terrorists Butts & find some kind of peaceful existence with the Muslim world. But who knows who's terms it will be on?

Hasn't happened in 1300 years, I doubt that's going to change anytime soon.

You never know maybe Allah will end it all for everyone.

LH, just the other day we were speaking here at work about the lack of respect shown to our highest ranking person- the President. I liked your editing to show that respect.

Thanks, Cataholic. Like 'em, dislike 'em, they still sit in the highest office in the land, and deserve, if nothing else, the respect that the office deserves.

As a Sergeant Major told me years ago referring to an officer who I had just had an issue with, "You don't have to respect the person wearing the rank, but you have to respect the rank"

I'm wondering how much calmer our discourse would be if that were done across the board? There would be a bunch of pundits in the unemployment line, though, as that seems to be their whole schtick.
