US out of Afghanistan!

Freepers were okay with the counterinsurgency Rules of Engagement when Bush was in office. Now, of course, they are fightin' mad that Obama is killing our soldiers.

Vaquero thinks this is just like Vietnam, or Mexico:

time to get out....the vietnamization has been going on for at least 2 years...(just like at our southern border where our agents are shooting bean bag loads....)

we have no Osama to show for any of this...time to either put our efforts to actually getting Bin Laden...or get the frig out....and do it NOW!!!!

Dude, we totally almost won Vietnam, ya hippie!

haroldeveryman thinks this is a conspiracy to kill our soldiers, and McCrystal knows but isn't saying anything:

The Administration has no intention of winning this. General McCrystal’s “Rolling Stone” interview was no blunder, IMHO. Having realized that the slime in Washington had our soldiers in another no-win situation, the General took an opportunity to force Obama to either to get real, or to make him fire him.

It was the 9-11 attacks that got us into this venture. But after a few years that attack didn’t seem to have any more significance than a trivia game question. To add to the silliness, the idea of a Ground Zero Mosque became all the rage. Now, our legal establishment wants our Constitution to be subservient to “international law”, and even would like to adopt elements of Sharia law.

The rest of us should realize that the real fight now is right here at home.

Let’s get our soldiers home. At the very least they’ll be good for the gene pool.

TheBattman is pissed there hasn't been a military coup yet:

Nutty policy straight from the White House... and the flat-out intent is to force the US to be defeated.

And folks wonder why our soldiers get upset and act badly sometimes...

But when is our military going to uphold their oath - to protect the US from enemies both foreign and domestic? Our nation is besieged by an ineligible (constitutionally speaking) anti-American like we have not faced since the Cold War in our old adversaries the Soviets. Obama and his entire party want nothing less than to weaken the US until we are totally dependent on the rest of the world - and then subject to a single world government. That is the agenda - there is more evidence to prove it than there is that Obama is a natural born citizen of the US.

doc1019 has an odd idea of what the solders Rules of engagement are:

Kill a GI, get a free meal, new cloths and off you go to do it again, what a deal. PURE IDIOCY!!!

panthermom has raised a dramatic son:

My son will turn 21 in Afghanistan. I told him that when he got his midtour leave I will throw him a huge Keg party.

After he was briefed on th ROE, he told me forget about the keg party, plan a funeral. Nice, ha?
