I see no need to send more troops to Afghanistan What about all the troops that were suppose to be bought home when Obama took office as president He bought a few home .now sending thousands over seas why Every one blamed Bush now who are they putting the blame on All of our young men are being killed for no reason Their family needs them at home Our nation needs to turn back to God then he will heal our land Money is not the answer prayer is Pray for our leaders to make the right decisions .We don't need to have to pay any more taxes than we are already paying Our insurance is high enough A lot of retirees have to make a choice in food or medicine After working and paying taxes all thur the years

If the Afghan war is "winnable", as Gen McChrystal is quoted as saying, then why haven't they won it already during these 8 years? Might it be that the USA military is inefficient that much? If so, then do engage some Home Security for they are known being highly trained, extremely motivated and, above all, enormously skilled squads. If they fail too, then call for some NAHA units (North American Housewife Association). Fire brigades could also be used to engage Talibans, as their patriotic feelings are legendary for a long time. Spreading out democracy all over the globe is surely a hard and marvelous undertaking and I hope USA will not give up.

The USA-NATO strategy is totally wrong and won't work in Afganistan even if USA and NATO will duplicate or triplicate the amount of US, NATO, NATO led ISAF forces there. The key issue is that US and NATO forces are conventional forces built against conventional Soviet Army which doesn't exist any more. What they need is a strategy for modern war and querilla war, but they have no propriate troops, arms, skills, strategy or tactics for that kind of war. And so they are in Afganistan with their far too slow, far too expensive army trying to catch quick moving querillas. The war will end as Iraqi war, the politicians in USA and in many NATO countries will not give more money for the uneffective army out in Afganistan, NATO will split even more to those who keep on fighting and those who will not fight and those who will withdraw their troops.
