For weeks Washington has been debating whether to send more troops to Afghanistan. However, veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are calling on lawmakers to rethink policy and their approach to the wars.
republican democrat whats the difference? IMO theyre both fail, as theyre one.
The only way to find the true answer to this "RETHINKING OF AFGHANISTAN' is to require all congressmen and congresswomen to enlist in the Army and serve alongside our young brave men and women in combat. If they do not have the guts to serve, then they should rethink the idea of sending someone's young son or daughter into this war. Didn't the Congress serve in combat roles during World War II? What makes them so special that they cannot serve alongside our injured and dead in combat? It is a matter of principle. Do we still have principles? Most of Americans are asking this question.
