Attack Widely Condemned by Afghans as U.S. Investigates

Another senior military official said the sergeant was 38 and married with two children. He had served three tours of duty in Iraq, this official said, and had been deployed to Afghanistan for the first time in December. Yet another military official said he has served in the Army for 11 years.

Why are we still there?

That's a bloody good question. Afghanistan cannot be 'fixed' in my opinion. That place is FUBAR.

Time to pack up and leave.

Certainly a fair question and one that sadly I can see no logical explanation for now that Bin Laden is dead. Unless the CIA or some black ops organization is profiting from the poppy fields, which is entirely possible.

Sometimes I really like Randy Newman

Some (Ron Paul) would argue our economy is already in ruins. Check this link out and then tell me if you think we're not at the edge of the abyss,

I just (very) recently read, that the poor SGT. had recently suffered a HEAD Injury.

H F C !

H-how

C-convenient

Head trauma is not something to be trivialized. I read/saw something on the issue and the piece indicated that the amount of head trauma is severely underestimated by the military. Soldiers are not treated properly for the injuries and the issue is essentially ignored. Just another example of this country ignoring reality and then being surprised about the results.

Escept we are not the Soviet Union. Their economy was already on the ropes when they went into Afghanistan due to an ecomonic model that did not work. Add to that it was a country comprised of dozens of different ethnic groups whose on thing in common was that they all hated eachother. The only thing that held it all together was a strong central goverenment that used force liberly to keep people in line. Once it's grip was loosened it all fell apart. Have'nt we talked about this before?
