U.S. and Afghan troops have abandoned a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan where militants killed nine American soldiers this week, officials said Wednesday.
Compounding the military setback, insurgents quickly seized the village of Wanat in Nuristan province after driving out the handful of police left behind to defend government offices, Afghan officials said.


This improves our position in Afghanistan how???

Anybody that was in Vietnam recognizes this FUBAR. Take a position and then walk away from it. Just so more American lives can be lost to retake it. What kind of sh*t for brains military command do we have there????

Afghanistan is a classic case of Dumb and Dumber. In the 21st century the Dumb US solution is to either throw money at it, or throw bombs at it. Sometimes Dumber gets his way and throws both.
