I just hope that young people are smart enough to realize that joining the military isn?t the only way they would get a free education, and that there are other ways?.finis..

We will keep fighting these wars for the big corporations until we realize who runs the country: big money and big corporations.

We the People are letting them kill our young using our taxpayer money. They love war and death and killing. It is up to US to stop them. ANd the first thing we need to do is admit the problem.

The afghan war has everything to do with egotism and machismo it has nothing whatsoever to do with concern for the afghans and our troops?Who cares what the republicans think, if President Obama was truly concerned he would take all of our troops out of Afghanistan NOW! PRONTO!!!! BYE..

Tell me if I'm wrong,but I think these Taliban people are just like the RED-NECKS here in America.The point is,there will always be RED-NECKS
in America.In fact,in some circles,being RED-NECK is an HONOR.
Afghanistan has old traditions handed down from generations,the
upholders of these customs will always seek new students.
Why not provide an alternative to being TALIBAN.
Try some DIALOGUE,COMMUNICATIONS...It's time to show COURAGE.

Of course not knowing all the facts but from a simple observation it seems things became negative in Afghanistan shortly after the politicians got involved with rules of engagement etc....

Afghanistan and Waziristan, is where our troops should have been to begin with. But NATO should be the harrassing insurgent, not the occupier trying to prop up a corrupt Karzai regime -- saw a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

When Israel attacks Iran this Fall, US troops from Kabul to Baghdad will get lit up......

Sorry, but you need to check your calendar. The autumn season is over.

The likelihood of American success in Afghanistan is at best dim and, at worst, heading inevitably toward a lose-lose situation. Given the impossibility of surgically identifying and killing a moving and elusive target, there are only two possible outcomes: killing a lot of civilians, or pushing the insurgency to the rest of the country, or both. After the Iraq debacle, are Americans ready for yet another unpopular occupation, protracted war and thousands of U.S. casualties??
