Who are we kidding? Afghanistan is another Vietnam. The government micromanaged Vietnam - we lost. This administration is micromanaging Afghanistan. And, we are gonna lose in Afghanistan. Let me say, my opinion has nothing to do with the general being fired - I think the President made the right decision. My problem is the way this administration is micromanaging the rules of engagement. The same thing happened in Vietnam. And, we lost in Vietnam.
Another thing to think about: drugs. Vietnam was a huge source of drugs. Afganistan is a huge source of drugs. Drugs are a serious problem; not just in Afghanistan, but on our own borders. I don't think we can win in Afghanistan. Having troops in a situation where they are nothing but targets is ridiculous. Let's bring the troops home and put them on the US Mexican border.
