| Well if you admit you don't know, that's cool.... at least you admit it.
I'll admit, I opposed our joining NATO in Afghanistan from the start. But as the battles ensued, these same media personel who have been "responsible for the failures in Vietnam" are showing what the soldiers think themselves, they are showing the positives as well as the negatives. Our troops tend to have more freedom on their opinions then US soldiers, and they get to express their views on why they are there, and what they seen.
I believe my troops over my generals.... and although the original principle excuses to invade I felt were wrong, and I opposed them, we're there now, but a new development has occured..... which is the people of Afghanistan are not treating us all like the people of Iraq..... and I think we should take advantage of this before they decide to think like Iraqis.
All I'm saying is that we're at a critical point in Afghanistan, not just by their support but by our country's support as well..... and if we blow it now with the reckless disregard mentioned above, then it will turn just like Iraq, and we'll all be screwed..... and if it goes like Iraq..... it'd all be for nothing.
Our troops and other NATO troops do see exactly what's going on in Iraq, and none of them want that where they are now.... it's at a borderline controllable state right now.... but all that is needed to unbalance it, is for the Afghan people to turn their opinions of us to something more worse..... |
