GrowTh187- Yeah hes a great leader. He is my company.

[Patrick5009]

Jackie i think your comments are incredibly short sighted. Iraq was the ridiculous lie, Afghanistan is different. America had a legitimate reason to go there although they got side lined with Iraq and didn't finish the job. But Bush, cheeny and rumsfeld can take the blame for making such a mess of it and turning a terrible terrorist attack into a war. Since the troops are still there they are obligated , to try to defeat the horrors of the taliban. And it can be done.

God Bless frontline....I served in Vietnam in a "Special Operations squadron" NO markings on our aircraft...NO uniform insignia....we flew the Special Forces LRRP teams; no one in America has a CLUE the brutality our Government is capable of...

[coltontd]

[GrOwTh187]

i know that e-6. the one they kept showing over again. he gave me a ride back to fob seattle at ntc when i dislocated my shoulder throwing sandbags up to a guard tower. i know that guy is a good leader because he was really getting on his soldier's asses when i was rollin with um. i pray for all their safety.

Your right Jackie Karzai is useless, I just get so upset about it, I've lost friends in the Korengal, they werent "twitchy" as you describe it they were guys, normal guys who never raped arab girls, or killed innocents. The taliban rule that region with an iron fist, and the locals dont have much of a choice. Cooperate with the US and you die, do what the taliban wants and you live under their thumb. And dude, I've served my time in Fallujah in 03-04 with the 10th Mtn, and we did some good.

[natemac79]

Hey Jackie, were there to safeguard the helpless, and destroy a group that would have your head cut off on al jazeera, then parade it through the streets. How you could defend a group like the Taliban? Do you have any idea what they've done to the people of that country? America is trying to do the right thing, its a dark place my friend. I suggest you join up, or join a relief organization, go see what these places are really like, go see the good were trying to do for yourself.

[jackiebaron]

Don't be such a sap, natemac. The US is already negotiating with the "hated" Taliban because they can't defeat them militarily. Karzai has no influence in any tribal areas. In fact he's so impotent that they call him the mayor of Kabul. The Taliban are actually being welcomed in the tribal regions because they protect the locals from twitchy American kids who just shoot up everything because they're scared shitless. As for the good "you're" doing..don't make me laugh.

[DevJoch]

Have you been to Afghanistan?

[cutegual]

That is stupid they go to ppl's country and do that and later they cry about Terror and stuff:)what the hell!

[cutegual]

i feel sorry for those young man Very sad! I wish them to be safe and come back to their mom's oh my heart is breaking:)

[RoyalDog214]

You sounds like one of those annoying little high school girl who knew nothing about politic or why were in Afghanistan and Iraq and wanted to put your freaking bias comment into it.

"This is stupid, they go to ppl's country and do that"

Do what? You don't even a freaking clue as to what you're even talking about. I don't even know why I even bother arguing with people who are stupid like you.

[jackiebaron]

Hey RoyalDog,

Have YOU any clue why American forces are in Afghanistan? You haven't the slightest clue have you? And don't give me some naive schoolgirl crap like it's "to fight terrorists" or to "help afghans" or to "avenge 9/11" or "spread freedom" you clueless cretin. Go on, explain the EXACT reason why America has an army of occupation parked on Afghan soil. This should be hilarious.

[ussuix]

Jackiebaron; Well said. I agree with you one-hundred percent.

[TheTallestTree]

FRONTLINE one of the best shows ever!

[Croakph]
