WTF! WTF! Bring the troops home as soon as we destroy Afghanistan!. Totally go after the entire population. Go in like a scourge and destroy everything.

Carpet bomb, use anti-personnel bombs, napalm, fragment bombs, .......

Go after the mosques, the minarets, the fiber of their society, ....

Shove them into one location and setoff the mother of all bombs.

We will Win! Afghanistan will no longer be in exsistance.

TOMORROW OBAMA WILL COMMIT 30,000+ TROOPS. Good grief... vote third party ppl

Isn't the $775,000 per annum cost of overseas troops just a corporate welfare-subsidy of the War Industry? How coul;d Americans allow themselves to be conned & duped, so totally lose all semblance of humanitarian, compassionate & intelligent foreign policy, with accountable & representative government? What the FUK is America doing in Afghanistan but promoting violence & destruction? Karma's gonna be a bitch when it catches up.

Bring our boys home.

Of the cited cost per servicemember per year, on average, the person's pay is less than ten percent. Much, much less if junior enlisted, only a smidgen more if a field-grade officer.

And, the commander in chief needs to remind citizens what, exactly, their mission is, and what constitutes completion of that mission. Otherwise, you have a quagmire.
