"Go fuck yourself" is not helpful input (so to speak). We need to listen to these soldiers on the ground and get their stories to the ears of the powers that be. Killing more civilians, leaving more children orphaned and mothers powerless, is not the way to win hearts and minds. More communication is essential.

Some good points in this video, yes there is a lot of incompetence in the fight against the Taliban. But it's illogical to conclude that the Taliban should not be fought. The correct conclusion is better intelligence, more sensitive handling of ordinary Afghans. Sadly though, the Taliban use the ordinary population as human shields. The key point is this: there will never be justice or economic prosperity until the Taliban is eliminated.

@Roethlisberger1 we need to get rid of the taliban? who created the taliban? have u even read a book about them? the CIA TRAINED THEM! wat are u saying? afghans never wanted the taliban in the first place. it started out by the CIA training pakistani orphans go look it up.

For many of us Soldiers, Marines, etc, who support "rethinking" this whole thing, it is not just about yelling out that we oppose everything about this "conflict" and then trying to pull ALL personnel and resources out and just go home. There are some fundamental military processes that were not, and still are not, being implemented because of the back and forth political grandstanding that has absolutely nothing to do with military operations...and I'm talking about both sides of the isle.

[Roethlisberger1]

You cant just pull out of somewhere by just a few bad storys and bad missions. When we went over there we said that we would get rid of the Taliban and other militants and thats what we must do at all costs. War is horrible but Peace after was is Wonderful. It always get worse before it gets better. so we have to finnish our job and help the Afghans to a better life and not leave them to the mercy to the Horrible people that will take our place if we just pull out now. Blessed Be. )0(

0p0d, age does take its toll and I wish we could stop the killing. Members of the Guard are taking much more of the tasking than they were created to cover, it's ashame.

Happy Holiday to you and yours.

0p0d, fair enough, I hear what you're stating and we just disagree on the method to get out. Those countries manage to take care of their internal struggles without the interference of outsiders; us, Great Britain and the Soviets.

I look at our collection of 100 Senators and they cant figure out what is best for Americans, why would I believe they know what is best for any other country. Other countries have figured out the health care issue, not perfect but a work in progress. Merry Xmas!
