U.S. President Barack Obama plans to announce his new strategy for Afghanistan on Tuesday, and U.S. news organizations say he will most likely send between 30,000 and 35,000 additional troops. The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, earlier this year told the president that up to 40,000 additional troops are needed to combat Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the region. If General McChrystal does not get all of the troops that he seeks, U.S. commanders are already trying to make do with fewer numbers. Correspondent David Axe, embedded with U.S. troops in Afghanistan's Logar province, has more.

US troops have become the bad hats sent by a terrorist US government.. there's no difference between US troops and the Gestapo and Nazis trying to rape, pillage and murder.. get the hell out of their homes and country.

Troops I supported you.. But as time flew on. We have no real threat. The threat comes from you continuing to fight. Our government's mistreatment to countries of the middle east. I dont know if this is a ego thing. You dont want to lose another war like we did Vietnam? Whatever it may be.. You gotta excercise your right as a US Soldier. & You gotta reconize that this war you're risking your one and only lives for isnt worth it.
I hope someone passes this message on so they can read it.

Please, Mr. Preident - send the troops the general needs in Afghanistan. Its pointless to be in a war without the will to win it. Don't you wANT us to win, President Obama? I made 2 dozen videos supporting you during your campaign, now I am supporting our troops since you don't seem to want to.
