(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys, I was watching the news eirlier, and I just thought "Lets ask people what they think?" Well, personaly, I think we are doing a great job in afghanistan, as we have managed to fight off some of the taliban, allthough, the world has faced some major shocks from them... 9/11, the London bombings, and more... So post your thoughts please...

Also, would you agree with this song?

What about all the innocent people that are suffering there, are we helping them? Or are we just making the situation more dire?

Yes we have done some good things, but its likely that we have done far worse things also. I would hope that one day we could pull out, but we are to deep in this shit storm now and are stuck probably for a decade more.

Hopefully it doesn't go nuclear. That truly would mean a big backwards step for the world.

Thank you for your opinion, i agree strongly :/

why keep so many troops when more than half arent necessary there?

If the forces leave then the Taliban would just go into the major cities and **** it all up again. They don't want school, hospitals, doctors and so on making Afghanistan a really really ****ed up place to be. Also, out troops are keeping the majority of the terrorists away from UK and USA. If they wasn't their, then we would be bombed a lot more than we are now. Plus, if we pulled out now, all the soldiers who died would have died for no reason at all. We haven't won, and haven't no where near won, meaning that the deaths would be for nothing. What's the point in having thousands of troops killed for **** all? Yes, more will die on the way, it's inevitable, but when we win, their deaths and sacrifices won't be for nothing.

I agree.

I think it should be a violent, brutal war. Screw the Geneva convention; do you really think the terrorists follow the Geneva convention? No. If they don't, then why should we? The rules of engagement against the enemy are outrageous- If the enemy shoots at our troops from a civilian residence or a mosque, then we can't fire back, even though they are shooting at us, which is complete BS. The quickest way to end a war is to make it harsh and violent. General William T. Sherman said make war hell on the enemy's people, and they will get sick of it. They will revolt and will force their government to stop.

*Getting off my soap box*

Yeah, the ROE are indeed a bunch of bullshit. Did you know that if the Taliban stop firing at our troops and put their weapons down and walk of, our troops can't shoot back? That is the biggest bullshit ever. If they don't want to fight, they don't have to. It's that simple. Our troops have to fight. They can't lay down their weapons and walk away without another enemy shot being fired. The mosque I can see. I wouldn't want to bomb a religious building, even if I don't believe in it. But when they are using it as a firing point, the tables should be turned and they should at least try to storm it and take them out with minimal damage. Of course, it depends on if they can get to the mosque without being killed. In my opinion, and probably many others, the rules need to be revised big time for this war to finish quickly. I bet our troops could wipe them out in no time if they could fire at enemies who just dropped their weapons. if they could do this and that, things that they can't do now. How can they be expected to win a war playing all nice?

Exactly, great post!

If we let the attack by the taliban in Afghanistan go without retaliation more attacks would come. We need to be kicking ass like we are now out there. I'm willing to bet a war with Pakistan will come soon, if the taliban move there.


This is why I am for our presence in Iraq:

NOT FOR WEAK HEARTE
