Daddy came home, huh Ex?

Bahahaha

Lets us pray that our children come home .......

>insert prayer to God of choice here<

Is the Pope and his Papal Nuncio going to take a trip to the Zoo while he's home? Why not visit Anacostia in the moonlight, maybe we can use some of that Pop-Centric COIN money on our own people. Bring some of that fancy ass COIN home!!!

Au contraire. Give some of that fancy ass COIN money back to the people who actually earned it.

"Let us Pray"
"Snap!"
"Amen"
"Snap!"

Now that's the Marine way.

Afghanis, Pashtuns, Pakis are like Blacks in the U.S. They are never going to be thankful, never going to rise, will always be ungrateful, will never cease to complain and will never be thankful. So, the important question, that seem never to be posed to the Pope and his various Nuncios, is What's the use? Why are we doing this? It's a waste of money. If we give all that fancy ass Pop centric COIN money to our Blacks here, atleast we can contain them so they don't watch the movies at Friendly Heights or at Tysons Corner--there's a visible return on investment.

@Abu Muqawama:

Here you go . . .

for your reading pleasure, I’ve recently posted more at http://www.feralfirefighter.blogspot.com/

First, there’s an updated version of my “Where Men Win Glory” -- Andrew Exum, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), and the Whitewash of General McChrystal’s Role in the Cover-Up of Pat Tillman’s Fratricide.”

Second, I’ve posted three of my 2008 Pat Tillman documents:

“Remember the Iconoclast, Not the Icon” – Pat Tillman 1976 – 2004 (with links to some of the best introductory articles to the Tillman story)

“Battle for the Truth” – Iddo Netanyahu, Kevin Tillman, and the Cover-Up of Their Brother’s Death (Discusses parallels between Yoni Netanyahu [brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who died at 1976 Raid on Entebbe] and Pat Tillman)

“A Sense of Honor” – Senator James Webb and Pat Tillman (“matchmaking” letters trying to get Senator Webb to help out Mary Tillman and her family).

Enjoy,
Guy Montag, M.F.L.F.

Grrr..grit teeth...(but at least not on Astan Grit)....

OK. Have your 18 mos to reverse the talib momentum...then re-evaluate and retrench/recock...

That's still 1-1.5 fighting seasons, right?

Is Afghanistan capable of paying for and equiping a 300,000 man army?

Reference point on Afghan military pay scales:

Money leaving Afaghanistan.....that's $ 3.5 BILLION/yr.
