Had dinner with my son tonight who just got back from Afghanistan recently. He told me 1 in 4 of our casualties over there now are caused by Afghans we've trained, serving in either their Army or their Police force.
I see in the news we've decided to stop training them. Like I've quoted an 'Aliens' movie line before, 'we need to dust off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.'
Well... waiting patiently for you opinion... about the situation... Actually your sons opinion would probably be pretty relevant, what does he think we should do in afghan?
Mother of SEAL Criticizes Obama Ad By Patrick Hobin The mother of a fallen Navy SEAL said President Barack Obama has a lot of âaudacityâ to approve an ad which elevates his decision to kill Osama bin Laden over the SEALs who actually carried out the mission, the Paulding County Republican Examiner reported. In the ad created by the Obama campaign, called âOne Chance,â Obama was praised by former President Bill Clinton for his decision to go ahead with the bin Laden raid. The ad paints Obama as a tough decision maker but fails to acknowledge the SEALs who put their lives on the line during the raid. At one point in the video Clinton asks, what about the downside if a Navy SEAL had been captured or caught? Karen Vaughn, the mother of fallen SEAL Aaron Carson Vaughn, blasted the ad. âYou know, when you lose a child, there is nothing like it in the world,â she said. âAnd one thing you realize immediately is your life will never be the same. And, and you take 30 years of your life and you just say . . . you just pretend it didnât exist. Thatâs what itâs like in dealing with a loss of a child.â âAnd that man [Obama] has the audacity to put his signature and stamp of approval on an ad where Bill Clinton says âJust imagine what the downside would have been for Obama if the Seals would have been captured or killed,â Vaughn told the Examiner. âHow out of touch can a human being be?â Vaughnâs son died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan along with 16 other SEALs. The form letter sent to her from the White House was signed by electronic pen and not by Obama personally, according to the Examiner.

My son says their army is too big. Once we leave they won't be able to maintain it. He thinks the soldiers let go will likely become insurgents.
