4,000 More Troops for Afghanistan? There Could Be Good Reasons Why

Capt Dwayne Conyers - it is a mess are we still have troops in Japan we still have troops in Western Europe we still have troops in South Korea even it if it is a sheist sandwich

The US has no desire to concquer Afghainstan as the other examples tried to do. Our objective is to build a secure and self-sustaining government which will not enable our enemies.

Except, LTC (Join to see), there is no fighting/combat in Japan or Europe. Besides, where else can GI’s find good wives.

Capt Dwayne Conyers - so true I had a mortar platoon from 2-185 Armour out of San Diego while stationed at dugway Proving Ground during operation Noble Eagle 3 in 2003 and these guys were prior service Marines and about three or four of them had Filipino wives so you are correct.

I can confirm that too. Gen Dunford sat across from us and completely agreed with our assessments and recommendations. We had a path to success and the President decided to instead make good on an empty compain promise which he never fully fullfilled in the end (i.e. why did he bother in the first place?).

GySgt John Olson - Sorry I was being facetious, like I'm assuming you were as well.
