    I'm not a military expert but I can't help but think if we allowed the military to truly "fight" the US-Afghanistan war, it would be over... instead of going into Year 18. http://fullmeasure.news/news/cover-story/war-waste … (#ButSomebodysMakingMoneyToo)https://twitter.com/Linc6080Common/status/952591850887507968 …

        A few issues. Are you willing to wipe out a substantial portion of the male population? Are you willing to confront Pakistan on their continuing involvement?

        It's partly the old question: are u ethically ok w/killing n short term-- incl. some innocents-- to save lives of many more innocents the long term? Who wants to make that decision? What politician could survive today choosing option A, even if it saves lives in the long run?

        We know what the Romans would have done but it's difficult to imagine the circumstances that would allow that today.

        Pretty sure we would have lost WW2 if our soldiers could only shoot at the Nazis if they shot first, and had to read them their Miranda rights if they captured them...Obama Admin. rules.

        I think most of the blame goes to Karzai for corruption and the extreme limited Rules of Engagement he and Obama imposed, and of course Pakistan

        The Russians gave it everything they had their objective was different there is a great Michener book called Caravans written in the 1940s that would give you some perspective

        You are correct ma’am. US Military is built to obtain objectives and they never fail. The politicians stop them from achieving.
