    Obama barred American commanders from carrying out offensive airstrikes against the Taliban. Now the gloves are off.http://nyti.ms/2z1Xu51

        The Russians killed around two million Afghanis. We are still substantially below a million. Time to bring out the big guns. Drones just aren't doing it. Can't let the Russians outdo us.

        The only plan that would work is to pave the country and kill everybody. The Russians killed two million. We've killed maybe 3/4 of a million. We killed over a million in Vietnam a million or so in Cambodia. They NEVER gave up. We keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

        Im pretty sure seeing unidentified men carrying RPG's and assault rifles in a war zone is enough to know that they're the enemies

        Wow very intuitive thank u. In case ur unaware our commanders are in a active war zone! Hard for them to keep American Soldiers safe with restricted resources. In case u didn't know the other side isn't restricting there's on interested in talking it out. Iraq&Afghan vet!

        That's why the other side cannot win. Their Strategies are poor, their methods are crude, & they act impulsively. You cannot win people's hearts & minds by adopting the same crude methods.

        Crude methods didn't mean their tactical & fighting ability. They willingly commit suicide to advance their cause. It meant their total disregard for civilian casualties.
