We are trying to force something foreign on them as we did in Vietnam and we know how that turned out!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-20863261314398774412010-07-24T11:52:43.808-07:002010-07-24T11:52:43.808-07:001000 Tim if we are stupid enough to stay there til...1000 Tim if we are stupid enough to stay there till we join their graveyard of Nations. My youngest has been there about a week and he is still hopping convoys trying to get to his FOB.<br /><br /> Jim has 9 years till he retires and plans on going to Afghanistan as civilian EOD to make $100,000 to pay cash for his house. If we do not get out it will keep our war economy going for many generations.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-51116090212446747642010-07-24T10:47:51.858-07:002010-07-24T10:47:51.858-07:00If memory serves correct the only group to conquer...If memory serves correct the only group to conquer that area was Genghis Khan and they did it by brute force.<br />The people there are uneducated and just don't seem to care. We've tried for 8 years to train an army and police force. The other thing to remember is that they have their roots as nomads so property rights is not big in their priorities.<br /><br />This whole thing reminds me of a bad western only in this show we can't exactly tell who are the bad guys. Our generals say that this is not like Vietnam but from talking to people who were there it sure sounds the same.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-59101857527944994812010-07-24T09:45:01.676-07:002010-07-24T09:45:01.676-07:00Jim

Command ...Jim<br /><br />We sure are doing a swell job there.<br />Command hasn't a freaken clue about the people we're fighting. How many more years Jim do you think we'll be there.
