belive me, what you see on CNN is not the truth, it is what sells.
I agree that we should just get the f*ck out..................after we kill every man woman and child. You can't fight a war by rules, you either go in to win and kill everything that opposes you or you don't go in at all. This halfassed "war" on terrorism has got to stop. There will always be terrorists we jsut need to show the world that "if you even think about f'ing with us we'll kill you and your family and all your friends" not "if you f' with us and kill 10,000 people we'll declair war on you and occupie your nation from then on."
but that would never work, and it is not the dark ages.
We do not need more troops, we need more of the RIGHT KIND of troops. And we don't have enough, and never will.
Counter-insurgency and Foriegn internal defense are Special Forces missions (read "The Green Berets",as opposed to Special Operation Forces like Rangers,SEALs, etc). SF is the only guys, as well as CAG or 1st SFOD-D aka "Delta" that is equipped to deal with this mission, not conventional troops. It'sno wonder we are failing.
Regular infantry, cav, and engineer units are over there doing SF missions. Of course they are gonna fail, they are not properly trained. And there aren't even enough of THEM to go around.
Sincerly,
A two tour combat Vet
