We can't fight this and win with CNN filming every event, too much collateral damage necessary, the ********** know our limitations, and use it against our kids. F this let's get it done. I am a patriot thru and thru, but this is Viet Nam without a jungle. I don't see how we can tell if we're winning this...so let's just GTF out. Let them solve it without any more of our blood spilled.

Hell Stretch, my whole point was about media inteference--I had never realized that imbedded media put our troops at a disadvantage, but according to this fine young man it did. He was there, he lived it, and he shared his thoughts with me.
I agree--we ain't winning this one either, there is no military solution, and a political solution is nowhere to be found either. Let's get our people out.
