Forums - General - Deadliest month for US in Afghanistan since the war started (2001)

^ Then why is it still the most dangerous? If the soldiers stopped playing Cricket and drinking tea and would actually patrol, it might be less dangerous!



Tease.

The Americans got their asses handed to them so they pulled out and said that it was stable and wanted the British to continue the "good" work.

I don't understand this vendetta you have?

 

Ask me that question in 4 years.

My guess, is in 4 years, you will wonder why you asked me that question. You will wonder why you didn't see it earlier.



And by the way, far more people are coming around to my point of view. In the last 7 months, Obama's approval index has moved from +30, to -7.

a shift of 37 points in 7 months is I think the biggest drop ever (not sure though).

The reason this month is the deadliest month for the United States in Afghanistan is because the United States has recently started a campaign that is (basically) like the surge and will hopefully have similar results ...

The disapointing thing is that so many politicians and members of the media who opposed the surge, and claimed it was going to fail, now fully support the strategy without ever admitting that it was successful or that they were wrong. I can accept someone's position evolving as they realize their previous understanding was incomplete, but they should at least be mature enough to admit that their previous position was wrong.
