We don't need to bring these guys home yet. The job is not done. The mission is not complete. They need to keep pushing and making us proud. Once the mission is complete bring these men home but not until the mission is complete.

RIP MARINE AND SOLDIER.

This mission is to bring security to that country. To eliminate all of the bad. We are close but we are not there yet. This has been one of the deadliest months in Afghan. What does that mean? Well it means we are not done their and there is still work to be done. Just because Bin Laden is dead does not mean the mission is complete.

95% is probably high. We have to try we can't just pull out. It's not going to happen.

Oh ok, so we will spend more trillions of dollars just to bring security to a country that's 10,000 miles away. Great deal.

Yes. Indian Valley HS is a rural school where some students have a NP address. This school is a small D IV school and has lost two grads to this war.

Did I say it was a great deal? No I didn't. But we have to finish what we have started.

So if we start a terrible idea, we should finish it? Wow, I'm sure you're be a successful manager somewhere until they fire you for bankrupting the company.

Here is a good reason to stay. This country is going to become VERY rich in our lifetime. Don't want terrorists to have the government's funds behind them as well as an area to grow their ranks...

You have no clue what it is like to fight this war. If we just left now, myself and many other would feel like we didn't finish our job. Also I am not a manager never want to be.

So because I've never fought in a war makes me unqualified as a tax paying US citizen to declare the wars in the middle east a colossal waste of money?

It's not a matter of you never wanting to be a manager, its a matter that no one would hire you as a manager. I know it, you know it, hell even the dog knows it.
