Obama to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Because they want to create order, not kill everyone. It's the same reason they don't just nuke the place.

Yeah he promised increased forces in Afghanistan, so he is sticking to what he said. 

the ghost:
The only way we win over there is to take the fucking kid gloves off already.

Furor Teutonicus:
I don't think the war in Afgahnistan can be won. Obviously, they're not ready for 'democracy' and western values.

America should learn from the Russians.

virtuoso:

You must be joking right? there are tens of thousands of mercenaries there who essentially operate with impunity, therefore that alone would ridicule the notion that anyone is operating with kid gloves. This is a country with vast terrains, with a population of in excess of 75 million, the third poorest country on this earth. Their prosperity has not improved, they haven't benefited from even the rebuilding efforts of their own country. Added to that, we already know the trigger happy ill disciplined nature of American soldiers anyway and so it's reasonable to assume there was never any kid gloves. This is an occupation force which is intent on staying there for several decades, there is clearly no doubt about that. People have a truly unrealistic view of what a "victory" is, if Russia could not succeed with some 500,000 troops, then neither can this contingent of much smaller number, therefore their remit is not total victory, instead it's to occupy the key resources and strategic areas.
