so be it...but you still lost....regardless....if one sits down on the 1 yd line and doesn't score...you lose.....
Actually I can't think of 1 win since WW2 for the US....Iraq, maybe....but that could end up being for nothing....Aphgan....like the Russians, will be beat by a bunch of goat herders...
Hard to win when you are not allowed to play. Our troops are just sent over to die.
8 from a Michigan MP unit were attacked by Afgan police a few weeks ago. They were hit at first light, while still in their tents. There was a 55 minute firefight before they were driven off.
This attack was part of a corrordinated series of attacks that took place across the country that day.
All 8 will survive. One lost an eye. One female medic was shot in both hands.
Paul, one of the guys I hunted with was there. He has now taken control of the platoon since the platoon leader was one of the wounded.
Why do I bring this up? They were NOT allowed to pursue the enemy when they drove them off. They are REQUIRED to stay IN the compound unless on a mission that has first been cleared by the Afgan police. The SAME police that attacked them.
There is no way to win when not allowed to play.
