Unreasonable Risk and Ill-Conceived Combat Missions Define Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy
As a consequence of that misplaced ethical concern for an inappropriately identified non-combatant population, they have unnecessarily endangered our forces and reduced their combat effectiveness by forcing them to consider the lives of these 'non-combatants' as superior to their own. This is the very definition of 'unreasonable risk'.
COIN Claims Another Two American Casualties in Afghanistan
Military censorship only goes so far. Now we know, contrary to official reports, at least two US Marines were hit by the bomb driven into the Kajaki Sofla bazaar by a suicide bomber on a motorcycle on January 18, 2012. Corporal Phillip McGeath, 25, was killed; Corporal Christopher Bordoni, [...]
The United States Government’s Willful Ignorance Is Costing Soldiers’ Lives
Herschel Smith and I have had some lengthy conversations about this current war, the disposition of the enemy, their relationship with the civilian populations amongst whom they operate, and the substance of the religion they all claim to adhere to.
Fundamentally, we agree. We have had some minor disagreements about strategy selections from time to time [...]
The View From The Tower
If I were a psychiatrist, I could find the perfect label for the depths of denial or heights of delusion that manifest themselves in Frederick and Kimberly Kagan’s latest declarations on Iraq published in the Washington Post as “opinion.” “Fantasy” is more like it. Their premise is [...]
Ganjgal Travesty: Politically Correct Rules of Engagement Led to Soldiers’ Deaths
Burn these Officers? You bet! But throw those in congress, and the administration and Sec Def and the Pentagon who allowed this to happen to begin with, into some cold, damp pit of a prison until eternity as well!
Karzai’s Gauntlet; Unfortunate Rambling or Veiled Truth?
And in case the most salient point in this is missing on some; I will spell it out: This latest statement from Karzai, whether immature prattle or doctrinal exhortation, will surely make the environment in Afghanistan far more lethal for our Warriors
Legitimizing Cold Blooded Murderers; The New Rave!
For those who can't follow the logic; let me help you: Reaching out to the Haqqani Network, right now, after so brazen an attack in Kabul, against Sovereign US territory, would be akin to reaching out to Al Qaeda one week after the Trade Towers were blown back to the earth.
The Petraeus CIA: A Gigantic Conflict Of Interest
Gen. David Petraeus, June 23, 2011, in confirmation hearings before the Senate Select Intelligence Committee
—
In an April 2011 column, I argued that both Barack Obama and the COINdinista Right had good (for them) reasons to perpetuate wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama’s reason is obvious. He doesn’t want the nation to [...]
Does Sacrificing Sheep and Special Ops Go Together?
Times of London photo: Admiral William McRaven on Nanawate Day, 2010
—
From the St Pete Times:
Just days after 30 U.S. troops, including 22 Navy SEALs, died when their helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, Adm. William McRaven took the helm of U.S. Special Operations Command in a somber ceremony at MacDill Air Force [...]
