Pull Out

End the war. $10 billion a month without a return on investment is one good reason, plus we can’t afford it. Stop wasting American troops’ lives on Afghanistan. Get out now.

"End the war. $10 billion a month without a return on investment is one good reason, plus we can’t afford it. Stop wasting American troops’ lives on Afghanistan."

'Thirty-one US Special Forces and seven local troops were killed when the Taliban shot down their helicopter, officials said Saturday_in what was the deadliest single incident for foreign soldiers since the war began in 2001.'

This war wasn't fought smart or with economic reality being a factor. To late now..lol Shows America is lacking correct military strategy and leadership in this 21st century NWO.
