Back in the day, you called for “reinforcements,” not a “surge.” Old infantry vets know Afghanistan has all the makings of a meat grinder. And we’re not even fighting a mechanized army. I’ve seen photos of Marines squatting in bunkers, and videos showing tentative troop movements and, just recently, a commander pulling back, saying, “. . . It’s too dangerous out there.” Surely, our politically tendentious media packages and skews their reportage; but our guys are being left out to dry in Afghanistan’s open, vast territory—moving on the low ground, bunched in tight, target-easy packs, looking for a wily, elusive, and competent enemy.

The larger problem, unfortunately, is the insidious “enemy” inside the gates of the White House, our chief military “commander,” whose inaction, indecision, temporizing border on criminal. It should be axiomatic by now: Unless tactical units in Afghanistan get enhanced means to seek, find, and kill this fluid enemy in numbers, our troops, brave as they are, will continue to be in over their heads. Afghanistan is just too large a battleground for so relatively few on so fitful a military mission.

Roxy,…
At what point do you stand up and say ENOUGH !
GWB is not dead, but he did have the ability to inspire the American People.
He was no Reagan by any means, but he was not a charlatan either.

All service personnel take an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States of America.
So do the members of congress, and so does the President of the United States of America.

The troops are duty bound to follow orders from their superiors.

The troops are not mind numb robots, nor are the officers in charge.
All, as intelligent individuals, and dedicated to a cause that they believe in, will question authority, or the lack of it, on an ongoing basis, and they should.
The fact that this administration dismisses any dissenting opinions concerning our troops is
frightening to say the least.
Obama has no advisers around him that have any military experience whatsoever that I can see, or they, if they exist, are entranced by his “charisma”, and afraid of the ramifications of any obstacles they would place in his path to ruin our Country.

The Marine in the picture at the head of the post says it for all of us.

Great post.

The main difference between George Bush and Obama is the arrogance Obama emotes when talking to ANYBODY !!

The U.S. troops read Obama like a book.
Bush never talked in a demeaning nature to our troops by dismissing their commanders in public, by not taking their advice.

The troops are over there, on the ground, have the internet, and see and know what the hell is going on.

Their officers are committed to follow orders from the Obama, which the career officers, and field officers I feel are beginning to lose confidence in the CIC given the fact that he couldn’t care less about the troops.

You can be ignorant and arrogant at the same time.
Obama is both.

Well said, Roxy. You’ve said it beautifully. When he was in office, it likely would not have to occurred to many people to have called Bush “gentlemanly.” Or “statesmanly.” Or “strong.” Or “patriotic.” Because that is what one presumes an American president will be, so it would be silly to have any other expectation of him. Silly to admire him for having those qualities.

How quickly things change. And how quickly the absence of those qualities makes one realize how good we had it when we didn’t realize it. How remarkable Bush was.

I trusted my life and the lives of my children with Bush after 9/11, no hesitation. With Obama, I don’t.

I miss Bush too and I’m sure his “retirement” is not very pleasant for him. He has to stand back and watch as Obama dismantles this country, one block at a time. I’ve often wondered – in the last 10 months – what Bush is thinking and how sad he must be to see what’s happening. I think he’s showing himself to be a bigger man and a much greater statesman than Obama will ever be by staying silent and gentlemanly.

One adjective that cannot ever be used to describe Obama or his cronies: gentlemanly.

Or statesmen, for that matter.
