And it’s not really mission we’re talking about, but execution. The overall mission hasn’t changed – make Afghanistan governable by means of civil- and military-focused assistance, ie, building infrastructure and aiding good governance/removing the Taliban, al Quaeda, and whoever else from the equation. The general has, rather, reported that the current means for doing so aren’t working, and need to be changed.

Sounds like someone’s doing his damn job, really.

Dude,

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over….

I’m hoping that you forgot to add a sarcasm tag to the end of your rant, because if not, it shows a real serious ignorance of what soldiers do.

And don’t do.

Why doesn’t McChrystal resign NOW. Same applies to EVERYONE in the military. Every single soldier in the military NEEDS to resign. These soldiers need to say NO to giving citizens the poison [soul condemning] swine flu shots and say NO to the NWO fags.

If people would just seriously WAKE THE HELL UP NOW, the NWO can be DEFEATED. There is STRENGTH in numbers.

G-Man, COIN tactics in this case are not defensive. They are offensive.

Just like people thought convoys were a defensive measure. They weren’t they were offensive. The U-boats had to close the convoy to fulfill their mission, making them easy targets for the screen.

Similarly, the Taliban has to close with the population to have any effect in Afghanistan. That’s why we need to be with the population. Force the Taliban to come fight on turf of our choosing. And to do that, you need a larger force. It’s as simple as that. It ain’t rocket surgery.

Trust Flit to characterize the General for a leaked report.

What next Flit, does he still beat his wife and kids? Who do you imagine “dictates mission statements”? We’re just silly fighting men and we follow our leaders. Do I need to factor in what both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid say alongside what Obama says on top of what the Mc says? Can you make it any more confusing?
