Army Guy Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 I think there is a large misconception of any type of operations in afgan, be it combat ops, building a road, delivering aid, digging a well...every time you leave the wire for what ever reason your dressed and armed as if you are going to war...it is not a matter of "if" your going to get attack but "when" The bad guys don't give a rats ass if your planting flowers or delivering teddy bears "your a target". I've read the NDP reports and i'm a little confused...first they start off with a complete withdrawal of all troops in the south by feb 2007, which is a big change from just recently when they said they wanted to pull out all troops from afgan and redeploy them into Darfur...which is inconsistent with what they are saying now... Now they believe it would be alright to stay in Afgan if we had one of those nice safe jobs in the north....and as long as we stay with thier plan for reconstruction, etc,etc, anything but combat... And to top it all off Dion has taken up the NDP's call a total pull out in 2009, because we have other problems in the world to solve. Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
FascistLibertarian Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah the NDP will be in favour of Sudan until we lose people. Then they would want us in Haiti, until we lose people. Then maybe back to A-Stan. No one can evcer explain how you can have development without security. Well if people dont support this war (okayed by the UN and Nato) then they pretty much would never support any war, which would be nice but doesnt work in the real world. I think in ww2 we should have only maintained our fighting role until 1944. Quote
