re: We don't even know WHO we're fighting in Afghanistan, let alone WHY

I went to Iraq in 03' at the very beginning of the war, when it was still the wild west. It was the same way in Iraq too. One day we were talking with a local leader and the very next day we were talking to his enemy, all the while paying a 3rd leader who hated both of them. It was insanity. The further i get away from my time in the military and my experience in Iraq, the more i weep for two of my brothers who didn't make it home. Islam is a complex issue that modern civilization has no chance to solve. Its one thing to be 20-30 years behind in society...but the middle east and Africa are literally 200 years behind. We cant even think on that level...let alone try and win a war on that level. Get us out...get us out now!!!
