re: I’ve Never Seen Dana Perino As Upset As She Is Now Over Leaving Afghanistan

Perino talks big, and clearly has no idea of what really goes in during dismounted combat and route clearance operations. The verbal interaction that occurred between our units and tribal honchos.

She should have been there in 09 during route clearance operations in the Watapur district, of north eastern Afghanistan to truly understand the horror of your buddies being blown up, burned and shot. The Taliban using indirect and automatic machine gun fire on our convoys and escaping into Pakistan, where we couldn’t go after these assholes due to rules of engagement.

It’s easy for Perino to make these statements from for the safety of her own home, without any experience of what really happened in Afghanistan.
