Deadly insider attack that left 3 U.S. Marines dead was work of an Afghan teenager:
KABUL — The teenage assailant who killed three Marines last week on a U.S. military base in southern Afghanistan had easy access to the weapons arsenal of the Afghan police. He was in near-constant contact with U.S. troops, often when they were without their guns and body armor.
This is an ongoing war that will never be won. The time to pull out by the USA has expired many years ago. We still have our service men getting killed and maimed fighting a losing battle.
Give a person/people a basket of fish, they can eat for a week; give a person/people a fishing rod and they can eat for life.
We have given the people in the Middle East train loads of fish and they keep relying on the USA to protect them; on the other hand they hate us and want us to get out of their country.
The time is here to give them all fishing rods and have them fend for themselves. Not one more service person should be killed or injured in their defense. Regardless of how long we continue to give the fish there will never be any resolution to these so called “religious wars” they have been fight for centuries.
