Then Perhaps It Is Time to Leave
July 15, 2017
Defense Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis: “We are not winning in Afghanistan right now.” Then perhaps it is time to leave, don’t you think? I mean, we have only been there longer than we fought the Nazi’s in WW2 and longer than we fought the “gooks” (John McCain’s word) in Vietnam. How many more American soldiers will die before we leave? And how is it that the greatest military power the world has ever seen (the USA) is not winning in Afghanistan?
