I and other Parents of Military Personnel in Afghanistan have one question for BHO.

[Hunkpapa Sioux]

What are you doing.? Why have you implemented this disastrous ROE. Why have you
done this. You are doing exactly with Gates and Mullins. What
Kennedy and Johnson did with Roberst S, McNamara. When is
your press conference coming up on your inexperience and lack
of understanding in these matters. Instead of Press Corp, fill the
seats in the briefing room with Parents of kids in the fight, We
would really like to ask some questions that you don't have pre
screened on your ignorant teleprompter.

Lets show the US what your really made of. Lets see you handle
something like that.

For you liberals and Democrats and socalist we are talking about
the non return of fire, Unless you can within a factor of 100% identify
the assailants as Taliban or Alquida. There are to be no returns of fire
unless this is established, That also is the same for Fighter Aircraft
who have been called in for Close Air Support,,

If your kid was in this fight, would you want them ham strung like this.
Yes or NO.


SOCOM;Sgt.Maj. ret. 30 years active duty service
4 tours to the sand and the mountain regions of Afghanistan.

You are 100% correct! First of all, let me thank you and your family for your service. Secondly, it reminds me of a lesson taught by Gen Pershing in the Phillipines in the 1920's. Seems there was a bit of a Muslim insurgent problem there as well. Upon capturing 50 of the insurgents, they were lined up and forced to watch as several pigs were slaughtered. These are unclean filthy beasts and a Muslim and can not even touch one to enter heaven. He then had the rifle platoon dip their bullets in the swine blood and used those bullet to execute 49 out of the 50. The 49 dead were then covered in pig entrails, blood and other parts, then thrown in a mass grave along with the pigs. The 1 that was not shot, was released to go tell his comrades what happened. There was not another terrorist attack in the Phillipines for 35 years. We have forgotten, the object of war is to win, not to be liked and accepted by the vile filth killing our children.

I'm a democrat and I understand that roe means rules of engagement and I'm planning on joining the army. As for the rules their a pain in the ass but this isn't a kill all taliban offensive, its a hearts and minds offensive and in the long run shooting civillians means more taliban, which means more dead soldiers.

You and I both know that Obama has put his Generals in charge. He is not micro-managing them like Bush/Cheney did. The Generals know the conditions on the ground there, you and I do not know what changes are happening right now. Let the Generals work, or are you so afraid they will succeed that you want to sabotage them and kill more of our soldiers? I remember how the micro-management and political second guessing worked against us in Vietnam, I do not want to see the troops in Afghanistan have to go through that just so you Republicans can score some political points.

If you are what you claim, Welcome Home, and Thank You for your service.
