Who in the heck do I think I am? Giving the President advice on Afghanistan. I’m a former soldier, a husband, a father and a lab tech, but I’m not on the front lines freezing living in a tent. Afghanistan in winter is not easy duty. Extended behind enemy lines exposes how much American booty? What goals can be achieved if all we see is snow? Will there ever be a perfect time to find the courage for us to go? Why put 40 thousand more troops into this harsh winter wonderland? It won’t save America or kill all the Taliban. I say, “Pull back President Obama.” This is Afghanistan. Why not use the pilotless drones to learn all that we can?

In summary, during the winter it becomes a war against the elements for both sides. Let’s find out where the enemy hides and strike them if we must? Daring them to challenge us in the elements is a foolish strategy. Nothing is accomplished and it provides a false sense of security. Putting 40K more troops in the ice and snow is a level of stupidity only offered by “The GOP.” You won the Nobel Prize for “Inspiring Us to Change.” Will you find the courage to change strategy? If not now…when?
