RE: America’s Dumbest War, Ever

I am currently based in Kandahar Province as well. I totally and whole heartedly agree with everything written and must say that this is the absolute truth. For the longest time, we were not allowed to partner with the ANSF. There is one problem with that. I am an advisor to an ANSF unit, so we are basically being told that we can't do our jobs AT ALL. And its only second handedly coming from Karzai. It is 1005 coming from our own Generals and Politicians. As soon as we received the FRAGO limiting movement, as the Ops Guy for my team, I gelt inclined to state that we must remember that this is an election year and the President and Congress will have no one dying while the candidates are campaigning.
