Being from Petawawa and not seeing a flag fully raised in a few weeks, I'm not too sure of my feelings on the Afghan mission. I know a lot of people over there at the moment, and I'm just not sure they can accomplish the objective.
Have you seen the growth the Taliban has had in the south again? Their area of influence is growing weekly. NATO seems to be falling for the old trap of removing the Taliban from an area and claiming it to be free, then leaving themselves to let the taliban reclaim what they just lost. The exact same thing that happened in Vietnam.
I don't know, maybe if the yanks had finished one war before starting another Afghanistan might not be so bad, but they weren't thinking of that when they left and went to Iraq.
