Seems to me that has been done as well as we can do it, given that the Afghanistani people seem to be more sympathetic to fundamental Islam than to secualry humanist democracy we seem to be pushing. |
No one used the term.."winning" except you. There's a difference between "winning" and accomplishing your mission. You could be losing a war and still accomplish your mission (not an implication). What he's saying, is that marines are not going to come home (or even want to) until they know they've completed their mission. Basic common sense
