I wanted to share with Atlas readers a letter I received from a Marine captain I correspond with time and again. His missive is tragic and articulates all that I have warned of, predicted and worried so over for years. It bodes most ill ........
Lioness of Judah,
In makes no difference from which blog this comes. The letter speaks for itself and tells us what a horrible mess our ineffective CinC has gotten us into. Read the entire letter @ A Letter from a Marine Captain in Afghanistan - Atlas Shrugs
Lioness of Judah,
I am back in Afghanistan. There is no mission, no strategy. The Muslims have us pretty well figured out. They ask, ask and ask. We then give, give and give. The commander to balks at the cycle? He is replaced by someone who will go along. The Afghans are great allies--- so long as we bribe them with goods, services, and money. They turn when we leave. Just recently, an advisor team was ordered away from an Afghan Uniformed Police team in the south because, as higher headquarters claims, they were fully trained and operational independent of ISAF help. Just the other day, the chief of police for that team was caught on our drone assets delivering a Humvee-full of weapons and ammunition to a Taliban member who is targeted for death. Of course we did not drone strike him because, after all, this is what winning looks like.
