The General spoke his mine, but he should have held his fire and quit first. Then took his shots, what say you ?

His first mistake and by his own admission, was voting for the complete idiot in the first place!!!

A series of mistakes on his part but I liked seeing him stand up to the sheep herder and his sheep.

I too like seeing it and in Rolling Stone rag to. But one as to follow the chain of command and give POTUS ( the office not the ass wipe in it) it's respect. And I didn't know he voted for "O". I hope he walks in and quits on the spot.

He should have resigned first, then blew the whistle on the whole crowd.

But after saying it before,,,he should have NEVER apologized for his remarks! He should have walked into the White house, told them what he thought, and told them to take the job and stick it!

But by apologizing,,,he now has to stand before them with his tail between his legs. But he should walk away.....a civilian!
What a shame!

I know some of you may disagree with me on this, even I am surprised at myself for suddenly changing my mind on this.

I think we should pull all the troops out of Afghanistan "today" or as soon as possible. My reasons are this,,,first, I don't think we are trying to build any type of an army to defend the Afgan people, when we leave, as we did in Iraq, and if we are,,,,we will never be able to do it by the departure date "O" has set for mid next year.
If not, then the moment we do leave next year, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and others will come in the back door as we leave through the front door.

There never has been a central government that held any power over the entire country.
If "O" doesn't plan to stay and finish the job, then why have our troops stay in the country and being killed.
I wouldn't want my boys over there getting shot at under those conditions.

That's what happened in VN, they didn't fight the war to win, only to contain, and 65000 of our troops were murdered because our government put restrictions on them about how to fight and where to bomb, just as they are in Afghanistan now.

No sir, fight to win, what ever it takes, plan to stay for many years,,,,or get the hell out of there!

The dems screamed at Bush the whole time we were in Iraq to get out, get out.
You don't hear those screams as loud now that "O" is in office, you don't hear them talk about stopping the funding for the war as loud now, do you.
What is the reason to stay another year getting our troops killed, only to leave next year and give it all back to the Taliban?

Nope, now I'm demanding the dems get the hell out of there, just as they gave Bush hell to do so in Iraq.

Larry

My new thoughts are, bring all troops home from every country in the world, where we have them, and tell all the world, don't tread on us, and if you do, we will bomb you back to the stone age.
Spend our money at home, and use it to build this country so strong, anyone would be insane to mess with us. We send billions of dollars to prop up all these countries, only to have them spit on us and tell us they don't approve of us. I would also remove us from the United Nations, tell all of them to get the hell out of our country and destroy the UN building, and build a soda shop there, giving the land it sets on, some real usefulness.
OK, I'm done now!

Welcome to the believers of U.S. Constitution and The Washington farewell speech. Oh and I think you maybe turning in to a Libertarian Larry. And Bush started this mess, We should have bombed them for 40 days and 40 nights and thought them a Old Testament lesson. And never put boots in that $hit hole of a place. IMO
