How the war is really going

I have heard a lot in the past few days from soldiers who came back from the War when they didn’t think I was listening. I work at an AFB.

Afghanistan – We are losing the war here hands down. We are retreating in the South for sure. Taliban bomb our roads before they are built in the North where we still are holding on. Taliban bomb our roads as we are building them. Our troops are so scared they can’t even make sure their guns are loaded right before they shoot. 1/3 of our casualties in Afghanistan are due to friendly fire. ¼ of our casualties are from guns misfiring because the soldiers can’t spend the time to load their weapons right due to constantly being under fire. The only sin in a convoy is to be the last truck, which gets bombed ½ the time. He Afghan people have never known and do not appreciate the so called structure we gave them and the country is falling backwards as I write this.

The only solution in both wars is to have everyone work 17-18 hours every day so they won’t think about what they are doing.

Iraq – We are gaining because of the size of our forces in use. When we leave it is clear that the Iraqi’s will lose their sovereignty to the outside forces. The so called green zone is bombed at will by forces we don’t control. We control parts of almost every city we want to control, but we have to maintain a heavy presence in order to do that. Most of the Iraqi’s are good people and are sick of the war. The Iraqi people have the will to maintain the structure we gave to them, but the people with guns want to rule and they will when we leave.
