Killed Soldier Warned Obama's Afghanistan Strategy Needlessly Endangering Troops
Killed Soldier Warned Obama's Afghanistan Strategy Needlessly Endangering Troops
58 1 65 Email Article Print ArticleSend a Tip by AWR Hawkins17 Oct 2012, 1:54 PM PDT16post a comment Stories continue to roll in of soldiers who are losing their lives by fighting a type of warfare we tried in Vietnam to no avail. The story of Army Staff Sergeant Matthew Sitton is one such example. He was KIA on August 2, 2012, after spending months warning his superiors and Congress that the style of warfare he and his men were being forced to undertake was as pointless as it was dangerous. On June 4, Sitton wrote Rep. Bill Young (R-FL) to describe the conditions under which he was fighting and the types of duties he and his men were being asked to undertake. In that correspondence, SSG Sitton wrote: Again, this is limited war at its best, which is limited war at its worst. Instead of using large weapons to level the compounds and areas around the grape rows, we are sending soldiers out on foot to walk through places riddled with IEDs which explode under the pressure of a human foot. SSG Sitton's mother says her son told her that he and his men were given a certain amount of foot patrols they had to perform in such areas over a certain amount of time. She recalled he said they frequently had to "patrol in urine and feces soaked uniforms" just to meet the foot-patrol quota -- but no clear objective or end for the patrols was ever given. As pointless as these endeavors appeared to SSG Sitton, he wrote that he remained "totally on board with sacrifice for [his] country." If we leave Afghanistan prematurely, it will become even more of a terrorists' safe haven than it already is. However, if we keep our men and women in uniform there without allowing them to fight to win, we will have committed an even worse offense than allowing Afghanistan to return to the terrorists. God bless men like Staff Sergeant Matthew Sitton. God bless his mother, and the mothers of all those who are off to war. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2...to-Afghanistan

In fairness to BHO II or Jr. and all other Allied Civilian Political Leaders dictating their militaries, both American and Allied Commanders-In-Chiefs or Amateur Civilian Warlords have ordered their militaries abide by INSANELY suicidal or QUITE STUPIDLY unilateral or one-sided Rules of Engagement,...for quite some time.
The last time our and allied militaries were given a fair shot at Total Victory & Destroying an enemy, was WWII. The last Commander-In-Chief actually ordering the U.S. Military to do so was FDR. I feel sorry for you guys & gals now always having to fight No Win PC Warfares. You all train for and deserve Much Better. Neil
