Arrow Let Them Fight Or Bring Them Home

As everyone that is keeping up with the war in Afghanistan knows there is a huge discussion regarding COIN and ROE taking place.

The link I've provided here tonight is one very important side of that discussion. The comments below the letter posted on Let Them Fight Or Bring Them Home are worth reading also.

I will be adding other links as I go along to support the other side of the discussion please feel free to read and then comment...

The Letter that started everything...

Josh was on his second combat tour....

So many of you have been so kind throughout all of this. When the AP release hit the net today I realized that most everyone who has been tracking the progress of this effort have never seen the original letter I wrote to our delegation in DC. The issue was important then and even more so today. Since then, dozens of men have died staying in compliance with the current COIN strategy and its ROE; including my Son.
