Reading those brief bios, and reflecting on the 2,000+ other duty-bound Americans who have fallen in Afghanistan, is almost too much to bear. The 58,000+ names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall should have taught the American 'leadership' a valuable historical lesson, but apparently they didn't.

The fact that Barack Obama could announce a 'scheduled withdrawal' to take place in 2014, and then keep American troops over there during the three-year interim, is despicable. The blood of every American who has died in that country since he announced the 'scheduled withdrawal' is on his hands.

He knows full well that there is certainly no indication that the Taliban and their al-Qaeda allies have plans to renounce their campaign of terror against the West; nor will they permit Afghanistan to resume its former role as a Central Asian trading hub. Not only is the Taliban preparing to move in like a swarm of locusts once American troops are withdrawn, but there are thousands of al-Qaeda sympathisers in neighboring Pakistan just champing at the bit to return to Afghanistan and re-establish the training camps that played a major role in planning the devastation of 9/11.

The American president is either stupid and naive, or he believes the American military is simply his own personal political tool, and the loss of young American lives borders on irrelevance. I know which explanation I believe, and it is infinitely more evil than the other.
