Hi Hawkmoon; I'm hoping that the US is able to stop them from reaching Kabul. No need to be shy about it, why should we coddle our enemy, sworn to kill us and armed to the teeth (with obsolete weaponry)?

Sure it would piss off their relatives to get the body bags back, but if they don't get them all at once, they're just going to get them dribbling in later. And they will eventually blame their religious leaders and the Taliban for sacrificing their lives to so little effect.

And this war will become more uglier than anything we've seen since WWII...

One warthog looks the same as another, to me. I hate quantifyin' and I hate inhumanity. I understand that part of human nature creates a need for clashes, and I prefer to be on the still-breathing side, however ugly.
