we need to bring some love to the middle east, give the children cookies, build some nice mosques, build some starbucks and we send them a "sorry for everything" card.

hopefully they give us some amazing hummus in return.

Two more were killed in a "green on blue" attack today (Afghan soldiers killing Americans), making the total killed seven today.

High Schools have ROTC programs, and I'd assume recruiters are an extension of this program.

Fighting forces gone from Afghanistan in 2014 and around 10,000 will remain. Presently 60,000 down from a high of 100,000, they can't leave soon enough.
