I hope McKrystal has plans for these men as they arrive. They don't need to be idol with big plans and expectations ahead of them. These men have a hell of a mission ahead of them. < :-)

Good luck. War is so stupid, but that is the human way. Inhumane

Today's technology, plus our present satilite system, shuld negate the need for thousands of soldiers. Today's wars could be a "walk in the park" - I predict the day will come when a single person sitting at a desk anywhere in the world can win any war in any part of this world and knowing this, every nation should insist on meetings and talks before making any stupid moves.

I played this videogame before. I sent in all the drones first for shock value. Then got the planes in the air with the surge ground troops following. With the mountains the attack from the air made sense, but I had to control from the ground. I would wait until the poppies are ready to harvest before my attack and use that to support my "war" also.

With the mines there were many civilians hurt (mostly kids), but that was expected.

First, Yes, do know how to spell "should." However, did you realize that Google alone has made it possible for anyone to peer into anyones back yard and know what colors skivvies you wore last week? Their "eyes in the sky" can almost read the name on a golf ball played by Tiger Woods. Did you know it is now possible to find a lost dog from a small "chip" your dog may have had placed in his shoulder by the vet you hired?

Let's hope the Taliban won't be hacking into these as "al-Qaida" in Iraq allegedly have......

"War is so stupid"

Yes, we should just give up, bend over and grab the ankles, lol.

"high-tech surveillance drone such as a Predator or a Reaper"

Some of these drones carry missiles which kill people. "Predator" and "Grim Reaper" would be good names for them.
