This is a low intensity guerilla war they are fighting. We did this in Vietnam. it's the same situation,period. There was never a reason to go to Iraq and Afghanistan in first place. There were no weps of mass destruction and to make the US safer than ever before is lame. Insurgents can hit us anywhere. Look at Fort Hood shooting or the 13 men killed here recently. Look at beirut in 1983. As for the men who have died already, what about the men in Vietnam, We lost 58,000 and thousands more are still suffering from flashbacks,injuries and the memory of it. Their families are suffering as well. It's the committment and fact that the US is willing to deploy around the globe and sacrifice men that shd be remebered on our soldiers. They shd be brought home. also, this is something that could go on for many decades. Look at the Hundred Years war beteen Britain and France. It;s not something insurgents will simply forget. But that;s just my opinion.
