<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverspoonvint, post: 1441495, member: 37921&quot;]I was expecting that outta an Army guy! The Marines are the point of the spear, but of course I&#039;ll say that, I&#039;m from a Navy family. His convoy got blown up 4-5 times by ied&#039;s on one tour alone and they had contact everyday. According to his Mother, they were doing convoy&#039;s the Army wouldn&#039;t (I&#039;m sure it isn&#039;t that simple, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a political centrist, and very supportive of the initial decision to go to Afghanistan, I just never saw the point in trying to make it a democracy. I&#039;ve seen a lot of kids my age (31 but 21 at the time of initial invasion) and younger killed. I think the Soviets are different in that they wanted to own the country as their own, unlike us with our good intentions to help their people create a country worth living in. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my crazed Episcopal point of view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
