On our way out of Afghanistan.

You're not trolling. Unlike me, you don't have the required personality flaw that it takes to think that kind of shit is funny.

Now the support is at an all-time low.

CNN) - Support for the war in Afghanistan has fallen to an all-time low with the majority of Americans saying the U.S. should withdraw all of its troops from Afghanistan before the 2014 deadline set by the Obama administration, according to a new poll.

The CNN/ORC International survey released Friday indicated only 25% of Americans favored the war in the Asian country. A majority of Republicans voiced opposition to it, for the first time since the war began in 2001. Just 37% of the general public said things are going well for the U.S. in Afghanistan, while only 34% said America is winning the war. The approval likely contributed to the 55% of those surveyed who said the U.S. should remove all of its troops from the country before 2014.

Twenty-two percent expressed support for the 2014 timetable and an additional 22% said the U.S. should keep some troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014.

Leaders at the Pentagon have recently responded to low poll numbers by stressing the importance of fighting the war on the ground.

"We cannot fight wars by polls," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Tuesday. "If we do that we're in deep trouble. We have to operate based on what we believe is the best strategy to achieve the mission that we are embarked on. And the mission here is to safeguard our country by ensuring that the Taliban and al Qaeda never again find a safe haven in Afghanistan."

The poll, conducted for CNN by ORC International, surveyed 1,014 American adults by telephone between March 24 and March 25 with a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Definitely a quagmire (and not the "giggity" kind).

No matter how long we stay, it will never be long enough for them to "train and equip" their police force.

Except our military personnel are not treated like scum like they were last time.

Knowing the left though, it may be jsut a matter of time.

You go first.

There's nothing here to level where I'm at, now maybe down south you could flame some drug fields and do some good, but most of Afghanistan, it would be a waste of a bomb to drop it. This place is so far in the stone age, I don't think it will ever have anything.

Uhh... first to what?

Possible election move?

What I mean is: lead the charge, hoss.

Well said. The idea would have worked in Iraq where there was infrastructure but what are you going to bomb, the mountains?

If we just would have stayed twenty more years....

Or just carpet bombed the whole area September 12th.

I was really hoping Trump would have dropped all those MOABS.
