McChrystal should NEVER have been placed in charge of the Afghanistan mission: His plan is for the U.S. Military (and N.A.T.O. forces) to become the police force of that country!!!!!!
Instead of killing the al-Qaidas & Talibans he proposes to protect the civilian population (you know, crossing guards, traffic cops, fire departments, ambulances, et al). If this isn't about the nuttiest proposal it would be hard to come up with a nuttier: None of those things work HERE in the U.S.A. for Heaven's sakes! They're going to work in Afghanistan?! Let McChrystal try it out first in Philly for a few decades.
The aim of every war is to give it all ya got and try to win it--Once your purpose becomes to wear everybody down with endless shoot'em up's for years on end... that, by definition, is your non-winnable war: Git out!
We are in the second or third stages of re-creating The Vietnam Experience.
We're long past the stage where "This is a war we have designed to try to not lose it." --We all know this war can NOT be won without fighting it in Pakistan (where our enemy is). But now McChrystal wants to continue the body count & the bankrupting of America with goofball plans that would be comical ... were they not so pathetic and tragic.
