    STP, I don't think we can Re-occupy A'stan because we never occupied it in the first place, which is part of the problem. I don't understand this theory of starting a war with someone and then thinking that if you have an election right in the middle of the war that everything will be alright

    Now we have an illegitimate government that is receiving huge amounts of financial aid from the US while we do the fighting and the dying....WTF?

    Also Sherman had an IED problem to, you know how he solved it? He had the civilians who would not tell him where the torpedo's(that is what they called land mines in the Civil War) were march down the road in front of his columns! The IED problem was solved real quick. Put that in an IO campaign for A'stan......I know we can't do that but we should......tie rich folks to the of front Humvee"s and search for IED's.....hey that sorta rhymes.

    Also the first thing Sherman did was prepare a SPECIAL TAX MAP and his march to sea went right through the richest parts of Georgia where he collected his food and supplies and burned bridges,tore up rail roads and knocked down telegraphs. In short he made the rich folks poor and feel pain, he did not target civilians directly he targeted their support system more than anything. Victory because he new how to make a good Systems Map
