Bing West - Finishing firefights difficult in Afghanistan
Bing West embedded with British soldiers and U.S. Marines narrates his way through what goes on with their strategy and how they take on the Taliban.
Battalions inflict few Taliban casualties - due to Taliban Apache-like tactics, coalition heavy armor and risk aversion to minimize casualties. See www.westwrite.com report by Bing West, based on embeds in April, July and October.

this is MUCH worse than LBJ's and Westmoreland's vietnam tactics.
You fight a war to win ... close in and DESTROY the enemy is the only way to win.
I want to see the Commanding General simply pull out the american forces and tell obama to go suck on his own dick!

What to do?
Go after the enemy and suffer heavy casualties or hide in the cities and let the Taliban control virtually the entire country?
There is of course a third alternative.
Get the fukk out of Aghanistan and never come back.

You wanna know why guy.
This is because "The Marine Corps is like America's little pit bull. They beat em, mistreat em, and every now and then they let em out to attack someone."
