    Like I said, my step brother is back in Afghanistan, he is a combat engineer by trade. He was in Iraq in ’03 and volunteered to go back after a stint here as a DI and a recruiter. Word is he is in the offensive.

    What you are seeing is the difference between a socialist society and a capitalist society in its ability to develop and field new tech. We have the money. It still stuns the Taliban and the terrorist that we would field a million dollar UAV and shoot fifty thousand dollar missiles to kill two terrorists.

    That was their downfall.
