"Hearing the president's request for exit strategies at the beginning of what would be "his" Afghan war — and thinking of our young troops, 18, 19, 20, 21 years old, who have volunteered to risk their lives for America — how on God's good earth can we ask those wonderful kids to risk dying for an exit strategy?
I have heard from a few of them, and they are game to make a fight of it, if their country believes it's necessary. Of course, they will obey all their orders and commands. But what a cold and heartless command — to send our generation's "Yanks" off to risk their young lives just to prepare to retreat (i.e., exit)."
