Because President-elect Obama has pledged to send more troops into Afghanistan, this video is a good educational tool of what happened to other countries who tried to topple the Taliban in Afghanistan.
This is Pt. 2 of the mini-documentary.

Classic example, Cork, why I say that the enemy of your enemy ain't necessarily your friend. Revenge for Vietnam?? Never should've been there in the 1st damn place! Since it's a no-win, this is why I tell everybody a draft would be merely a wast. The troops need to be home!
Hi Bill,
I linked to you over at my blog:

Thanks for your service and also for posting what the mainstream media is ignoring.
Anonymous: Thanks for writing. You won't have to worry about a draft. According to my sources the dire job outlook is causing more and more young men and women to join the military.

Thanks for writing. I tried to go to the link you gave me for your blog, but it didn't work. No harm, no foul.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Economic draft, Cork. The worst kind! And it's "waste", not "wast". Sorry, typo.
Anonymous: Thanks for writing again.
It is the worst kind of draft, but what are these young people to do when jobs are so scarce?
Bill
That's the sad part, Cork. Whether it's an official or an economic draft, it still gives the warmongers a plentiful source of cannon fodder. That's why I believe it's all by design. But it's also self-destructive to THIS country. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO TRY THE POLICE THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY!! Now in your other presentation, with the Afghan women and the two women US Soldiers, I'm afraid that the two US soldiers have drunk the Kool-aid, the sarge more so than the helicopter pilot. WHY? Though it sounds nice to want to give women rights in the Mideast, it's up to the people to fight their OWN fight. IT'S AN ENDLESS NO-WIN! All the "HOO-RAHS!" in the world wont change that. If I remember right (and I may be wrong), there was a time in Afghanistan that most or many of the doctors were women. After the fundamentalists took over, then that changed. But who cares? It ain't worth 1 American life. NOT ONE!! The US needs to take care of things in the US, not funding multiple proxy wars and sticking its nose where it does not belong. It's all about the pipeline. And to paraphrase one of the Afghan women, democracy doesn't come at the barrel of a gun.
