Hi, I see that u think US Troops fighting out in Afghanistan is going to make us safer at Home. But u r utterly wrong. Sooner or later Afghan resistance will throw out all the foreign troops from there. History shows that Afghans had never been subjucted by anyone-starting from Alexander the Great. And the biggest drawback of the US stragery is that ur military fights small wars like they would fight big wars. US forces are not just not conditioned to fight such guerilla warfare; you are reluctant to take casualities. And remember that one dead innocent Afghan drives 10 others to the resistance movement.

For getting anywhere near defeating the Taliban is by getting out of those armoured vehicles and using very less of those Attack Helicopters. I live in a remote Northeastern Indian state which is wrecked by a deadly guerilla insurgency and its terrain is hilly and jungle (a very ideal guerrilla territory); but yet Indian Army is able to hold on. The terrain is more complicated than Vietnam.
I have never seen Indian troops using Choppers in ops here even though the guerrillas hold very high advantages. Now there is a ceasefire because ultimately it is a political thing not a law and order problem.
