DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN WILL BE DOING? WATCH THIS VIDEO AND FIND OUT
According to the latest news reports more than 90 percent of the people in the United States don't have a relative or even know anyone serving in the United States military.
Is it any wonder why so few people both in the mainstream media and with the general population know or care about our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This video is just a small glimpse of what our troops are doing in Afghanistan.
President Obama may be sending more troops into this mess in Afghanistan.
The question everyone should be asking is WHY?

13 BULLET-RIDDLED BODIES FOUND NEAR BAGHDAD
Posted on November 16, 2009 at 9:42 AM
Updated today at 9:42 AM
http://www.khou.com/news/world/70187662.html
BAGHDAD (AP) — Gunmen wearing Iraqi army uniforms abducted and killed at least 13 people in a village west of Baghdad, in what some described as revenge against Sunnis who helped fight al-Qaida, Iraqi officials said Monday.
The exact motive for the attack was unclear, but it could be a case of insurgents killing locals allied to the central government or an internal struggle among the region's fractious tribes.
While members of the Iraqi military have been accused in the past of taking part in extra-judicial killings, such uniforms are also widely available on the open market and have been used by insurgents in the past to conceal their identities.

MOM SHIPPPED TO AFGHANISTAN WHILE INFANT SON IS SHIPPED TO PROTECTIVE SERVICES BY ARMY: DAHR JAMAIL REPORTS
U.S.:Army Sends Infant to Protective Services, Mom to Afghanistan
Dahr Jamail
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=49256
VENTURA, California, Nov 13 (IPS) - U.S. Army Specialist Alexis Hutchinson, a single mother, is being threatened with a military court-martial if she does not agree to deploy to Afghanistan, despite having been told she would be granted extra time to find someone to care for her 11-month-old son while she is overseas.
Hutchinson, of Oakland, California, is currently being confined at Hunter Army Airfield near Savannah, Georgia, after being arrested.
Her son was placed into a county foster care system. Hutchinson has been threatened with a court martial if she does not agree to deploy to Afghanistan on Sunday, Nov. 15.
She has been attempting to find someone to take care of her child, Kamani, while she is deployed overseas, but to no avail.
According to the family care plan of the U.S. Army, Hutchinson was allowed to fly to California and leave her son with her mother, Angelique Hughes of Oakland. However, after a week of caring for the child, Hughes realised she was unable to care for Kamani along with her other duties of caring for a daughter with special needs, her ailing mother, and an ailing sister.
In late October, Angelique Hughes told Hutchinson and her commander that she would be unable to care for Kamani after all. The Army then gave Hutchinson an extension of time to allow her to find someone else to care for Kamani. Meanwhile, Hughes brought Kamani back to Georgia to be with his mother.
However, only a few days before Hutchinson's original deployment date, she was told by the Army she would not get the time extension after all, and would have to deploy, despite not having found anyone to care for her child.
Faced with this choice, Hutchinson chose not to show up for her plane to Afghanistan.
The military arrested her and placed her child in the county foster care system.

U.S. ARMY: TROOP MORALE FALLS IN AFGHANISTAN
U.S. Army: Troop morale falls in Afghanistan
Military also points to shortage of mental health workers to aid soldiers
NBC News and news services
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33908828/ns/us_news-military/
WASHINGTON - Morale has fallen among soldiers in Afghanistan, where troops are seeing record violence in the 8-year-old war, while those in Iraq show much improved mental health amid much lower violence, the Army said Friday.
Soldier suicides in Iraq did not increase for the first time since 2004, according to a new study.
Though findings of two new battlefield surveys are similar in several ways to the last ones taken in 2007, they come at a time of intense scrutiny on Afghanistan as President Barack Obama struggles to come up with a new war strategy and planned troop buildup. There is also perhaps equal new attention focused on the mental health of the force since a shooting rampage at Fort Hood last week in which an Army psychiatrist is charged.
Both surveys showed that soldiers on their third or fourth tours of duty had lower morale and more mental health problems than those with fewer deployments and an ever-increasing number of troops who are having problems with their marriages.
Depression, anxietyThe new survey on Afghanistan found instances of depression, anxiety and other psychological problems are about the same as they were in 2007. But it also said there is a shortage of mental health workers to help soldiers who need it, partly because of the buildup Obama already started this year with the dispatch of more than 20,000 extra troops.

OBAMA NOT SATISFIELD WITH AFGHANISTAN OPTIONS: CONCERNED OVER TIMELINES
Administration official: Obama not satisfied with Afghan war options, concerned over timelines
http://tinyurl.com/yd2x2jf
President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

PATRIOT GUARD MOTORCYCLE CLUB HONORS FALLEN WITH "THE LAST RIDE"
During the memorial ceremony at Ft. Hood, Texas Tuesday, a group of morons stood outside of a church near the entrance to the Army post and held up signs saying they were happy that U.S. soldiers had been killed.
Their stupid demonstration didn't last long because members of the Patriot Guard motorcycle club showed up and within seconds the demonstrators ran like scared rabbits to their vans and took off.
In this video you see the Patriot Guard attending a memorial called "The Last Ride" for a fallen U.S. soldier.
We felt it was important to show what the Patriot Guard does for our fallen heroes on Veterans Day.
