POPSMore Troops Needed As much as I hate see more troops going in its not safe for our troops at the present level, Obama needs to set his goals and do what it takes to achieve them, go forward or get out!

POPSAfghanistan: Deja Vu As a country we seem to be going down a path that led to a disaster many years ago. Afghanistan is not Vietnam, Vietnam was a country that had a strong foundation, in fact the NVM were one of the best trained military army's in the world, they had foiled attacks form china and japan and sent the French home. Afghanistan is made up of many tribal units that have no love for each other but have a common enemy in the USA, It seems an impossible war to win and many soldiers will die in the meantime, what would happen in the world if we pulled out of Afghanistan, probably nothing, I believe its more about disgrace at this point or possibly their opium crops, there is no other value there that I can see. The ironic part is that at one time we were their friend and helped them defeat the soviets by giving them weapons and training, then we turned our backs on them once the threat was gone.

POPSYikes! Snakes! Why did it have to be Snakes? These damn things sacred the hell out of me the first month I was there, after that I just learned to stay out of their way if possible, My dog saved my life! This is part of the result of spraying agent orange all over everything, we will pay for many years to come.

POPSNemo - The Hero of the day Dec 4th, 1966 Many people don't know about Nemo or what he did,there are many more dogs out there that have given their life for this country, there is a movement for a war dog memorial in Washington,DC but the president won't give up any land. Maybe the next one will, I would like to see it somewhere down by the wall since over 4000 dogs were lost in the Vietnam war alone.
