An American Major General lost his life in Afghanistan yesterday to a shooter in an Afghan uniform; a Brigadier General and 14 others were wounded. The assailant was also eventually killed.
There are many questions to be answered here, such as why a general officer was in an unprotected situation where he could be killed by anybody. But, the real question as far as I am concerned is: Why do you announce to the world that you are going to be removing your troops and then leave them there? Everything I learned about ending an engagement of conflict is that when you decide to get out, you get out and you don't tell anyone in advance you are leaving, or when.
So, now the unthinkable has happened and we've lost a top commander. How do you think Putin or Netanyahu would react, versus how Obama is reacting? Why did he create the conditions whereby this could happen?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
