Taliban Sniper Teams Attack U.S. Troops

Taliban Sniper Teams Attack U.S., Afghan Troops - Afghanistan | Map | War - FOXNews.com

America needs to be ready, ready for casualties and civilian loses. For too long we (we being those confused souls in the USA) have viewed war as something where only the other guy dies. That just isn't true. When you are attempting to sweep a town the safest way to do it is artillery and air power, the most dangerous way is boots on the ground. However, leaders fear that too many casualties of civilians will cause a PR problem, if we wanted to save the lives of our soldiers we would not be overwhelmingly concerned with that. Sniper teams are intense and very hard to remove, just ask the Germans in Stalingrad how annoying and victorious sniper teams can make a force. While I don't wish for civilian loss of life, I want our troops as safe as can be and victory on our side.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
