Should President Obama send more troops to Afghanistan?
Should President Obama send more troops to Afghanistan?
NANETTE DEZARN, Huber Heights: “Absolutely. We need our troops over there. My husband’s been in Iraq. I’m in full support of troops doing what they have to do to get the job done.”
RYAN EASON, Dayton: “No. I think we should pull everybody out. But, at the same time, I joined (the military) to go to Iraq, and I plan on going to Iraq.”
CIANDRA DSOUZA, Dayton: “No. He should be bringing home troops. That’s what he said — that within six months of being elected, he would bring the troops home.”
DOUG CHESNEY, Fairborn: “Yes, if we’d get them all over there, get everything cleaned up, and then get back out just as quick as we got there.”
JERRY ARMSTRONG, Xenia: “Yes. We can’t afford to lose there.”

No he said when he got elected he would pull them out not send more over there. Instead of lying he should do what he said!

Keep them there and add more. Get us the heck out of Iraq. I followed the path to Afgan but what was the real reason for Iraq? We will need the troops when we blast Iran. I think that’s the hold up.

Maybe someone can explain. Why are reserves being used in these types of wars? Would it not make more sense to pull more seasonal ones and let the reserves fill their positions?
