"Hearts and Minds" is the only way to win the war against terrorism. America needs to learn that. That is why the SAS was very effective in most of its campaigns.
I don't think there is an effective hearts and mind campaign going on. And if there is, the military campaign in Afghanistan is only counteractive.
Putting National guard troops in the airport is the dumbest idea anyone came up with. AEROPLANES get hijacked not airports. So they should be put on aircraft.
