I have a question for you guys.....especially the ones that are just back and those that are going again.
You are a Unit Commander in Afghanistan.....one of your Squaddies comes up to you and asks the following question of you.
"Sir, I am getting worried about what my mission is here....what is our Mission, our reason for being here, how will I know we have won this War....just what the Hell am I fighting for here....what are we accomplishing by what we do here every day?"
What do you tell him? Don't try to tell me this hasn't cropped up....and is not a valid issue.
If we cannot articulate our Mission, Strategy, and Reason for fighting the War to a Private Soldier.....and do so convincingly....should we be there?
