thanks dude of destiny, and a BIG welcome home. we are glad you are safe and hopefully sound. thank you for your unselfish, perilous service to our nation. NO, we already know it is not going well in Afghanistan. Obama has not sugar coated what is going on there, and he is working at accelerating the withdrawal with Leon Panetta , our soon-to-be sec. of defense ( and i am proud to say, MY former congressman in central CA).

Desolate, rugged country. Alexander the Great had the right idea. He married a tribal chief's daughter, paid to use the passes into what was India, guaranteed security for his supply lines, and otherwise bypassed the wretched place. No invader since has had better success. One way to Be 'the Great' is to avoid a fight you can't win.

Thanks for your service. Hope your next assignment is consulate duty in Rio.
