It was always my opinion that we would ultimately be required to spill American blood in order to win and more importantly to win respect. The enemy must understand that an American soldier is coming to personally snuff them out and that Allah himself cannot save him. Only then will they start to think twice before attacking us on our own soil.

Until now we have mainly used Afghans. That has saved lives but the enemy still believes that the American military will cut and run at the first sign of casualties.

We have been betrayed and sometimes hoodwinked by some of our Afghan pals. We must finish it ourself.
