Regarding the article entitled, “Top U.S. Commander Sees Progress in Afghanistan” they quote General Stanley A. McChrystal, commander of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan saying, “that we will make real progress in 2010” and that, “if they want to fight, then obviously that will have to be the outcome”. What makes me nervous about this article and the quotations included in it is that there is not proposed alternative to the apparently inevitable loss of lives. If fighting will “obviously” be the outcome than the loss of lives is also obvious and it is disturbing the commanding officer of our men and women overseas is willing to admit to the American public that lives will be risked and possibly lost without any possible alternative. It seems to me that the United States military is just giving in to the insurgent forces and giving them just what they want, American lives.
