The head is the most important to cover, the intial advice was correct, 40% PLUS of heat escapes your body through the head. You look at Soldiers on exercises in snow countries (Winter Warfare Training), their heads are always covered.
If we did pull out and for one WISHED we could, but I know we can't until the task is finished, the Taliban would once again, control north pakistan, open schools again for the training of suicide bombers and viola, we are back to square one.
Then you get this angle:
"I don't think NATO has done much good," said Siyal Khan Farahi, a 39-year-old contractor in Kandahar in the south, where the Taliban insurgency was born. "They are spending millions of dollars over here but I don't see many signs of prosperity or anything that can change the people's standard of life."
"America calls itself a superpower, but they can't control these insurgents so they should leave this place."
The problem then is they would be crying out for help again when the Taliban grow back to its normal self and strength.
Then there is this report:
Fewer than one in 10 Afghans are aware of the 9/11 attacks and their precipitation of the war in Afghanistan, says a study from an international think tank.
A report from the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) shows that 92 percent of those surveyed had never heard of the coordinated multiple attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001. It also shows that four in 10 Afghans believe the US is on their soil in order to “destroy Islam or occupy Afghanistan.”
To be sure, the survey can’t claim to be definitive: It only canvassed men, and relied primarily on respondents from Helmand and Kandahar, the two most war-torn provinces in the country. But the results nonetheless show that Western forces fighting insurgents in Afghanistan have largely failed to connect with the local population.
“We need to explain to the Afghan people why we are here, and both show and convince them that their future is better with us than with the Taliban,” ICOS lead field researcher Norine MacDonald said in a statement.
Why should I read about it..I am watching it LIVE on the TV.
No, maybe luck isn't on our sid anymore, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, win some, lose some...that's life.
Not so sure what you mean about "but please accept that there are many things which you have to say “YOU HAD” and trust me that things are changing very fast"
Well, where do you think football is payed more..in the west or in the east? Of course there is more technology and infrastructure in the west than there is in the east, we've been playing the game for over 100 years.
I cannot fathom out why men come on here, an adult dating site where the mass majority of females are, dare I say, 25+ and he is trying to find one of that age, on here, that is a virgin.
Sorry, I cannot think he will ever find one on a dating site, he'd be better off on a religious site, some christian site.
But it could be very important for people will see the disparities and lack of your world knowledge and think....
"Mmmmmm, the founder of the Tea Party doesn't know much about the world and cannot even provide proper evidence to back up his claims & won't accept evidence shown to him...I think I will abstain from joining this tinpot lot, especially when he publishes a chinese video from Sesame Street"
I would love your party to run America..NOT!! If you honestly believe the Europe is part of Asia, you are ...well..words fail me! No wonder you lot pay Ms Palin $100,000 to attend your national gathering! No wonder she is part of your lot..she's not the brighest star!
Again, you offer NO proof of your claim that history books state 5 continents. So far, you have provided a YouTube showing someones trip around the world of 17 countries (I am sure that there are more) and 5 continents...maybe those 17 countries were in those 5 continents and he didn't visit the the other 2? Then your lastest proof is a GRAFFITI book?

RE: Afghanistan....Factual.
I think you will find that the US Army and her Allies - The Coalition - know exactly what they are doing and their purpose for being there.
