I hope the US powers that be make it very clear that if you attack our soldiers in retaliation you will be met with deadly force.
War is hell and cruel and not totally fair.....let's just leave and let them have their Taliban country back.
I do agree, we don't have to tolerate any form of retaliation against any of our other troops. They didn't do it. And the Afghans need to step up and make sure their people don't do it either. To do so, if the Afghans allow it in retalation, I say, and totally agree: Do a 100% pullout and on the way out leave a note that says "We came to try to give you back your life. We're sorry this happened, but if you bite the hand that feeds you, the hands goes away and the feeding does to. Good luck, and have a nice day".
