Ithink that we are doing a good thing i think that the death toll for soilders is low so we are helping alot and turning them into a flourishing country
so you think we should fly helicopters out to every single house, drop paratroopers on it, and kill anyone who has a gun? We'd need tens of millions of soldiers and over a million choppers to do that.
We have very few vehicles that can actually withstand a sophisticated IED and keep going, perhaps a few hundred. our military is a lot less powerful than most people believe.
