I haven’t written about that quagmire called Afghanistan lately, but there’s been little need.
Things are as bad (or possibly worse) than they’ve ever been.
Consider this:
- Insider attacks are now the biggest killer of NATO Troops.
- We’ve got a top Marine General who says, “I don’t know why they hate us, and I don’t care.”
- And we now know that the places we sent extra troops as part of the 30,000-troop surge are no better than they were before the extra troops arrived.
My view remains the same: Let’s get out of Afghanistan, like now.

P.S. Please accept the greatest gift I can give.
P.P.S. Thanks to all who continue to make my novels a success. Little Man, and the Dixon County War has gone as high as No. 16 on the Amazon UK Paid List (see here and here), and Sold Out has already gone as high as No. 81 on the Amazon Paid List for the category of War (see here and here). Learn more about both books here.
Like yesterday!

Or even two days ago. And how about a General making such stupid remarks? Do they not even teach the history of warfare anymore?
I seem to remember something about “knowing your enemy…”
