Desecrating bodies was not enough for US Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Some Qurans had to be burned at Bagram Air Base too, just to make sure the Afghans know the contempt Americans have for the culture they invaded. Of course NATO officials claim the incident was a mistake, but given the volatility of the occupied, they could say little else. Now that Osama Bin Laden has been killed, there is nothing more to accomplish militarily in Afghanistan. The longer our forces stay,
the worse the security situation will become and the more support the Taliban will receive. Clearly our troops have had enough of Afghanistan after ten years of near fruitless battle. How long will it take for our politicians to get the message?
