Who's flag is still flying? Ours. Who has government control? Our side.
Who has the popular sup****t of the people? The folks protecting them or 
the guys who blew them up while waiting in line for a job. Who has 
cobtrol of the airspace & sealanes? We do? Who has won every major 
engagement? We have. Who has lost more of there command structure? The 
bad guys. Who has established constiutions, Governments,working secuirty 
forces, expanded freedom for women, and are actively fixing the 
infastructure?????? THAT WOULD BE US!!!!


Those is factual benchmarks of military victory, not a defeat. Till your 
  guys take ground, hold governmental power, defeat in battle operating 
forces they have not won Jack ****! One car bomb does not put you back 
in power in Kabul or sends Nato away.
