Hearts and minds - 75% of Afghans fear US troops. Total failure. December 15, 2013 6:29 pm bowser

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/04/21755468-a-country-gripped-by-fear-survey-finds-majority-of-afghans-afraid-of-us-troops-voting?lite

“KABUL, Afghanistan – More than three out of four Afghans live in fear of the U.S. troops sent to liberate their country from the Taliban, according to a survey released Thursday.”

The military under the civilian leadership of both parties has so failed in it’s mission as to be a total national disgrace.  And gives lie to the American propaganda regarding liberation.

Truly a tragedy given the opportunity which was wasted.
