If one is not DETERMINED to be victorious, if your are thinking about what is ‘proportional’, or ‘just’, stay out and ignore. You will either be making matters worse, or creating enemies for no reason.

The ongoing engagement in Afghanistan is designed to wear down the US armed forces and destroy their morale. Pointless deployment and training assignments, death-trap rules of engagement, no end-in-sight exit-strategy, and the continual escalation of PC harassments are purposefully orchestrated to ruin the greatest military in history.
Fighting flag officers are cashiered in favor of butt kissing toadies. Promising junior officers leave in despair. Special forces operators come stateside to be picked up by ATF and big city SWAT teams and repurposed for the coming assault on those American citizens that just don't want to get with the new order.
Remember also that this isn't an Obama administration innovation. Bush I started the war on drugs and Bush II inaugurated the war on terror. Middle America went along for their own "safety and protection." We given away a hell of a lot of our birthright in this progression.
