Escalating in Afghanistan

Here's my reaction:

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


From The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Escalating this war is a bad, bad idea.

Of course, you are a veteran and have a vast reservoir of military experience and expertise to draw upon to reach your dire conclusion. Otherwise, you would not be so dogmatic and glib.
