It is impossible for the United States to practice or fight a counterinsurgency in Afghanistan because we are not the "constituted or recognized government" there.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. ... What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that the people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

- Thomas Jefferson

PS - Contrary to popular culture this IS the reason for the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

From Tuck:

"My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Doctor once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick…I think my dog is a member of Congress!"

If the pay and benefits of those serving in the armed forces in jobs that have no civilian equivalent are part of the budget debate, why isn't the pay and benefits of the President, Senators, US Representatives and their staffs the first thing on the chopping block?  I am tired of the hypocrisy.
