    Russia and China were both relatively stable, and rational actors. Pakistan is neither.

    At the time that is not how it was pitched to us. I expected Khrushchev to knock at my door any day.

    RIP Lance Corporal Benjamin Schmidt, a San Antonio-raised Marine who was shot in the head and died this week. His family, including his father who is a Spurs team physician, is headed to Dover AFB to receive the body.
    Suspect not identified and still at large.
    Rest of his unit was unscathed in the incident, which officials think involved a sniper.

    Time to come home for EVERYONE.
    This shit needs to be over with.

    The deciding factor here is that Pakistan has nukes. And who controls 'em, exactly? Gut says the ISI, which means we're probably fucked any way we handle it.

    We also will never be able to invade Pakistan, the population there is much larger than Afghanistan and the terrain as unforgiving.

    I think the option Biden championed at the beginning of the Obama adminsitration makes sense. Keep a couple bases. Blow something up as needed like an Al Queda camp. But that's it.
