I never said once that I was okay with it. I've been against both these wars from the very beginning. There's limited media attention because reports on the wars don't bring the same ratings as they used to - all news outlets come strictly to ratings and sales. The public has tragically become numb to the daily reports of soldier deaths. Just like article you posted states, the average American isn't directly affected by the wars because the government refuses to ask to raise taxes in order to pay for it.

In one breath you want them home, in the next you criticize the plan to pull them out. Can't bring the soldiers home without (as in your words) forfeiting.
