The quotes below were taken from Ralph Peters‘ article “Blood for nothing” that appeared in the New York Post on October 28, 2009.
Quote 1: “AFGHANISTAN isn’t completely hopeless, just useless.”
Quote 2: “Apart from the curious notion that sending more Infantrymen is the way to win hearts and minds, the hearts and minds of Afghans not only can’t be won, but aren’t worth winning.”
Quote 3: “The generals refuse to recognize that, from the local viewpoint, the Taliban are the patriots. We’re the Redcoats.”
Quote 4: “So our troops hold their fire and die to protect Afghan villagers who back the Taliban and to protect an Afghan government the people despise. How, exactly, does this advance our national security?”
