Well, I think I can speak for most people here when I say we’re glad to have seen it and heard it. I’ve said before also that people here are pretty much interested in winning, not quitting, so we’ve been waiting to get the word officially.
It is also true that the DoD has been leaning forward– I hope everyone saw this article on the next wave of Marines to land in Afghanistan. (We heard about this straight from the Commandant.) Rough work ahead, but I can’t think of any force better able to do what has to be done.
So there it is. Time to get on with it… because the one thing we ain’t got it is time.
