they were not sent becasuse they cant keep their mouths shut, they would have talked about who we were actually killing over there. the fighting force was kept to elite forces like seal teams and airborn rangers, delta force, guys that wont blab about mowing down people.
Where's the proof? How many times can I say it? Where's the proof? Our special forces were deployed to Afghanistan, because they are more suited to the job over there! Afghanistan is a much more rural and mountanous country, so its not as suited for the regualar army. You are naive if you think that Osama would have been captured if the regular army was there. Osama bin Laden has a massive terrorist network supproting him, and a huge country to hide in. These accusations that our troops are wantonly killing civilians are competely unbased, ignorant, and downright unpatriotic. Being a soldier is a honest job and a great service and you tarnish it by making these crazy claims.

so in this regard no violence didnt solve a damn thing, except maybe ditch a few enemies for Osama.
Umm, I think the bounty for Osama is at about $50,000,000, which is enough for any Afghan to live like a king. Your ignorance is quite franky astounding. You thin that the US is some kind of omnipitent being? Our intellegence is flawed, as you have said, so how would we instinctively know where he is? I'd say Osama is probably smarter than Saddam, which is why he hasn't been captured yet.
