The marine who resigned over Afghanistan

Former Marine captain and Iraq war veteran Michael Hoh took a job in the foreign service as a diplomat serving in Afghanistan. He resigned, saying that we don’t really know what we are doing there and that the sacrifices are not worth it. Here is the news story. But now read this copy, which our own FWS has found a link to, of his actual letter. The details and the force of his statement come out more powerfully. He strikes me as a man of high professionalism and integrity. He makes good points, though I still fear what a Taliban victory over the United States of America would do for the jihadist revival.
