and throwing them in waves against the mountains of Afghanistan is irresponsible.

It comes down to a matter of strategy. Basically what I'm saying is, if you're going to do it at all, then make damm sure you do it right in the first place. That's the only way to ensure you are not wasting your troops lives in the long run. So instead of insufficient waves being wasted for years perhaps a tidal wave at the very beginning was what was needed. Unfortunately for purely domestic political considerations that didn't happen. And the whole sorry mess continues.
