How Things Are Going In Afghanistan

This is a link to a three page letter written on January 25, 2011, by General Petraeus to the troops.  The letter was posted on Michael Yon‘s website. 

There are a few things in the letter that I find encouraging:

“The implementation of our stategy in 2010 was helped considerably by the deployment of additional ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) forces, the growth of the Afghan Army and Police, an increase in the number of our civilian partners, and the associated funding to enable it all.  Indeed, together with the establishment of additional organizations and refinements of our stategy, the additional resources enabled us this past fall to get the “inputs” right in Afghanistan for the first time”

“…In sum, 2010 was a year of significant, hard-fought accomplishments.  The year ahead is likely to be a tough one, too.  Again, though, I am confident that the combined efforts of ISAF and Afghan forces will enable further important progress in 2011.”

There are two things to note here.  Thank you to all our military troops and their families (who also serve), and thank you to General Petraeus for the job he is doing.
