Aggravating the problem is the fact that both sides (or how many sides there may be) in Afghanistan, though they might fight each other bitterly, still see the US (and all infidels) as the greater enemy, to be used, when possible, to their advantage.

It's not even that, it's just like switching from bullseye targets to  silhouettes.
After feuding for 500 years with the clan across the valley, you're ready for a change.
Besides, the clan across the valley will still be your fall back when you run out of strangers.

Afghanistan, always was, is and will be a sh**hole, backwards tribal stoneage country.

Time to get the hell out of there, and leave pictures of B-52's and mushroom clouds for the next time...I would even detonate a "small" nuke as a farewell gesture...

Or at least a six pack of MOAB's...

Very Sorry philw for the loss of the Australian Troops trying to make a difference over there.





Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Bingo!!!!
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

they laid to rest Captain Bryce Duffy today one of the Diggers killed the other week from that attack, today being remembrance day

he was only 26 and was just accepted in to the SAS as well
may they all rest in peace



I have not heard any reports  has the USMC had any similar problems,   the word is from a few serving here is they don't trust and can not trust them  and they have no idea of safe handling of firearms or any idea at all really.

The real fine points....

They will aid the clan across the valley to whack the strangers that are fighting with the their clan on this side of the valley and assist them in avoiding the strangers fire.

Even if you, the stranger, are fighting for them against the clan on the other side of the valley, they see you as the greater enemy to be used to gain a few points on the team across the way......expendable resources...

Spot on.

As far as I am concerned their is no value to be gained from their land, their society nor their culture.
Wipe the festering shit hole from the world maps and leave it smouldering and uninhabital, small tactical nukes were designed for a reason wasnt they?

There nothing worth blowing up, you could bomb them back to the stone age with 2 M-80's and a roman candle.
Islam in general is why they invented Bio weapons.

Sad thing is they used to be a thriving nation waaay back in the day. They were know as Bactria, the most extended point of Hellenistic civilization, and a cross roads on the spice routes with Hindu culture during the BC and Chinese Buddist culture after that. Then the warlords took over and things spiraled downhill, only getting worse when Islam showed up. The country is full of old Greek style buildings and lots of buried gold and artifacts. They tend to blow them up as being un-islamic, just like those giant Buddhist statues. Sad really, but not our problem.
