Hey it's an Obamination. Gots to be PC. That's what's most important. Seriously though,this is just plain sad & demoralizing. Who's running our Military?

no, this does not bother me. I had a pretty varied service career and spent some time in several disparate countries, we always did what the natives considered customary or freindly, the closer to them you had to be, the more so we adjusted. When in Rome.

well, we're not supposed to be at war *with* the Iraqi people. we're supposed to be at war *for* them, so probably doing things that aren't appropriate wouldn't be very helpful to our cause...
no matter what that cause is.

We are occupying their country. We aren't at war. The war was over long ago. It is now an occupation. It only makes sense to avoid antagonizing the populace.
We should have just gotten the hell out of there years ago. Saddam's gone, here is your country, enjoy.
Yes, that picture of soldiers carrying their weapons without proper headgear is disturbing if they are on patrol or in any dangerous postion. Do they allow women to go on dangerous patrols? Say, lets bring'um home (and leave a note for the Afghanis that if they ever allow a group like al Queda threaten us from their soil, we'll be back).

So do you believe you know better than Gates, Bush, Obama and field generals as it pertains to the situation in A-stan?
Wow...you sure as hell put a lot of credence in the information the media feeds you.
Wrong war, my bad.
Same reasoning.
Once Karzai was installed, the Taliban was his problem. We gave up on Osama long ago. We shouldn't be there.

I don't have a vested interest in keeping it going. All it does is cost me tax dollars. There is no political or monetary gain in it for me.

Yea does The One really need another Vacation? It's kind of important to solve this Budget problem no? Maybe he could put his Vacation off and help Boehner & Ryan save our nation's future generations? Just a thought anyway. I have to say i'm very impressed with Paul Ryan & John Boehner's leadership on this issue. Obviously this President and the Democrats have been no help at all. We have to address our massive Debt problem. It's the right thing to do. Our future generations are counting on us to do the right thing. Ignoring this problem will not make it go away. I haven't given the Republicans many compliments in recent years but this time i have to give them Kudos for being brave on this issue. So go ahead and enjoy your Vacation Mr. President. We'll save our Country without you.

When you patch up a dike that sprung a leak, you dont simply walk away.
You do all you can to prevent other leaks from happening.

Not even comparable. We are occupiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Ever been a citizen in an occupied country? My parents came from an occupied country. It is horrendous.
Personally, I'd like to know where these women were. Quite obviously, you can wear a scarf under a helmet and a helmet certainly covers the head in the most modest of ways.
Are these guys just appeasing the population?
I'd like a little more context for the photo before I start hurling accusations.
