It's hard to be sympathetic to people that are trying to kill you, let alone see them as people.

Now imagine that they've invaded your country, killed your family, and attempted to impose an alien political system on you.

We don't have to imagine. Islamo-fascists have already infiltrated our country, killed thousands of Americans, and wish to impose Sharia law.

Should have thought about that befrore you became a terrorist breeding ground and attacked the US on 9-11..

The fellow whose group orchestrated those attacks is still at large.

Hate to have to state the obvious, but they tried that.

Hell... they are still at work attempting it.

Let me know when they muster up a coalition force capable of occupying the country for a decade.

Like Pearl Harbor
9/11
The underwear bomber
The Fort Hood Murders?

Yeah, that kind of stuff sucks. to bad more people didn't leave us alone, instead of holding decades old grudges.

I don't think any of those incidents resulted in any sort of regime change in the United States. One of the attacks failed before it could be carried out and another was perpetrated by the Empire of Japan nearly 70 years ago... I'd say none of it quite measures up to Afghanistan.

The SPIEGEL story printed on Monday includes new details about a series of murders of innocent Afghans committed by a group of US soldiers. One of the accused, Corporal Jeremy Morlock, 22, confessed to the murders three months ago. Morlock is scheduled to face a general court-martial on Thursday. In total, 12 US soldiers who were allegedly part of what has been described as a "kill team" in Afghanistan are expected to go on trial soon.

The piece in SPIEGEL reconstructs some of the atrocities and includes three previously unknown photographs. Among other things, they show two of the suspected killers posing next to a corpse. The victim in the image is Gul Mudin, an Afghan man killed on Jan. 15, 2010 in the village of La Mohammed Kalay. In total, SPIEGEL and SPIEGEL TV has obtained a significant number of photos and videos.

The suspects are accused of having killed civilians for no reason and then of trying to make it look as though the killings had been acts of self-defense. Some of the accused have said the acts had been tightly scripted.

In one incident, which has been reconstructed based on documents from the investigation, the soldiers themselves detonate a hand grenade in order to make it look like they were the subjects of an attack before killing a man. One of those who allegedly participated, Adam Winfield, 21, described the incident to his father in a chat on the social networking site Facebook. "They made it look like the guy threw a grenade at them and mowed him down," SPIEGEL quotes Winfield as having written in the chat.


In a second incident on Feb. 22, 2010, one of the members of the "kill team" who had been carrying an old Russian Kalashnikov, fired it before pulling out another gun and shooting 22-year-old Afghan Marach Agha. In a third incident on May 2, 2010, it appears that a hand grenade attack was again staged before the shooting and killing of Mullah Allah Dad.

The 12 men are also facing further charges of desecration of corpses, illegal possession of photos of corpses, drug abuse and acts of bodily injury against comrades.

fuck you

There are animals like this in all walks of life. Unfortunately, in this instance the implications of their disgusting and inexcusable behaviour will impact heavily on those in theatre. Life for those serving in Afghanistan, both military and civilian, just got even more dangerous. That some would defend or excuse these animals is beyond comprehension!

[strollingbones]

A man hired to provide security at a military base in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, attacked a group of soldiers over the weekend, killing two and wounding four others, NBC News has learned.

The man, named Shir Ahmad, worked for Tundra Security Group and had been hired March 9 to provide security at Forward Operating Base Frontenac in Argandab Valley. Ten days later, on Saturday, he allegedly walked up to a group of soldiers who were cleaning their weapons before a combat patrol and opened fire with an AK-47.



Three other U.S. soldiers responded to the gunshots and returned fire and killed Ahmad, but not before he shot six soldiers, officials told NBC News.

Two of the soldiers, 29-year-old Cpl. Donald R. Mickler Jr. of Bucyrus, Ohio, and 19-year-old Pfc. Rudy A. Acosta, of Canyon Country, Calif., were killed.

fuck you

It's time for member-countries of NATO who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghanis to seperate in command structure from those members who aren't there for the same reasons.
These are just stories actually having been uncovered, i believe there is a lot of other shit going on in the 'grey-zone'.
Look at Libya, some NATO members have completely departed from a Humanist agenda, all they know is simply 'duke nuke'em'.

I have to agree with you here. To us, 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are major disasters and we use them as our "rallying cry". They were definitely tragedies and acts of war, but people in Afghanistan and Iraq face a much larger scale of assault than we ever have and they do it on a daily basis.

The US has never (and may it never) face an occupying force. If we ever do, I would hope that we would fight with the same heart and conviction that we face in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Well said. I only looked at it from my perspective here packed away relatively safe and sound in the U.S. I had not even considered the danger it placed upon soldiers in country.

Yep.

For the most part, the US military is one of the most humantarian in history. But it's a large miltary. A few bad apples reflect badly on the whole.

The Declaration of Independence is to the contrary is what I am saying:
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that All mean are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Either you believe that in their hearts all people desire to be free or you don't.
If you don't any of our actions around the world are a complete waste of time.
