I seem to get the impression that the Afghan Security Forces (ASF) can sometimes get confused as to who the enemy is. They mistakenly shoot and kill American soldiers all the time.
Over 57 American dead bodies since the Pentagon started counting. Over 20+ NATO soldiers killed since they were keeping count. (link)

During the 4th of July celebration 5 US soldiers were shot and wounded not by insurgents or terrorists, but by an ASF soldier.

Afghanistan: I am starting to think you're being ungrateful to us. After ALL:

We have U.S. soldiers grow and protect YOUR OPIUM, even while we arrest American citizens for it here.

We set up military bases to protect YOUR borders even while we neglect our own.

We spend BILLIONS building YOU schools, roads, hospitals, bridges, etc... while our infrastructure here crumbles.

We hire and train YOUR police officers (ASF) while laying off cops/cutting benefits for them back home.

We enforce the Rule of Law & the Afghan Constitution even while we completely IGNORE ours.

We have even cut veterans budgets here, just to increase YOUR foreign aid allotment.

So what's the problem 'Stan? Are you confused or just ungrateful? Why blow up the embassy twice? We already sent Hillary Clinton (link) to give you more taxpayer money, so what's up with the attitude?

Think you know the answer. Then vote now, comment, reply, share and RAVE!!!

How many Ten of Thousands of Afghan civilians have US Forces killed since the beginning of the War ? NONE of the 9/11 hijackers were Afghans. President Bush went into Afghanistan so a few of his rich buddies could make some money on Defense Contracts. We have destroyed their country and killed their people. What do you expect ? Tea and Roses ? lol

They're Confused

I'm sure communication is not ideal. Imagine several different leaders of each side, trying to prove they and their forces are smartest, or strongest. I wonder how well they are working together?

Why do you believe they're "confused" and not deliberate?

Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I'm still leaning towards ungrateful with some underlying resentment.

The Americans are confused. They think they are protecting the poppies but they are really protecting the pipeline for big oil.

Actually they are really really stupid, or confused. Probably the first.

I guess I should have said they're confused. They read the Declaration of Independence and wonder what happened to that America.

They are neither confused nor ungrateful; they are merely devout Muslims trying to follow their understanding of the Qur'an. Furthermore, all that malarkey you cite, about the United States' altruistic reasons for being in Afghanistan, leads me to believe the one who may be the most confused is the person who asked this question.

One ASF soldier goes nuts and thats reason to question the whole army?.Well so much for Major Nidal Hasan and the US soldier who shot dead 16 Afghan civilians, nine of them children in southern Afghanistan in March this year and the US Army...if using the same rule to judge.

And as common sense implies and refers to the intelligence and intuition of the majority,-the vanity and delusions of Bigots,Xenophobe's,Homophobes or/and Racists imagining their opinions have any reasonable substance or value is not surprising.

I don't care about your opinions. You can go to Afghanistan and kiss the Taliban-ass if you you feel so strongly that you can trust them.

P.S.The Taliban are also the enemies of Afghanistan and have been murdering Afghanistan civilians and killing members of the Afghan Security Force since years.

reply
ghostrider to Sir Bud 2012/08/05 03:51:48

True enough, BUT!!! it is the responsibility (and job) of the ASF and the whole of the Afghan government to get a handle on the Taliban, NOT the U.S.

Absolutely so.

I am for that too and to use the money saved for Hospitals and education etc and to strengthen defense at home against foriegn terrorism(Land,Sea and Air)and threat.But therefore that is why we need the UN made of VOLUNTEERS to prevent all the"Adolf Hitlers"of the world from committing crimes against civilians and for humanitarian goals and purposes.

The UN concept is a good one ... unfortunately, the UN does not have any funds of its own nor any taxing authority and I doubt many countries would be willing to fund such a force ... it's more egotistical to 'show the flag' and sell the public on the continued need for (its own) defense (industry) spending.

Guys, this isn't complicated. Just like we would when invaded by another country, Afghans fight for THEMSELVES. If that means fighting alongside us, then they'll fight alongside us. If that means shooting us in the back, then they'll shoot us in the back. In this respect Afghans are no different than us.

We had a right to attack Assghanistan but we should have been out of that cesspool a long time ago... This over meddling nation building crap is nothing but a crony-cap, penny wise, pound foolish, corporate welfare program that pacifies the paranoid 'moralist" at home while buying us ten new enemies for every half-ass "ally".

But that's OK, let's just keep mowing other peoples grass, supporting the local thug mobsters-- that we happen to favor --and then wondering why the people would hate us so much for "being good saintly Christians "HELPING" the poor, ignorant, ungrateful Muslim savages."
