"The uptick in attacks by Afghan security forces against coalition troops has hit home, with all troops at NATO headquarters and all bases across Afghanistan now ordered to carry loaded weapons around the clock, CNN learned Friday." ...
"The order comes as coalition forces adopt and study measures aimed at thwarting such attacks."
"In Afghan combat situations, all troops are armed. But at other locations, only base security forces had been regularly armed. Those troops have been called into action when insurgents have launched attacks on the base."
"Now, anyone who goes to the base headquarters would see that all troops, regardless of their tasks, carry weapons with a magazine of ammunition attached, a U.S. official confirmed." ...

In 2008 Obama promised more dead Afghans if he were pres so I decided that we didn't need any Obama in the White House. Anyway, while I don't think the government of the USA has any business traipsing around Afghanistan killing people, I have been amazed at the.. what... girly way they go about it? The politically correct liberal assuaging policies the ARMED FORCES keep to? Look, it's the Army (etc.). You think you are waging a war. With soldiers and stuff. Do it right if you are going to commit to it. Sheesh.
If you think you have to play war delicately then it isn't a war you should be in. I if you think you can't give your soldiers weapons in a war zone then you need to come home and train until you can or buy new soldiers. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
