  • not surprised in regards to the ROEs in that country. fight a battle with both hands tied while blindfolded.

    i wonder if they could just drop bunker busters on each mountain top to change the terrain. that could help deny enemy avenues of approach and key terrain. then again, that's only if the US military were allowed to use their full arsenal, but that's not happening anytime soon.

  • Respect? Yes. Fear? No.
    Talibans are a group of "Nutty Extremists" who fight with no regulations. Those are the advantage they have over us. Other than that they are toast.

  • I can understand their frustration with the rules. As I watched I just thought to myself that I just want them to deal with it, do what they have to do, and come home safe.

    Our guys are doing an incredible job out there under very difficult circumstances, and I'm proud of them.

    Regulation! That is the key word. We fought with our hands tight behind our backs.
    It is easy for you to call our troops pathetic from your comfortable couch. You probably won't last a day out there in the theater.

  • The taliban consist of nothing more than a bunch of monkeys, apes, savages, knuckle dragging goat humpers. They deserve no fear and zero respect. They advocate that thier wives be beaten and cover thier faces. They mercy kill thier daughters, slice the clitoris's off thier teenage girls, behead, stone, and throw acid into the faces of anyone that disagrees with thier primative way of thinking. Monkeys that's all...nothing more, nothing less. May god bless our troops and allow for maximum mayhem in monkey land.

    4:35 mark says it all.





    ?
    Why didn't they interview some LIB soldiers,,...

    oh wait, my bad

    never mind.
    They only think of themselves and what others should do to make life easier for them.


    .
    I would like to see all the laid off progressives in the US go to Afghanistan and teach them how to love BHO and the progressive agenda.

    Join the PEACE corps and show the blue dog chickenhawks how its done


    lol

    LIBS scream "You can't fight a guerilla war and win"

    then they turn around and say

    "Using drones to target "fighters" is weak."

    Sorry,
    LIBS refuse to arm wrestle the reality of the situation that those GI's have to play by.


    Push em into the desert,
    light them up with FLIR

    cook em

  • Quoted comment by ml99vette: this is a good post, nice to see their opinions of the taliban and what they are doing there.

    these are the actual GI's, not some Michael Moore winter soldier actors playing up to the left.


    Good luck to them.

  • This pretty much sums up why the Afghan war is pointless. If the Russians and the British couldn't get control of the country, there's no way America will.

  • US has the capability to take out Taliban hit and runners' by demolishing the entire mountain at a moments notice. but their not there to destroy their country....Just the Taliban. with out rules of engagement. the Taliban would be experiencing a living nightmare.

    read my first statement. here i will summarize it: the US is not using its first arsenal, taleban and al qaeda were thoroughly embarrassed when spec ops on horseback robbed them ho friends of yours of their lives. a complete collapse and retreat in one month of operations, plus the loss of control over a miniscule amount of spec ops power on horseback.

    if the US unleashed its full arsenal, afghanistan would be a barren wasteland, but I thank God we do not stoop to that level. We don't need another Hiroshima or Nagasaki on our hands.

    Thanks for the history of the vid. I am suspecting with the hemland operation underway, some GI's might be able to leak something in a few days,maybe in a week or so.
    If they are not busy that is
