    Why the Merkins will never win.

    A US Army unit burnt the bodies of two Taleban fighters they had killed in Afghanistan. Apparently it is the supreme insult to face the bodies to the west and burn them.
    A psy-ops unit broadcast taunts to other Taleban in the area to try and make them attack.
    The whole problem here though, is that everyone around is Muslim. You insult one and you insult them all, friend and foe.
    How can such rank stupidity still be tolerated?

    Sorta makes a mockery of military intelligence doesn't it?
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Its the americans. Superior numbers make up for un-intelligence.

    NZ SAS will give them a wake up though
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The very saying 'military intelligence' is an oxymoron is it not?

    (yeah, yeah, I realise it has a ligitimate use in ordinary parlance, but I couldn't resist...)

    Well, the Taleban did kill the opium poppy industry. (and probably all the growers)
    And they did kick the Soviets out. (My enemies enemy is my friend theory)

    That's kind of odd when the C.I.A were promoting it at one stage?
    >
    Can someone remind me why anyone went in to Afghanistan after 9/11 ? ..the Russians did say it would be a mistake to go there with Infantry after their own 10 year Vietnam.?
    >
    Just incase it is not obvious,this is based on genuine interest,not any kind of bashing.

    Leave the Americans alone, they are trying to do it right this time. third times the charm and all that. theres always going to be afew fools that don't think things through. lets hope the new government has enough support from the people that the americans can start to move to the sidelines more.

    yea .. i mean when i quit spewing at the armchair quarterbacking going on




    you really ARE in the dark about Geo-Politics and Psy-ops tactics arent you Lou..

    (disclaimer: i have nothing at all against you personally, this is my opinion that i will try and back up with facts when and where i can..)


    this goes back to what i have always said that you must play thier game better than they do.. scare the bejesus out of them in any way you can.. it has been a part of warfighting since the beginning.. the Haka is a form of psy-op tactic ( challenge/ intimidation)


    i want to suggest a book for all of you.. eye opening for sure .. its called America's Secret War and if you think we just wandered into this blindly.. read the book...

    ps. anywhere around October 23 is NOT a good time to troll anti-Americanism around me.. i will call you on it


    Rest in Peace brothers
