This is life in the military under Obama and liberal apologists
(WSJ) American soldiers should brace for a “social-cultural shock” when meeting Afghan soldiers and avoid potentially fatal confrontations by steering clear of subjects including women’s rights, religion and Taliban misdeeds, according to a controversial draft of a military handbook being prepared for troops heading to the region.
The proposed Army handbook suggests that Western ignorance of Afghan culture, not Taliban infiltration, has helped drive the recent spike in deadly attacks by Afghan soldiers against the coalition forces.
“Many of the confrontations occur because of [coalition] ignorance of, or lack of empathy for, Muslim and/or Afghan cultural norms, resulting in a violent reaction from the [Afghan security force] member,” according to the draft handbook prepared by Army researchers.
The 75-page manual, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, is part of a continuing effort by the U.S. military to combat a rise in attacks by Afghan security forces aimed at coalition troops.
A perfect storm of leftism: excusing pedophilia, excusing mistreatment of women, bowing to Islamists, and blaming America. Fortunately, the top military commander in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, won’t endorse the manual, won’t write a forward for it, and outright disapproves of it. Expect him to be quietly replaced within a few months.
I have a quick way to solve all this. Have our patrols, walk up to each and every male Afghani. ASk the man if he believes women should be hit for .. (and then list any thing you can think of from showing face, to not wearing bags, to voting, to driving, to choosing who to marry). If the answer is anywhere close to YES, then shoot them. Move on to the next male.
Their violent belief system will quickly change.
We lost Iraq and Afghanistan once we backed off and didn’t play any role in the formation of their new governments. We went to fight for freedom and then allowed them to inact constitutions that places certain people in minority statuses. We should have written most of it for them in a fashion similar to ours.
I have a solution too. Mine is send Gummie over there since he knows what to do better tahn the US Army. Go Gummie !! Go!! Gummie the problem is taht just writing laws isn’t effective you have to enforce them. Afghanistan has NEVER had a central government strong enough to enforce them. I know I was there. And as for just murdering people, sorry about that Americans do not do that.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN. cracking jokes. This was really good. Pretending that you were there. IF in fact you were over there fighting on our side, then you would in fact have known that we were over there to depose and unseat the ruling party – The Taliban. A heavy-fisted iron-handed theocracy that imposed its will upon everyone and everything. Including innocent ancient rock statues.
You’re right. I forgot. Only illegal dog walkers fill our prisons.
