Here comes more protests against western forces..
Gee, you think? I wonder why they'd try and find yet another excuse to protest against the US and the rest of us??
I mean how dare they.... they should be thankful for our "Protection" from the Taliban and the peace & stability we brought to their country and their loved ones. :munky2:
Of course there was going to be protests, this nut job just rampaged on innocent people.... it'd be no different here if someone from another country gunned down a pile of people in one of Canada's major cities..... there'd be piles of people on the streets calling for his or her head.
Our troops hand over their area to the US after years of at least "Trying" to not kill innocent people in their homes and treating them like human beings.... and they go and fk it all up just as I expected they would.
I figured eventually one of these guys they bring right over from fighting in Iraq would pull some kind of stunt like this, or a group of them would.... ie: pissing on dead enemies..... and then everything our troops worked for just goes up like a puff of smoke.
Oh, but it was just one guy and you can't brand the whole force because of one guy....
Look back at all of the reported incidences that have occurred since all this crap began over a decade ago and it's not just one guy, or two guys.... it's a crap load of them.... it's bases of soldiers that are all liabilities to everyone around them, and if you ask for the sources, I've got plenty & they're easy to find, so logically there's no point to prove beyond this more recent thread of examples, as well as across the internet and world.
Mass shooting sprees on a regular basis in the US, which are chalked up to isolated incidences & crazy people, Worse things happening in Iraq which get very little coverage outside of the US Government's approval.... but that's the problem right there:
This crap shows up pretty damn quickly and easily in Afghanistan, because many nations have their hands in this mess and many nations have plenty of news reporters and people with cell phones recording and telling everybody what's going on.... and the US Gov / Military doesn't have a monopoly on information or the covering up of said information.
This sort of thing can and most likely will, screw the entire mission and NATO's credibility.... and I bet many in Kandahar who did realize Canadian Troops were there all those years trying to build things and work with the communities..... they will now think of us and our troops as the one's who simply handed us over to the Americans to be slaughtered.... and most likely resent us for it.
And the worst part is that they're just going to see that guy swooped away, put on a show trial and won't believe he's actually dead and will just get more p*ssed off.
If there wasn't a war going on before, it's about to start very soon.
Even though they're humans just like us, trying to live their lives.... there is a different thought process going on, and they're not going to see it like some people in our countries would see it... they're going to take this personal, it's going to escalate, US troops are going to be targeted more, then those troops are going to start pushing back, then 95% of the Afghan population is going to support the Taliban and then sh*t's going to really hit the fan. The Taliban won't need to stay in Pakistan much longer if they keep this crap up.
And if they find this guy mentally fk'd and gets off, you get the same ending.
*Clap clap* Bravo.
But wait, there's more!
If the US tries, convicts and executes this soldier, many of those wing nut mass shooting spree kind of folk in the US, and those religious wing nuts with think he was the 2nd coming of Christ and think the world is going to end, so then they start shooting and blowing things up.
I'm sure someone will think of it as Jesus going on the rampage in the market and then up on the cross he went
(The actual story is a bit deeper, but you get the jist)
Eventually someone gets a hold of the nukes, or someone builds a nuke, or someone smuggles in a nuke, or someone farts nukes....
"Somebody set up us the bomb", some country spooks and launches their nukes, then the other guy shows off the ballz he's got and ejaculates all his nukes onto the planet's face and boob (moon) and then every human on the planet dies.....
.... except for coal miners, deep sea divers, Mountain Folk, Labrador & Newfoundland where the Chrysalids live and Mick Jagger.
Mark my words!
I'll just be sitting here with my popcorn watching it all unfold until you guys ask for my help to fix it.
... Time to go; and when the Afghans start whining and bitching about how the world abandoned them and oh their poor people and poor children, tell them they brought this on themselves when their own people would not accept the help offered.
Really?
How dare they whine and bitch about getting carpet bombed and rolled over the a superior military force, oppressed and occupied, then their buddies come along to help occupy and oppress them with a smile for over a decade +, while telling them all "This" is how you should live your lives, whether you like it or not.... and when the majority of them who never asked for any of this in the first place don't show gratitude for having their villages blown up by Drones, Tanks, APCs, Troops and now crazy troops who treat them like beaten mutts..... rage and riot over the help we're giving them.
How dare they... let's leave, they don't want to play. Ungrateful sons o b*tches the lot of em, huh?
Keeping in mind that reports at the time showed Osama was in Pakistan by the time the US crapped all over Afghanistan and destroyed their homes, families, loved ones and way of life.
How ironic is that?
They're living their normal, everyday lives in their own little world, and suddenly their entire country is bombed and blown to absolute crap... then those people who did that bring in other countries to clean up the mess they made, as well as rebuild everything that was destroyed, only for those guys who blew everything up in the first place to blow it all up again for the hell of it.
YEEE HAAWWWWW *Pow pow* *does a little jig with the guns in thar air*
I think there's only so much anybody can take of that before they bite back.
Interesting how those US Iraq soldiers have the magical ability to bring Iraq wherever they go. Funny that.
BTW.... This was ONE man ... NOT the whole USA.
Gee we've been hearing that a lot over & throughout the years, haven't we?
Keep saying it.. maybe it'll magically come true someday.... if you close your eyes and click your heels three times.
Yeah, it's just one man..... added to the growing pile of "One Man" Men within the US..... and outside of the US now too.
Refresh my memory.... who are the Terrorists in this whole story line again?
I don't see much of a difference anymore.
Then again, I don't think I ever did.
Now thumb me any way you wish, up, down, either way is good.
