Soldiers have no say in who they fight and are politically neautral.
They do their job period.
The same argument could be said of MOBSTERS. That doesn't make what they do right. LOL
If they were tasked to defend you they would do it to their own death.
I agree its wrong. I agree the governments should be bought to account. But if you think that its ok to diss those killed for our freedom.. Our brothers and sisters.. Then you have crossed the line.
That will demand a price.
How have they "killed for our freedom". How has freedom been saved by killing hundreds of thousands of innocent brown people all over the world. Doesn't that just create more people who hate your country? Like millions more? Hmm?
How the frick does what goes on Afghanistan have any effect on YOUR freedom. Is the wool over your eyes that thick?
Brits are fighting a war to benefit the private businesses who WANTED an unwinnable war to start with.
I know you're a smart dude when it comes to military tactics... Riddle me this...
How could the USA possibly plan to win a war in Afghanistan when they knew the logistics of a war 100% in advance, considering that they were literally RUNNING the insurgency intelligence against the Russians.
The Americans know and KNEW (before hand), that any war in Afghanistan was completely unwinnable against any continued resistance. And the resistance has it easy in that country. They knew all this before hand.
And also chew on this one.. How the eff could US / NATO ***EVER*** expect to win a war in Afghanistan, when even RUSSIA couldn't win a war there.. And the rules of engagement in the Russia / Afghan war were a whole different box of animal crackers.
They practically had no rules. They slaughtered whole villiages, and tortured out in the open, while laying literally millions of land mines. If RUSSIA couldn't win their war over 10 years, how the hell can NATO forces EVER expect to win, and with PUSSY-FOOT rules of engagement, comparatively?
The hard to swallow pill is that this war was never planned to be won. Short wars aren't good for business.
Do you REALLY think that after 10 years of running the insurgency, that the US thought they could win a war there? I know your gears are clicking right now.. You know it doesn't sound logical or believable. They KNEW BETTER.
Peace.
