True.
When a story likes this get leaked there are howls of derision from some of the anti-war crowd, I'm anti-war too, but I know that the taliban are vile scumbags, not some noble 'freedom fighters' defending their homeland. And that this story is nothing compared to how the situation actually is there.
.
The Taliban are not vile scumbags or President Regan would not have given them all those stinger missiles. They were proud allies, and calling them names does not change them. They are the resistance, historically a group that deserves respect for defending their homeland against invaders. Not respecting your enemy is a very big mistake.

Allow me to educate you on the fact that the USA is not in Afghanistan to help the people, it is about getting the natural resources in the whole area.

Here is a perfect example of pure unadulterated ignorance(either that or a trollus maximus).
What complete and utter crap. You cannot be serious?

Let me educate you on the fact that everybody knows that, smart guy.
My point is this(maybe reading the earlier posts might help) the taliban are thugs, no more no less. You very obviously know jack about what actually goes on over there.
This thread is about the pictures of US and ANA troops posing with the remains of a suicide bomber. And opinions about how combat troops conduct themselves in a combat zone.
My main point to you is this: your romantic idea of the taliban being freedom fighters is childish and naive, it shows that, as with many others on here, you don't actually know what you're talking about.
So, go and learn or STFU.

You are just expressing an opinion you have formed. I personally have dealt with Taliban guys, and yes, they were called Freedom Fighters by most Americans at the time. They may have been the most ignorant people I have ever met, but I still respect them. I hope I can open your eyes to the absurdity of trying to make a villain out of every person under a certain flag. So they killed someone you know, me too.This does not make them the evil ones. Maybe we should just leave them alone.
