There was no parade.

I must admit that I called it a parade also.
I am too late to edit my post....

It was a LGBT event.

This is just what is needed to win the hearts and minds in a predominantly Muslim country! Way to go DOD! Shear genius!

Well, if they really wanted to win the hearts and minds in a predominantly Muslim country, all the troops should convert to Islam.

It had the largest percieved base we could locate that the faction who supposedly attacked us originated from based on a guy we trained who was making too much noise.

Does this mean we can hold a "Warrior Hard" group in a national gay parade to celebrate how well we kill people as a skill?
Our soldiers are the best on the planet bar none we enjoy 10 to 1 odds in attrition .It is our history, creed and service.
So surely it will be welcomed with open arms yes?
Diversity for the goons right?
What happens on a battlefield should never be screwed up with politics and popular culture.ANY of this can bring heat on our troops,how many Gays want to express themselves over the bodies of our military? My guess is very few. Uber progs don't have anything resembling situational awareness much less know how to be polite when it comes to their "cause"
Killing is ugly it should be kept only where it MUST be done.

Ya seriously .. this is so ridiculous .. sometimes I wonder what the hell Americans are thinking ..
Of all the things they could have done in that country .. a gay/lesbo/tranny parade???

Can't find the words to describe how stupid they are for doing this ...
I'm surprised the taliban didn't take these bone heads out ..
It's not enough that we screwed up everything and murdered so many innocents ...now this ..???

Seriously .. where are the drones when you need them ..!
These bone heads are actually making all of us as a whole bigger targets of terrorism by pulling this crap over there .. they're guilty of inciting terrorism .. send in the drones .. and take them out !

You came in on the ass end of the discussion,

Poor word choice there

We were talking about the Democratic party here in the states. Not the military being a democracy.

And?

The abject failure of politics is why there are troops in Afghanistan in the first place It has no place there. There are only two kinds of people in a war Zone:

The living, and those who are about to die there is no room for anything else.
