Who wants Afganistan to blow up?

[IAN 2411]

Shit happens. Yes it does. Shit happens when a Western soldier goes off the rails. When an Afghan murders Western soldiers, then it's an atrocity by fiendish towelheads for whom no retribution would be too severe.
As for your suggestion that people who have never engaged in conflict should refrain from commenting, that's patent nonsense.

Patent nonsense...Is it? I think you MMI you misunderstand me. I was not referring to people in general I was referring to the press. I noticed the other day when the six British soldiers got shot there was hardly anything mentioned. Oh yes the initial press release and the story behind it and now 404 British soldiers have been killed.

Get a story like this that runs the army of any nation down and shows them up to the world, and the press are over it like flies on shit. I don’t know what took place and neither does anyone outside the American Military. The only people that know are the dead, the sergeant, and the military investigators.

The press know damn all except for what a few Afghan people, that were not there while the atrocity was being carried out has told them. Yet the press go into length explaining the grisly details where the round entered the girls head and the colour of her dress. That MMI, is getting the sympathy of the public and a show of the papers disgust at what took place.

Did I want to know that the bullet shot her in the forehead? No. Did I want to know what colour dress the girl was wearing? No. Did I want to see pictures of the inside of the house where this atrocity had taken place? No. It was enough for me to know that it had taken place. The press don’t need to tell me how to be repulsed at the act that was carried out in the house. I do not need to be told by any news paper how to pick up my hand and point a finger because they say so.

If the Guardian or the other news papers carried out as much reporting on the way some of those brave British and American soldiers died, then I might just start reading papers again. Yes it was an atrocity and no you cannot put it right with a plaster. Yes, there will be repercussions so does this mean the troops will come out early? No, they will stay there all the time that Washington and London think they are winning the war.

One more thing MMI shit happens, all over Iraq and Afghanistan not by the allied forces, but by the Iraqis and the Afghans. Is it reported by the press? No, because everyone knows it is taking place and it doesn’t sell news papers.

Anyone can see what this soldier did was wrong, and just because other warriors have gone berserk, doesn't mean he can be exonerated from what appears to be a cold-blooded annihilation of peaceful families who were no threat to anyone.

Yes you are correct and anyone can see that, and no doubt everyone is just as disgusted and repulsed of the atrocity as you and I. “Warriors” what’s up MMI have you forgotten how to write American Soldiers?

As one Afghan has said, if he's fit to serve as a soldier, he's fit to face an open trial.

So this Afghan was a psychiatrist and knew all the details of what took place, and has had the soldier on the couch. The mind boggles at that statement.

So long as the trial is under US military law, I believe it should be held in Afghanistan, and in public.

However if there is damn all wrong with him I do agree with the above, I also believe that the death penalty should be made available.

Be well IAN 2411
