Nice. This is what we are fighting for there? Nice to see our training of the AStan military is showing results.

ETA: As of now not confirmed.

in the last month we have lost several MARSOC and others to green on blue fire "accidentally" In Iraq we have seen engagements with insurgents who turn out to be Iraqi government who "mistook" us insurgents. NEVER TRUST THE LOCALS EVER.

Shhh. Everything is going fine and we're totally not training up, paying the bills and modernizing the infrastructure of another Islamic state to fight us later.

Blue On Green was always my worst fear when I was over there... Despite being in a fairly active and hostile province, I honestly was more cautious of the Afghans they allowed inside the wire. Talk about hypervigilance 24/7.

I blame Obama.
