"Fight the war, build the nation, help the people, but SHUT THE F**K UP"

[Bailey Guns]

Some excerpts from a proposed new Army handbook. And people wonder why we have such a hard time defeating our enemies. Our enemy is running the show, that's why:

Instead of blaming Taliban infiltration or other causes, the draft of a new Army handbook says ignorance of local culture drove many of the insider attacks that killed 63 Americans and other allied forces this year alone.

“Many of the confrontations occur because of [coalition] ignorance of, or lack of empathy for, Muslim and/or Afghan cultural norms, resulting in a violent reaction from the [Afghan security force] member,” the handbook says, according to The Wall Street Journal, which reviewed the 75-page document.

The handbook says troops should avoid “making derogatory comments about the Taliban, advocating women’s rights, any criticism of pedophilia, directing any criticism towards Afghans, mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”

The handbook says troops should avoid “making derogatory comments about the Taliban...or any criticism of pedophilia"...

You can shoot 'em, you can bomb 'em, you can blow up their homes. But for God's sake don't call 'em a pedophile. So I guess calling them "camel fuckers" is a no-go, too?

I like it better when the haji feared us.

The worst part in there? Refrain from criticizing pedophilia?? Are they serious? There is nothing more deserving of death, much less just criticism. Unreal what is being done to my country

I think by criticize they meant do not condemn through words, but I don't think it outlined anything about not turning their head into an ashtray.

Why not bring our troops home, have them protect OUR borders and let those #%*U#(%( kill each other?
