| #7 This is just one more stone added to the pile of reasons why no one in the military has much sympathy for the Afghans any more. This was just cruel and despicable - and then they wonder why ordinary Americans distrust Muslims! I can't find the link, because I can't recall where I read it (possibly here at the 'Burg) but the story was to the effect that the higher echelons of military and civilians in Afghanistan were going spare with frustration over how the ordinary military assigned there had begun to dislike Afghans (particularly Pashtuns) because they were routinely witnessing Afghani brutal mistreatment of dogs, children and women. Think on that, Burgundians; think of how ordinary soldiers, Marines and airmen love dogs and children, and their wives and girlfriends. Think on how they must resent being told that they have to be nice to canine-abusing, children-molesting, woman-beating Islamic Afghani nutbars, just because. And never mind that in addition to all the above, the Afghans would stab you in the back as soon as look at you, anyway. |
