Afghan Other War LAV3Stryker Trucks Ruin the Effort 2/3

[specom]

ALWAYS trust the dog!

[TheJamesrocket]

If they travelled off the roads then casualtys would be cut in half, because we're not stuck to predictable or visible routes. And we could avoid accidents like these.

[berendcore]

I was there in 2006 in fob martello taking over the canadians for mission medusa .

almost everyday the fucking taliban attackt us from the hiltop,s. and we left some nice porn magezine,s for the canadians import from oure country holland!!

[NEPST3R]

guess they will stop all these

[Zot64]

Stop means STOP! Boneheads!

[trahcceb]

@Zot64

we understand you say this because your a humanitarian, not an asshole.

If only everyone could have a bit of faith in the methods required to turn this war around, and just relax more - and not get shot.

[symmetry08]

look like any good intentions coupled with bad results. Arm and weapons always bring bad results in long run. This war is destined in bad failure too. Its effect will linger far into future. Cause and effect will take place again.

Risking lives for spark plugs

[LealizeKkocaine]

Ever heard of a stop sign? Or a "road work ahead"...or "checkpoint" sign.

[RenzeZielman]

What debate do you guys want ? the ages old tracks-vs-wheels debate, or the troublesome violence strategy of the US army, that turns itself against the men on the ground ?

The one debate is held with the facts of the other, and vice versa. incorrect use of facts to prove your points, doesnt quite increase your credibility...

btw can one be sued when openly argueing the strategy of your army ? In that case i can imagine why this debate is camouflaged under the "wheels-vs-tracks" debate !!

[nomorenarcissism]

This isn't a debate. Its about life and death, victory or failure. Wheels are miserable failure in Iraq/Afghanistan. We need all-tracked forces backing border security fences and separation walls. The duty of the officer is to serve his people with military excellence--not make excuses for failures.

[mard420]

why didn;t they just get the driver to unload the truck in the desert, so if it blows up no problem?

[mondaytoom]

Canadian is a slave of U.S..

U.S is a slave of Jewish...

Jew?....there are axis of evil in the world.

[J12345cat]

WTF call in a heli to drop of the plugs, can't be that hard to get some butt plugs

[gman2152]

The Dog don't lie.Good Dog.

[damien4166]

Afghanistan is in ruins, how can anyone ask NATO to leave before we clean up the mess that has been caused by the Taliban and then in defense of the innocent, NATO? The Taliban should stop fighting so we can provide the help Afghanistan needs to rebuild itself into a better society.

[Achekzai]

the only help you can is to get out of Afghanistan as soon as you can . DONT KILL AFGHANS ANY MOORE.STOP THE FACK SIMPATHY YOU ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS YOU ARE OUR ENEMY.

[lostyas]

they must need glow plugs

[realmiker]

ah yeah let's make war to make peace

that makes sence (dumb americans)

[nomorenarcissism]

The NATO allies are not like the war-monger kill-ragheads Americans; they are offering assistance to villagers to improve their lives

[Colinpark]

nomorenarcissism

I am glad we agree on something, NATO does help a lot of Afghan's. However our LAV's are well liked by the Canadian soldiers.

[nomorenarcissism]

The NATO mission in Afghanistan is moral even though we are sided with drug warlords...the people don't want the Taliban. SOME unwise Canadians like LAV-IIIs that are road-bound; smart Canadian professionals realize they need tracks to go cross-country and avoid giving Taliban land mines easy targets.

[Tehfallinator]

What is NATO

[DanielG54321]

North Atlantic Treaty Organization

If a NATO country is attacked, all other Nato countries must help defend. NATO also leads missions when all countries in NATO agree. Like the Afghanistan mission.

Do a search on google for nato and the first site is the official NATO site. It is very interesting.

[y2knoproblem]

why didn't that jackass put down his cup of coffee and inspect the truck for explosives?

[buickburnout]

they r canadians go canada

[Missy944]

nato is doing a great job and usa as well peace

[nomorenarcissism]

NATO better than U.S. U.S. light infantry narcissists in wheeled trucks are air strike crazy, killing civilians and making rebels.

[mjalloxxxx]

It's all the same.

[pspboy7]

This video is great in expressing how tough this mission really is, and scary. Don't envy these soldiers their jobs at all.

[avenger007007]

Did his vehicle get showered with SPARK plugs??

[javisonic]

Truly, that is something to admire. You see, we want to show how we can truly helped this people, but it's just hard when the fanatic extremist push everyone to the edge of a pointless war against UN and American's soldiers. Seriously, we get stressed, and over pressured, because we are also scared. But we are trying our best.

[peaceloverr]

thats so messed up... ur standing on the street with guns... anyone who is passing is stopped from moving... what if there is an emergency??

[Vaughanster]

Personally, I think we should forget about winning the hearts and minds/rebuilding Moslem countries. If these people want to live like animals in the stone age, let 'em! But when they rise up like they did on 9-11, we need to stomp them back down!

[nomorenarcissism]

Isolationism. The problem is if we let nation-states fail problems fester and get bigger requiring the punitive raid. There has to be a competent military assistance form to prevent sub-national groups from attacking us

[ElectricJebus]

Its a desert more extreme conditions plus they probably use it more then you

[CreoleCommando]

All this for "spark plugs"? why not use Aircraft to help deliver them to such isolated areas? could even be DROPPED by chute! what a waste of manpower and time.

[avenger007007]

well better yet, they have to have plugs sittin around for those trucks. Cant tell me they have come up with gas, and diesel engins that dont use spark plugs. Take what ya need from the spare parts, then order more.

[SCOTSDOC]

HOW IN GODS NAME DID THE SPARK PLUG GIVE OUT ON A FAIRLY NEW  PUMP??

I've had plugs last 20 years on small Japanese motors!!

[arkgunslinger]

That's way off the main point of the post but.. I was thinking the same thing. Spark plugs usually last years unless fouled and then you just clean them!

On rare occasions they get physically broken.

[kooodeal]

They may have worn out the plugs not using the right oil/gas mix. As these pumps are civilians.

[MadMaxine]

Maybe it had "Made in U.S.A." written on it?

Britain wants the UN to take the lead role in a 'strategic plan' for Afghanistan amid growing concern about the impact of Nato"

[svevobandini]

Up the Canadian Forces. True heroes in a war against the most savage terrorists.

[SpicyCStrikesAgain]

shut up, im canadian, and our troops are butt licking bitches, we got no purpose to join this war is americas problem let them deal with it with their troops.

[SuperColossal33]

im canadian and this war has nothing to do with america you retard...you are a stupid fucking anti war bitch, you have no education on this war..this war has to do with the terrorists and afghan people..the US means nothing there

[ArmAVidz]

And yes, this war has got EVERYTHING to do with America. Dictator Harper is a Bush following follower, he has NO IDEA of what it means to be Canadian. We passed on Iraq, that was the right thing to do. The Taliban according to most information were the right people to go after. Our government did not consult or have our people vote on sending our troops to fight, it was taken out of our hands. All the more reason to bring the accountability back to our government.

[dan0303]

yes it does, canada is an enemy of al quida just as much as the US. It is not Canada's war, it is not the US's war, it is freedoms war. It is not USA vs. taliban here it is NATO fighting the taliban although canada, USA, british, and dutch are doing most of the work. Just because there is american troops there doesnt make it americas war

[kooodeal]

40 brave Canadians died to protect the North American contient from crazy ragheads you love so much.

[nomorenarcissism]

I allowed this post to correct it. Afghans are not "ragheads" they are human beings. Period.
