  • Hang on Marines !

  • its a backward country with a backward population , all the help in the world will not change this , it never has . sad but true .

  • Hahaha hash wtf them tallyban afgans dont want to shoot their own people THATS why they dont look ready they are just pheasants there for the cash. The REAL afgans are all around the hills just waiting fkn crazy ass U.S. gov fkn over my armed forces like they do. Just like the soldier that comes home and has to pay out of pocket for military duty recieved wounds WTF )o,,,NUTz

  • I really believe this Afghan army is hopeless, especially if they smoke drugs. Drugs take away any initiative and all ambition. A sense of discipline must be instilled in childhood. It is highly doubtful they will ever develop any. What a waste of time, money and energy for the US Army.

  • @Coupal1 why would they have initiative and ambition to fight someone elses enemy. Its all tribal in Afghanistan. The trouble is that the largest tribe is Pashtus who incidently make up the majority of the Taliban. They dont care and why the fuck should they? They are a 3rd world country whos only everyday commodity is drugs. If your poor and starving and someone offers you food and money youll take it until someone offers you something better. You cant make Afghans patriotic its impossible.

  • @grimblebrumble17889 -Agreed.

  • @Coupal1 Agreed?

  • "If I was to tell the that the 'Dooshmawn' (enemy) was going to drop bombs at 8.30 they'd be drinking chai at 8.29"

    BAHAHAHAHA. The magnificent Afghan Army under Dr Najib smashed the shit out the mujahideen in the Battle of Jalalabad slaughtering 10,000 of these fundamentalist faggots in the process. This Afghan Army created by the yanks is made up of delinquents, drug addicts, rapists and illiterates.

  • So now it gets worse, we have a fake brittish royal wedding that was hijacked by a Nazi bloodline. We have a brittish king walking around doing a 9 to 5 job & they dont even know they are the kings blood(it could be me, it could be you), because Nazi's actually won WW2 & currently control the crown. A Nazi German king & a greek queen under the rule of Brittish royal. How do you American troops like them apples, you didnt fight for shit, but to fund these tyrants into power.

  • I have a couple of things to comment on. First off I really dont think calling this Obama's War is even remotely acceptable. Bush had this baby for almost 8 years, Obama is only close to 2.5 years. I would give the Obama is trying to clean up after Bush's failure, but this video & others like it, makes it impossible to do. Anyone who does blame Obama even Bush is a dumbass. In our efforts to stabalize their nation, only junkies are available? We need to cut your losses. You CAN NOT FIX STUPID

  • of course nothing s goin to get done they dnt know fucking responsibility, and they arnt willing to take care of what they started

  • these same afghan soldiers before 9/11 when they were part of the northren alliance would charge taliban dug in positions on horse back in full stride firing there ak's, like a civil war calvary charge. You cant say they're not brave soldiers.

  • ●911 Inside Job and Hereafter (Modified) by richardkoshimzu

    ●9-11 AND STEALTH JEWISH

  • dog soldiers

  • Maybe if you kids trying to become adults would realize that killing doesnt make you a man. Maybe if you realized that the Taliban are still contracted through the CIA, you'd realize why you are protecting poppy fields. Maybe if you look throughout history, big investors have been funding both sides. Maybe you may realize that Afghanistan wasnt growing poppies 15 years ago, much less smoking hash until the CIA brought it over. just maybe you kids will wake up & discover you threaten freedom.

  • @LendMeYourHand Actually Afghanistan has been growing poppies for over 200yrs, do a little extra research and look up "The India Company" when opium was grown in Afghanistan and smuggled into China via ships and through India lol...

  • @723398216 Holy Crap!!! Brittish Royal have been drug pushers on the backs of slavery for over 200 years. So this only supports my arguement. Its not the Muslim people moving poppies, farmers were strong armed by the  East India Company. Its a complete conspiracy right in front of our faces. Not sure what you may have been trying to state, but you blatantly pointed out the fact that we have all been fooled by these assholes. So this is the proof of the elites drug operations. total proof.

  • @LendMeYourHand Only The India Company is no longer owned by the British and hasn't been post WW2. It's all economics at the end of the day and someone somwhere has to be the lacky. I'm just grateful it's not us. It's not really a conspiracy when the info's out there. The only reason why it's new to people is because they've decided to pay a little more attention.

  • @723398216 Good point!! Also we may recognize that many corporations have simply changed their names over time, it would not be too far from the truth if we were to assume that this company is operating today under a common industry like Coka Cola for example. Good to see some people are actually not wearing blinders when the obvious is smacking them in the face. Thank you for that valuable knowledge.

  • wasent your war to biggin with,yet you made it your own, now your leaving, wash your hand and pass it on to there kids, there baraly breathing.

  • Comment removed

  • Only Mans PIGS can drive such a war and partipiciate in it" shame" Freedom for Afghanistan

  • lol at 58 seconds someone gots there helmet backwords lol

  • Ye but..... Packies r living the UK, so how can theybtell us to get out of their country

  • Stand up to Pakistan? maybe in the future, the way it is know, Pakistan would crush the ANA within a week. Then again, Pakistan is one of the most professional and best trained armies in the world, and the 7th largest, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

  • The problem with the insurgency is that the Taliban grow the opium and sell it to the ANA, who then fight the Taliban, who then fight back and launch a propaganda war showing the incompetence of the ANA and their habit of using drugs (and the Taliban are known to kick anyone who does drugs out of their ranks, or severely punish them), who then try and justify their acts and fail miserably, which then gives more support to the Taliban, who get more money and land to grow even more opium.

    circle

  • @helix4811

    endless circle

  • @helix4811 If that was true, why have the soldiers been told that they're not to burn the poppy fields?

  • @723398216

    because ordinary farmers also grow poppy, what would happen if the army accidentally burned a farmer's farm, who's just trying to make some money and put food at the table and not the Taliban run farm? I'll tell you, mass riots against a occupying force that doesn't need any more bad publicity.

  • @helix4811 Fair Point ;-)

  • @723398216

    and unfortunately it is probably true...

  • America is trying to turn Afghanistan and Iraq into puppet states it never works you always lose in the end and you deserve it.

    Americans are either evil or stupid, or maybe both.

    YANKEE GO HOME!

  • The Afghan of history is the one repels invaders.

  • Enemy propaganda. It's high time journalists faced prosecution for their crimes.

  • Obama sucks bomb them all.

  • why even fight?

    seriously it's a waste of time. Im 15 and even I know, that were all humans of all sizes shapes and colors and we all have to live on this world together.

    Let their be diffrent laws in diffrent countrys, and religions and beliefs.

    Just dont fight, seriously. Your just gonna end up being dead. Half of the worlds leaders must Have PMS 24/7

  • Join the afgan army they supply you weed:)

  • Look guys, im a muslim.. and that doesnt mean i must say Afghanistan is the best..

    no. if i was the leader id smack them in the head and make them like the Marines!

    i mean what the american force is doing is bullshit (no offense). They must show them whats true!

  • @qaTAri7574 u fuck off u muslim cunt"

  • Comment removed

  • @fauxanarchist no but you dont understand, every country has another

    country that will go and fight in a war with em.

    So if we do that to them, their brother/sister country will do that same to us.

    well u americans, im australian so it doesnt really effect me

  • Someone has their helmet on backwards ahahaha

  • Barack Obama is a total failure. He needs to be impeached and removed from office before he does more damage.

  • @JimmyFormerMarine he's hardly done anything prepared to Bush

  • @KaraJayneee You can't vote here. Why do you care? Is it because Obama is a Muslim? Is that why you like him?

  • @JimmyFormerMarine I didnt even know Obama was a muslim.

    And I care, because I dont think People should die, because of war.

    And no, I cant not yet. but im moving to the USA soon

  • @KaraJayneee Muslims claim that Obama is one because his father was a muslim and he really sucks their asses whenever he has an opportunity. His mother was an atheist. Hard to tell what he really believes. Obama spent 20 years in a black supremeist church in Chicago, then quit when he ran for President. In any case I believe he is as phony as a three dollar bill and totally unqualified for any public office.

  • @JimmyFormerMarine While Muslims like to claim him as one of their own to "big up" Islam, he is most likely an atheist. However, he can't admit to it bc you can't get elected in the US without loving Jesus. Saying that, if it was ever proven that he was a British subject I would have no problem with him an educated and articulate man of colour being the PM of the UK. That is in contrast to someone like the ex-President Bush who made me ashamed to be white.

  • weed is peace!!!!!

    CMON~~!! this is not america!!!!! stop learning them to be a slaves of your goverment!!!!

    STOP THE NWO!!!!!!!

    WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

  • thy are not your slaves! just brainwashing irakies to follow the rulles of the united states of amerika! CMON!!!!

    its irak! not united states!

  • It looks like the US wants to have Iraq and Afghanistan to station troops equipment or something once it's free of terrorist and a established country maybe just to point a couple rockets at Russia just in case they do something maybe their just helping Afghanistan just like France helped us fight the British in the revolutionary war

    who knows

  • @trento7o8 Pipeline in Afghanistan.

  • Weed for Peace!

  • The president that u vote for , strarted that war... just finish it ur self's!

    Afghanistan is 10x's older then americans in world history...

    is like trying to teach ur teacher's who to educate ur self's...

    they didnt wanted that war before u americans stated to take afghanistan's resorces , u have let them whit out nothing, now u whant them as alli? Now that u have the money and the power dont know who to deal whit it? hashish is older then USA and steroids, go home u NAZIS... THC=WORLD PEACE

  • hahaha, I knew this would happen. If you want reasonable allies in the Middle East, you must look no further than the pot-head militias.

  • it's all the plan for the future of the one world government it's sick.

  • This is depressing, these people are so backward, i dont care if it offends but their culture is inferior to that of the uk or usa. Yes, western military intervention abroad has been very dubious over the past few years but our individual troops and training are exceptional. The taliban would shred these people, i know british soldiers who have said its like trying to train children.

  • What a waste of time and life....

  • Burn all the poppy fields, right to the ground, introduce Fairtrade and get the "pop up" Afghanis to grow oranges etc something useful. So they could feed themselves, also build some stone fountains with water, strobe lights a couple of negros rapping with some nice lights and all is well.

  • @nja1982 We should spread democracy to china......Build some fountains over there....some strobe lights.

  • Obama only wants to help Muslims. Q: Why doesn't he help liberate Burma? A: It's not Muslim.

  • @JimmyFormerMarine

    The UK has always had a strong relationship with Burma.

  • @nja1982 What sort of relationship do they have now?

  • @JimmyFormerMarine Pipeline in afghanistan......look it up.

  • hearing this punk US soldier just makes me laugh.. Nationalism in Afghanistan... My ass.. U fucking coward..Like American soldiers are not crack heads.. taken from the street and ignorant

  • @alboss13 No, any soldier caught doing or possessing drugs is court martialed and expelled. Would you happen to have been one of them?

  • ok who's smoking hashish around here.

    Bob are you smoking hashish?

  • Wow these American troops are BRAINWASHED.

  • @rdru00001 What about the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan?

  • @JimmyFormerMarine They are working on the pipeline that they are building over there.

  • @rdru00001 Brainwashed? Explain your self? We only do what our CO's tell us, not abiding orders is court martial and thus dishonorable discharge which means you can not or have a hard time finding a job.

  • these Afghanistan's aren't stupid, they are so smart, they took down the might of the USA in 2001 remember! thats what bush and barrack have said?

  • Afghanistan Zindabad

  • Nowhere in the constittution is there any power of the federal government to "spread democracy."

    We were attacked by a group based in Afghanistan. Kill them and come home. F the rest. That's not our job. That is just PC bullshit to make the hippies feel better about war.

  • according to the 911 report you where attacked by Saudi Arabians. The 911 report overlooks the fact that $100,000 dollars was mailed to them from the Pakistani chief of staff just before 911... it also overlooks that 6 of the 19 SAUDI hijackers are widely reported to be alive... It overlooks an awful lot as it goes... That maybe because it was written by those who an independent investigation would hold as chief suspects... Ask any investigator who the prime suspect is in any investigation...

  • @conservativo Actually they are building a pipeline in Afghanistan......look it up...research it. It goes from uzbeckistan through afghanistan/pakistan and out to the sea.

  • @conservativo You're oversimplifying it.

    The people who attacked you where mostly from Saudi Arabia, That includes Osama Bin Laden who is most likely hiding in Pakistan right now.

  • @conservativo The "hippies", who tend to be pacifist, are the ones who want out of the war as they generally don't believe in bombing or killing or war for any reason. The West is stuck with this war, bc the US diverted troops to Iraq and then installed a corrupt government in Kabul. You would have thought that the US would have learnt from Vietnam, that you can't win a war if the countries government is corrupt and fecking ur soldiers in the arse by pissing the local people off.

  • @conservativo you are stupid. we are stuck there now because if we leaveafghanistan, iran, or other terrorist organisations will simply move back in and well have the same problem as before.

  • @conservativo This war is about control of oil resources. 9/11 was a false flag operation committed by the Pentagon to garner public support for an invasion. Don't believe it? Guess you believe Building 7 just fell down all by itself? The transnational banks and their cancerous corporations have taken control of the US completely, that's who you fight for. They are the real enemy to freedom and peace in the world. They attacked you and made you think it was the Afghans.

  • @conservativo -- Correction: The neocons & zionists aren't based in Afghanistan, you fool. The US has become the most evil, corrupt regime in the world, inflicting war, misery, death, destruction & fraud around the world on behalf of corporate racketeers. The silly, foolish antics of the US soldiers here demonstrates their gullible dumbed-down fealty to 'mission' propaganda. FACT: In August, 2001, US informed India & Pakistan they would attack Afghanistan in October or November. Coincidence? HA!

  • @conservativo "These Gentlemen are the moral equivelent of America's founding fathers." (speaking about the Taliban visiting in the White House) Ronald Reagan 1985

  • What you people really dont understand is that Obama is ending the war in Iraq, but he has at the same time to help the Afghan government. He is there to end what that hickey Bush started. With every right I can find. Talibans and terrorists aren't worth more than camel jizz.

  • Obama seems to be doing the exact same as Bush only a lot more... More money, more troops, more debt... I mean from his actions it appears that hes gone back on everything he said..... Lets not forget that the Taliban offered to hand over Bin Laden if America could produce some evidence... As it goes America hasn't even pressed charges against Bin Laden to this day... Don't u wonder why?

  • Obviously we are not there to help "the People" just to cause kayos keep a pipeline from going through the country from Iran to China. So banks can sell goods and services to all involved , the banks have no "foe" just customers. WAR FOR PROFIT, the more troops over there the more foreign troops they bring into the USA to kill citizens here at home if necessary, there has to be almost as many foreign troops as American troops in the US now especially at the rate they have been deployed

  • I love Chai Tea and Hashish

    I hate war.

    Especially when it only serves the interests of the Rothschilds, Bankers, and War Profiteers.

    .

  • OBAMA that lier got into office by saying he was going to remove us (USA) from the war. INSTEAD HE's MAKING IT WORSE. If he gets elected again, we all know someone rigging things.

  • Jesus Christ!

    C'mon Obama! All these ignorant hippys that voted for you did so because they thought you would end these wars!

    Fuck You Obama we should put you at the front of that patrol with a bright blue shirt!

    You fucking raghead piece of shit.

    Well thats what happens when you ellect a man to office whos father killed him self and others in a DUI car crash.

  • you dumb cunt, are you a bush supporter who forgot that he waged the wars that obama inherited? would you rather have mccain, whose only claim to fame was getting captured in war?

  • This video does not show an army of war, rather a group of soldiers that are not capable to lead a war when necessary. I am personally against that Obama wants to double the nr of soldiers in Afghanistan, but on the other hand, what US needs to do is to improve the quality of armed men instead of quantity.. Their skills should not be based on amount of days spend at war, but rather on proper education and preparation for a battle field..

  • obama is a stupid NIGGER

  • what do you expect?

    The US/UK Coalition troops there are just Pawns for the US and UK Governments.

    If they die, they just get replaced. If their wounded, their given a medal and told to go away.

    the Afghan Army couldn't care less about this pointless war.

  • Double standards as always...the British and U.S. soldiers are so dumb that teachers are being sent out by the governments to help them read maps!!!

  • Three bombers with 100 ton bombs can end this conflict in a few hours.

    WHO CARES about building the Afghan army,who cares about Crapstan I don't.

  • So it's fine with you to kill afghan civilians?

  • Now ain't this a damn shame...... BUT..... That damn president every said was so great was going to get us out..... We're still there and sending more american troops????? WTF?????

  • why are we there again? to help fight the taliban, bullshit.

  • didnt you hear .. they have good hashish

    not to mention all that opium .... nah cia doesnt do that , it no longer deals drugs since it became public knowledge ....I'm pretty sure its to save these people from hanging out with taliban and plotting how to destroy U>S>A>

  • I feel ashamed to be an American citizen. We are clearly being taken advantage of. As long as the we're paying taxes, this will continue.

  • get'Em off the millitary bus and put them on a school bus.......... they are a bunch of ignant villagers with nothing better to do who at best will turn and run away at first sign of conflict without the US soldiers holding their hands, and at worse will join the other side ..... best billion dollar a day habit our gov. has ever come up with f...ing genius

  • wow this would all be soooo funny !!!!!! if it was'nt so sad .

  • Same as in Nam- these ragheads won't fight for us, they claim to be on our side so they can soak up some good intel on how we do things, get fat on our food, take the weapons and equipment we give them then bug out and join the Taliban where they came from. We provide them with bootcamp.

    We are there for two things-

    1.) To secure the area for the oil pipeline.

    2.) To keep the poppies popping for big pharma and the CIA dope business.

    After the russians left the Taliban killed all the poppies.

  • Wow, you're an idiot. There are some pretty crappy ANA boys, but there are also plenty of switched on troops who are getting into the fight, who are dedicated to fighting the Taliban, and who are dedicated to the new Afghanistan. As for the pipeline, that has been discredited so many times its no longer funny watching people say it, merely pathetic.

  • Oh, missed a point, the Taliban did nothing about the poppies until they were under international pressure to crack down on it, and they have since supported opium production in their controlled areas as a revenue source post invasion.

  • take our forces out and say we tried our best, their clearly taking advantage of our resorces

  • u idiots the real men are with the taliban, an u caught some junkies an drafted them in the army, u gna get fuck.d in no mans land

  • 9[][] wuz an 1n51de j0|3

  • Opium, gaspipe, and creating real terrorists!!

    9/11 was an inside job

  • hahha, Haven't I seen some british troops smoking hash with them? For the love of God, who cares? They are there to die for their country, let them live while doing so.

  • How is the war in afghanistan, which was started October 7, 2001 Barack Obamas war? He wasn't elected to the senate until November 2004, so he wasn't even able to vote on the afghan war either. So tell me how its his war.....

  • vilenccoordinatr- Your boy in the white house promised if he were elected to bring the troops home. WTF???

    What has he done instead?

    HE SENT ANOTHER 50,000 troops to Afghanistan.

    Forget about that "Bush's war" B.S.

    Obama has done nothing but perpetuate Bush's policies and seek to expand our prescence in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    You need to realize Bush and Obama are on the same team working for the same NWO.

    Wake the fuck up.

    Nevermind that Dem / Rep thing, it is a game for you to believe

  • Obama's the Commander in chief now...

  • because he's currently in charge of it

  • what does this fotage come from?

  • not like it matters, but this video was created by journeymanpictures... OLD news.

  • lazy afghan cunts

  • Afghanistan has the best marijuana in the world. If we (America) leave Afghanistan without first finding out their secrets to growing the most beautiful potent marijuana plants first we may never have dank shit in America again! I say stay there and keep sending me home some weed fellas! THANKS!

  • These Afghan Army are in front line always not like fuckin Americans fighting like bitch behind walls and fuckin tanks hahaha

  • lol wtf are you talking about? you dont know jack shit about this war you fuckin moron, the US are doing the mass majority of the fighting....Im so sick of brainless fucktards on youtube

  • Lets get out of there, fuck this. As anveteran I can tell you I would consider shooting one of these clowns in the head in front of their drug-smoking cohorts.... My life or his. The Taliban would do it, in minute. Instill some God -damn discipline in these animals.

  • no no no, you can't just leave, there are terrorist pot heads there =D

  • Um ok first of all yes al queda attacked the us not taliban. but they basicaly gave them a home in afghanistan so they are responsible too.

    second the taliban didnt fight the soviets, the taliban wasnt even formed until the russians left. the ones who mainly fought the russians were the ones who mainly made up the northen allieance forces who where the talibans mortal enemies.

    Geeze read some books!

  • responsible? they said they would give up osama if you would hand them proof, there just isnt any

  • That's the most horrible thing I've ever seen. I feel sorry for those poor goddam Marines. They must go around feeling like their heads are going to explode, 24/7. Those Afghani "soldiers" are nothing but human pop-up targets, and clearly, trying to turn them into some sort of viable fighting force is a waste. It's a damned shame. Why can't we ever seem to get involved with countries where the people actually want to help themselves?

  • @ogivecrush I believe that is the very reason we get involved with them. Too many big hearted congressmen who feel sorry for the people in these seemingly hopeless countries instead of focusing on our own Nations problems.

  • @ogivecrush ARE U STUPID STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS! WE BEEN FOR ALMOST 9 YEARS!! FOR WHAT? TELL ME? NOTHING!!! THERE IS NOTHING OVER THERE!! ITS A DISTRACTION U STUPID PIECE OF SHIT PEOPLE DIE EVERY MINUTE OVER THER

  • "Barack Obama's War"?

    Sorry, this is Bush's War.

    This war would have been over by now had the Bush administration dealt with it's petty war-criminals properly.

    Instead he gave them a slap on the wrist, which did nothing except fuel the resistance in Afghanistan, aswell as Iraq.

  • Undisciplined army, no leadership, and tripling the amount of afghani soldiers is 3x the amount of undisciplined soldiers. These people need help to get back onto there feet. If we abandon them, things will only become worse. Patience would be a key trait to the war, but people are concerned about money back at home, yet they live in good homes and eat and live normally without worrying about walking outside getting shot or kidnapped.

    I fear something bad will happen when we leave soon.

  • Al Queda, not the Taliban attacked the United States on 9-11-2001. Al Queda in Afghanistan was wiped out in 2002. Since then the U.S. has been fighting Taliban only, the same guys who defeated the Soviet Union in the 1980s. It may be a noble cause for us to fight the Taliban for an unlimited number of years like we fought the Communists in Vietnam. My only question is does the U.S. have the will to fight such an unlimited war and make such a sacrifice?

  • Nothing like the mighty army of Dr. Najib, which single-handedly smashed 10000 ashrars at the battle of Jalalabad.

  • It would probably be easier if more of the soldier spoke the Afghani language and vice versa. I mean, we are occupying there land. The least we could do is learn their language.

  • The video doesn't show it, but almost every forward operating platoon is assigned at least one interpreter. And the sad fact is that most of the "organized" militias prior to our arrival were very loosely assembled with no real military discipline or structure. When I was there 4 years ago, you got the general impression that the Afghani soldiers just didn't give a shit. Like they were just killing time until we left and the drug barons took control again.

  • Hahahahahahahahahaha, smokin hash fuck yah.

  • oh, and really? how the fuck do you get a helmet on backwards!? or forget your weapon!? goddamn..

  • I'm an army infantry medic, and if i have to catch a glimpse of shit like this when i leave I'm just going to have to laugh at how pathetic those afghans are. has it not registered to them yet that this is serious?

  • i hope i have dont have to do this when i leave with the marines

  • *sigh* And this is what my dad was just deployed to do..

  • whats the matter..they couldnt get any opium?

  • Sweet Christ... We can't afford this shit.

  • ....In Kandahar the A.N.A are operational to operated and can operated without foreign assistance.

  • I feel that what these Marines are saying are when you getting geared up for a night patrol. You DON'T get wasted, ON ANYTHING (including alcohol). I've always felt there is a time and place for everything including BONG HITS, BUT the military (any military) ISN'T one of those times. If alcohol was apart of afghan culture. Those Marines would be bitching about them getting drunk.

    I actually agree with the Afghan commander mentioning the character of the person is to blame not the drugs.

  • At least it hash and not pot...

  • Hash is made from pot.

  • I know, hash is still more powerfull...

  • anyone who read accounts from journalists and foreigners covering both the initial russian-afghan war and the subsequent civil war have commented on this time and time again.

    Also; in the modern afghan army, each district contributes a set number of recruits to the central command.

    it's not in their best interest to send their most competent capable young men. they're kept home and are either fighting for their local warlords or already joined the taliban

  • What else what you expect from a VOLUNTEER(Recruiters show up @urban public institutions&entice with college money opportunity,job, etc.) military made up of mostly poor uneducated troubled people from the trailer parks and ghettos

  • I think its a good thing that the US is trying to help out Afgan country with their military, but what I think that the only reason the Afgan soldiers are not really into it is because they dont have someone screaming down their backs like our military does to our soldiers. They need to be taught discipline and need to cut out the use of drugs IF they are to serve their country. If those two things were embedded the Afgan army would maybe have a chance against any enemy thats out there.

  • The American army are on drugs too - its just that they are more discreet about it and also that they use politically correct drugs like alcohol and tobacco so they dont get in trouble. If you join the Army and are asked to invade and kill innocent people then do you really think those soldiers are not going to use drugs? If they didnt use drugs they would probably go insane. And when i talk of drugs i mean all drugs including alcohol.

  • since when was alcohol and tobacco considered a drug?

  • If that question is serious 'realdealx08' then i think it shows the calibre of your intelligence.

  • Fucking junkie

  • Well about anything can be considered a drug. But the question isn't about drugs it's about drug abuse. First off all, a person whom is in serious physcial pain substance such as hashish or Weed can easily act as a minor cure to the pain. But since these individuals are not in any physcial pain using the substance is considered abuse. Since their really isn't a cause to take any substance it's called abuse a drug. Since Hashish has higher potency it's an issue.

  • Dalmascas: What you're saying is that because hashish has a higher potency its an issue? Even though what you said is incorrect are you serious? So its ok for someone to have a beer but not 60%+ proof rum? By your logic Rum is more potent therefore "it's an issue"....??

    Even Alcohol can be used to treat pains and illnesses so again by your logic millions of people who drink alcohol with no medical reason are abusing the drug alcohol?

    There is a distinct difference between drug use and abuse.

  • How the fuck would you know? Do you really think US soldiers go out to combat drunk? Stop your whimpering "oh but but alcohol is a drug oh your neo-colonial judgements are ethno-centric". If the Afghan Army were sober and straight, but full of limp-wristed, pedantic sooks like you, every female student would've been butchered long ago.

  • ...please tell me your kidding.

  • Alcohol was considered an illegal substance during the prohibition. Tobacco is on its way to being illegal. the anti-smoking laws in north america is just the start. just a matter of time...

  • fuck who r u kidding drugs come from third world countrys as the saying goes goerge formby and eddy murphy it turned out nice again mother fucker.

  • Bush-O-Bama!

  • Everyone who has a "sense of nationalism" is fighting with the Taliban, even if they don't agree with the Taliban's politics....no better excuse to get united than to repel foreign invaders..

  • Well said.

    It seems that we (USA and UK) have not learned from our past imperialist ways of conquering and decimating countries and in the process killing hundreds of thousands people.

    If the guys would rather smoke hash than kill whats the problem? I would rather that people smoke weed than kill people.

  • O.o? So you rather be high and die rather then protect yourself huh? To me that's... rather pathetic.

  • No you have the wrong end of the stick, my point was that people who use marijuana/hashish generally dont have violent tendencies. Either way we are fighting a losing battle, majority of the people in Afganistan dont want us there anyway, these soldiers are only in the army probably to feed their families - If these people fire up some weed as opposed to AK47s i dont see what the problem is, i thought we should be spreading peace besides they(USA) came under their own ignorance and stupidity.

  • we should blow the place to hell and make it a parking lot.

  • the soviets tried to train an afghan army when they were there it never worked the afghans do not give a shit.

  • Kinda like those who voted for obama :)

  • lmao i dont think 40 million trainees would help them There just not interested

  • Haha!

    Sitzen rum, rauchen Hasch, aber kriegen Ausrüstung für mehrere hundert Dollar in die Hand.

  • hah

  • I'm joining the Army Reserve as an MP (at least until I'm out of college and will go active) By my unit is up for orders this summer and will probably be deployed in 2010... maybe

    my CSM (Command Sergeant Major) said we will most likely be sent to Afghanistan, if not Iraq, to do stuff like this. I can't stand incompitant people so I'll probably be pissed at the guys we are training.

    but I've heard the Iraqis are more motivated so maybe i'll get lucky.
