Afghan Army M113 Gavins in Hyperspectral Camo dynmicpara

The Afghan National Army (ANA) with M113 Gavin light armored tracks capable of unpredictable cross-country fire & maneuver is now better equipped than the U.S. Army's roughly 20 light brigades and the entire USMC that foot-slogs with 100 pounds of "lightweight" equipment when not getting blown up by land mines in wheeled trucks and calling for air strikes on civilians in retaliation--which plays right into the Taliban's hands. Our NATO allies are doing a far better job at counter-insurgency operating from armored tracks to withstand enemy fires and locate the shooter(s) and not lashing out wildly against civilians

that even the mis-informed statements of U.S. Secretary of Defense Gates cannot change the facts-on-the-ground. To paraphrase Shakespeare in Hamlet Act 3, Scene 2; "The SecDef doth protest too much, methinks."

Our NATO allies should send the foot sloggin' and truckin' Americans home if we don't mend our ways since they are doing the real hard work of patiently winning over the restive south as the instant gratification Americans still manage to get themselves killed in the quiet eastern sector.

The wily Afghans may have even taught us some lessons in camouflage employing reported to be Hyperspectral paint schemes on their vehicles despite being "poor and impoverished". Whatever the paint used it beats woodland green or all green pickle-hearse-wagon Stryker trucks. What's our excuse? Lack of money? That ain't it. Lack of common sense created by extreme egotism is what it is.

If we were smart and wanting to clean-up our COIN tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) we would immediately MTOE change and outfit our light infantry battalion Delta Weapons companies

with M113 Gavins taken from storage--not Gavins from the heavy brigades that use them--and upgrade them with effective digital camouflage (NOT ACUPAT), band tracks, extra armor, hybrid-electric drives

and 30mm autocannon

and 120mm mortar weaponry

to give HHC, A, B, C rifle companies the armored maneuver, firepower and protection

our NATO allies have been so successful with instead of making up hypocritical "doth protests". Don't "curse the darkness" with make-believe strawmen, "light a candle"--adapt to the non-linear battlefield of flat valley open terrain and steep mountain closed terrain Afghanistan with 3D maneuver, C-130 and CH-47 air-mech capable, light infantry with our own M113 Gavins.

Lyrics to music used in video:

Kamelot Rule The World

When a new day reaches dawn
I feel it's worth the wait
But I tumble and I fall
I'm up against my fate

When the barricades come down
I'll build them up again
When I'm just about to drown
I still don't know the end

CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
Their faces mourning
With a broken smile

Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world

When the morning comes alive
Release your love brigade
At the end of day it's night
To suck it up with hate

CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
[Rule The World lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Their faces mourning
With a broken smile

Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world

Rule the world

[Solo]

CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
Their faces mourning
With a broken smile

Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world

(Their faces mourning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world)

The US will fail in Afghanistan

[dynmicpara]

Maybe--if we don't close the borders and do bad gunslinging from wheeled trucks, certainly.

[jacksonvv]

US won't fail! Afghans fail taking care of their own country!

[dynmicpara]

The U.S. has failed before to stop closed terrain infiltration (Vietnam). Give us time. We are talented at non-adapting in order to lose.

@pater2five camo works well to conceal armor and infantry from air contacts.

[1000massoud]

ANA for ever.

This is one of the best armies of the world. They have no helicopter no tanks no jets, but they have something which is more important than any other thing, and that's COURAGE, FAITH AND THE DESIRE OF DYING FOR THEIR COUNTRY.

Long life To Afghanistan.

Death to terrorism and death to the enemies of Afghanistan.

Today 11/25/2010 the brazilian m113br a3 ( with mercedez diesel engine and modernizations such as external fuel tank, air con(!) , new armour ... ) started to be used in support to BOPE police special troops in a full scale assault of the Vila Cruzeiro favela complex planned to secure, occupy and pacify the favela once and for all. Brazilian people's best hopes are with the marine's crew , and the BOPE souldiers on board of them. Drug lords: Say your best prayers, end is near!

[VictumRoManius]

I know USA is not perfect... But still they have helped our people from the taliban regime.

And now they gonna help us with the 1000 billion minerals who are under our grounds. Of course they gonna get some of it for thems elfs, but we are also getting improvements to our army, infrastructure and trade... But we NEED to detroy Pakistan... They are blocking our way to sea trade...

Vote me and we conquer it ;D
