The Coldest Winter - Afghanistan

March 2008
As this embed report reveals, the situation in Afghanistan is steadily deteriorating. In the past 12 months, over 6,000 Afghans have been killed. Troops are struggling to win over a hostile population.


"How do you turn a communities from bad to good?" ponders Lt Col Woods. Six years after the invasion, the rhetoric has changed. Soldiers no long talk about wiping out the Taliban or hunting down terrorists. Now, the buzz words are tactics of
counter insurgency. "We have to look constantly at ways to do it better and do it differently", states Woods. It's a difficult challenge.

I am convinced that, US Armed Forces here is not to Help Afghanistan.

They Install puppet Govt here with help of Corrupt Warlords.

NO to Imperialist USA.

Imagine that, somebody from another country coming into your house and telling you that you can't own a gun, and they take your guns and send you to prison where you are likely to not have a court hearing for years and be tortured.

@liveguns

The right to bear arms is an American right, not Afghan you complete cretin.

[liveguns]

Omg there's a pistol in the house! We'll take you to jail or confiscate it. Is that the type of freedom America represents ? The America that say's you have no right to bear arms. They honestly look like idiots pretending to be doing something.

@spawn399 " won't come easy " ? It's not going to come at all, ever. The insurgency is becoming more popular, more wide spread and sophisticated every month. Their brothers do die over there. As a soldier one should be pissed off the shady government sent them off to fight in an unwanted and illegal war where the goals are completely unattainable.

I know your comment is 2 years old, but it's still at the top so I wanted to reply.

the illuminazi bring only the illusion of freedom

[m0kkaleiavbrukernavn]

the us are the greatest terrorist in the world, and any soldier in its army are terrorist.

You terrorize a population to force them to change their political view. yes that is the textbook definition of terrorism.

I respect americans that take stand against war and I feel really sad for the many soldiers that dont know shit what they sign up on and when they get there, are caught for years. Its slavery.

But you are terrorists no matter what. sad but true
