As Barack Obama announces more US troops to train the Afghanistan army, John D McHugh reports on how US soldiers view their Afghan counterparts as ill-disciplined, badly led and with a crippling taste for hashish.

Put your hands on your hearts, and answer me truthfully:

Given the following two options, which one would you choose if you were in the Afghan Army:

1. Smoking hashish in your tent with your mates, relaxing to some good music, with tea and chocolate,

OR

2. Going to the hills in order to kill some of your fellow Pusthun tribesmen branded as "terrorist", on the orders of a fucking invading foreign army, and maybe getting killed in the process or blown up by an IED?

Seems like a no-brainer to me!:)

[MrLoadedBoarder]

if only both sides sat around smoking hashish all day then there would be no one left to fight! MAKE HASH, GROW WEED, SMOKE GREEN. FUCK WAR

@skxek You are a confused lad. why should the taliban terrorize their brothers village you dumb ass. actullay it is vice versa because its the afghan who become taliban because they are being bombed by foreingers/invaders.

@skxek

Part 2.

If you've been there, tell me: how Western soldiers solve the woman-problem?

American service-women are out of the question, with Feminist anti-molestation laws and whatnot.

Raping women of the enemy would be natural, but I don't expect supermodels under the burqa, and hygiene in Afghanistan must be lacking.

Western free-lance hookers wouldn't roam the streets.

So, are there army brothels with "contractor" girls from US/Europe, or with local girls soaped and washed down?

@skxek

Why should I go to Afghanistan? I can buy hash in my hometown without getting shot at. Besides, as a son of a nation famous for historical freedom-fights, I am mortally ashamed that my country bows so low in servitude that we sent soldiers to fight there.

And I bet most Afghans will tell you sob-stories to make you trust them and give them three hot and a cot with pocket-money. If the talibs have 2 brain-cells, most ANA officers are on their payroll, and all of the interpreters.

4:50 I don't give a fuck about your tsai. I care about the mission...

This is what makes the Afghan people so cool...

And if you think these people are inferior or dumb-asses remember...

they defeated the Red Army.

[skxek]

@MrWHun Well unless you have been there your opinion has no merit. Many of them have had there villages terrorized by that taliban and so they join the military to kill them. Yes most of them are like this and completely retarded. Yet there are some that are good and want to win this war to take their country back.

[smallaxe0351]
