I guess the moral of the story is to become a pilot

[ZabulShajoy]

they reason the terrorists are one step ahead is because the Pakis and the Alqaida are providing training to these terrorits.

[kamikazerus]

The true moral is : get the fuck out of the afganistan with ur fucking "military peace-making mission" aka we "want poor peoples OIL"

@niceboy60 IED's are Improvised Explosive Devices. Afghanistan and Iraq have very fetile soil to grow crops which a lot of the civilians do for a living. IED's arent "provided" by anyone , they are made by the people from fertilizer and bleach mixed with other chemicals

We need hover-crafts

Taliban are bloody pussies...they bury these ieds given to then by Pakistan and then run to take cover behind their women coz they dnt have the balls to fight face to face with afghan and international forces..!!

@Anonymous52550 the US is providing the IED to this people . The Russians left some in 1989 . But not this extend . We are talking about explosives that cost more than a million . And in massive stupid quantity's . The U.S caused this IED problems with there stupid reckless bombings . IED 's = made in U.S

[Anonymous52550]

@niceboy60 You don't think the US tries to clean up after it self the best it can? When the Russians left Afghanistan in '89, they didn't care about a lot the gear they left behind, they just wanted to get out as fast as they could. Haven't you seen all the Soviet weapons stockpiles still be used by the Taliban, Al-Qaida, ETC? US equipment left out on the left for ten years would rust and fall apart, Soviet gear can be reused after a much longer period of time. Why don't you get real?

[niceboy60]

@Anonymous52550 Get real !!!

.

Lets Use Iraq as reference 25 millions Unexploded devices , most provided by the U.S

.

32 years out date explosives from Russia don't pose a issue in the same way less than 10 years U.S unexploded devices do

.

Americans are always trying to runaway from there responsibilities , The stupid bombs Americans are dropping on this people for more than 10 years , are causing children's to be deformed also

[Anonymous52550]

@niceboy60 All the ordnance expended by the US have fail safe devices that detonate the bombs after a certain period of time even if the initial fuse failed to arm and set off the weapon. Most materials used for IEDs are either homemade, salvaged from electronics, or are surplus Soviet equipment leftover by the Russians from their war in Afghanistan is the 1980s. Get your facts straight before opening your mouth again.
