Afghanistan Massacre Fallout

Via The Washington Post: "The Army staff sergeant accused of massacring Afghan civilians while they slept was providing security at a remote base for special operations forces that were teaching the Afghans how to defend themselves. While the soldier had no special operations training, his alleged actions deal a blow to the elite outreach program — called "Village Stability Operations" — which the U.S. says is key to handing off security to Afghans and keeping the Taliban at bay...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down the potential fallout from the shootings - will a withdrawal of troops come sooner than expected and end the year that began over 10 years ago?

This is just the one that got reported, who honestly thinks this is the first time this happened

The burning of the Korans was no accident. Those soldiers undergo extensive sensitivity training. They knew what they were doing. You'd have to be a fool to believe that it was an accident. I've undergone no training and even I would find it OBVIOUS they'd be offended at that.

Mentally destroyed? You could see why it was done? They have food to eat, have holidays from this war to relax with their families, friends around them.. why would they be mentally disturbed?

Afghan citizens (which are not trained) have been in war for over 30 years, homes destroyed, no holidays etc.. I dont see them complaining. Your excuse is invalid

How come the West is free to wage wars on our soil, kill our people, destroy our economies and carpet-bomb our cities for 'democracy' and 'freedom' while we can't even type a few words on a website without being called 'retarded' and 'hate-filled'?

[MrSaggat]

Killing is not a fucking options ,you fucking asshole . There is no enemy. Do you seriously think Bin Laden penetrated the worlds highest security radars, from a fucking cave?

Think about it. Its all about fucking oil and money.

Retarded fuck.

[mardet62]

You are a fucking idiot. What are we doing there? Killing the enemy so they don't kill 2500 more Americans in buildings. Sorry for the lone American nut job. He obviously could not handle the stress. What a socialist ass hole this guy is.

It's just training in how to hurt them emotionally by doing something that will really make them angry and retaliate, giving the US an excuse to attack again.
