@andyhuangit Because they give them candy lol...It's not hard to befriend a little kid.

@ComradeCrad I acknowledge this is happening... They bomb the government structures, and the police building because they are working with the "foreign invaders"! Like I said, they wont play fair! They are up against the most well funded military in the world! Fighting dirty has allowed them to put up a good fight...That's why the Americans will be running with their tails between their legs in the next year in Iraq. America tried to throw together "democracy" in Iraq to try and look good....

@Aggiesgigem Yes because none of the attacks that kill civilians are ever targeting civilians purposely in Iraq and Afghanistan. No sir, the militants don't bomb elections or their own government structures or police. All places where locals work, yup they only target the foreign invaders.

@riderofdunes The Russians have made it very clear that they are done "nation building". I know the US thinks they should spread their way of life to everyone and "Nation build"...The Russians are smarter then that. They tried to nation build in the soviet era, they know it's a waste of time. Russia is committed to defending itself...Not spreading its way of life to everyone like America thinks they should

@riderofdunes I think they would much rather us leave, and eliminate ANY civilian causalities cause by the coalition. They know the weakness of the coalition, looking good for the media, so they exploit it. Shooting from places the Americans cant or wont is strategic. Why do they have to play fair? We are occupying their land against their will...Why play by coalition rules? Really? The UN gave you civilian causalities reports? I bet those are accurate -_-

[riderofdunes]

@Aggiesgigem The coalition spend billions on precision weapons to minimize civilian causalities but it does happen, perhaps we can ask those friendly taliban to stop shooting from afghan family compounds. When was the last time you saw an IED with satellite guided munitions? I cant link you the article on the UN website about causalities. I think if the Russians invaded they wouldn't be trying to rebuild the country and provide long term security to a country at war for 30 years :)

All branches of the service need NEW helicopter and 2x as they have now. I segest we hold the congressional pay roll to pay for this. It is the most important military need. Well and better leadership....

[Aggiesgigem]

@riderofdunes They are trying to repel the invaders...If Russians were walking our streets with tanks and APCs we would be trying to resist. Think of it like this, every time an American or anyone from the coalition kills an innocent civilian, 10 new "terrorists" are created. It was the same thing in Iraq after the initial surge. We overran what Saddam had. After that it was civilians trying to resist the occupiers. I would like to see evidence that IEDs kill more civilians then the coalition.

[riderofdunes]

@Aggiesgigem Did you mean by the millions of IEDs and mines the terrorists plant anywhere they can? Because that is the biggest killer of civilians in Afghanistan.
