George Bush is still a free man.
Heck; Donald Trump is still a free man.

And you're still not banned from this forum although you're siding with terrorists and calling people who kill terrorists, trash.

Nope.

Nope

McDonalds employees make 19-29k a year, first year..and don't get shot at for their trouble..even more importantly - they never have to shoot anyone else.  You sure you've got your man here Winter?

I'm gonna float what must be a revolutionary idea to a person who thinks he's dealing with mercs and looters.

What if western soldiers are earnest people willing to lay down their lives for a stranger...a stranger they don't like and don't agree with..on anything...for pennies. For nothing, even? Not the best of us, every man down to the worst of us. Whatever else you can say about a guy - that much is true. What if those are the kinds of people your taliban buddies are dealing with? What if those are the kinds of genuinely decent people that are forced to make terrible decisions and do terrible things that they never wanted to do on account of the simple fact that your very good hand chopping friends would rather see you dead - than living in the kind of country you've repeatedly told us you very much want to emigrate to. What if that country, could be your home - no need to go anywhere. Like it is for us, all of the people who live in the countries that you envy. All of those people, who leave their comfy country - for your shithole. What if that's why those people were there? No great satan, just a bunch of awkward 19 year old kids who believe what you do not, what you cannot, and would do what you have not and will not..to help you - at nothing but risk and expense to themselves and their loved ones.

-and then there's you. They have to face the reality of you.

You reaching for your pearls when they start drinking beer out of a plastic foot? Go fuck yourself.

By all means, disagree with our government. We do too, all the time. We have to live in the real world, however..where someone else makes a shitty decision and we have to try to take the ball and make the best of it from there. I gotta tell you, we could use some fucking help. You think that the world is fucked up on account of your pathetic little slice of it...? No, it gets even worse, and we're there too. Most people don't have as much skin in the game as a volunteer soldier. Just accept that you have no fucking idea what it means to be a soldier of any kind, let alone a professional,in a western army.

So what if, Winter..what if you have the actors in the drama playing out in your head all wrong? What if you've confused heroes for villains or vice versa..or maybe there are no heroes..and no villains, at all? Do you think about this as much as you post about it? Do you have adult thoughts on the subject..or is it more the case that you run here to post whatever your silly ass witchdoctor told you was horrible and barbaric on a given day?

-and I know, I know, it challenges your myopic sensibilities to imagine western forces that way, just as it challenges your sensibilities to imagine the soldier in the image this way. Good. Excellent. Because you might want to try to come to terms with the circumstances that turn a decent and genuine 19 year old kid into the kid of person who drinks beer out of a dead enemy combatants prosthesis. Calling them evil or barbaric or terrorists is lazy and untrue and more than anything....comfortable.

The truth of the matter is worse than that.

The American army is a hellhole of broke mercs who fight for money. No wonder the Taliban kicked their asses for more than a decade.

The Taliban getting their asses kicked

Atlass does not understand the concept of "mercenary". How unsurprising, considering the fact that he does not understand fuck all.

Did Bush or Trump pull the trigger on three school children? Not interested (at this point) in hearing about policies. Did Either Bush or Trump ever personally board a school bus and shoot three underage schoolgirls?

If you or Bel are upset about an Australian soldier not being cashiered over drinking out of a prosthetic leg, it seems that you should be utterly livid that Atta Ullah Khan is walking around as free as a bird eight years after the shooting.

I don't get it. Drinking out of a prosthetic leg is in bad taste, but hardly a war crime. Soldiers are actually killing people, and I have no idea what passes for humor in that situation.

Now, if he was drinking blood from a real leg, or if he killed the guy just to get that leg, I'd change my mind.

What if he chopped the hand off because the other one was stealing some candy?

Looks like someone doesn't have a leg to stand on.
