I remember reading an AAR where the villiage women blew up a well we built them.

Apparently the long walk to the river was the only time they got to get out of the house, and away from their husbands.

Find a cause they actually believe in and they'll fight and die for it.

They just don't believe in our Afghanistan.

OK, maybe taking away their cell phones and drugs would do it. Beyond that, not likely.

Saudi Arabia is pro American. So is Israel, Jordan, Turkey and a few others in the Mid East.

When did this thread switch to America? Thought we were discussing Afghanistan.

Israelis loves Americans as well.

We're always going to be at war with Islamists...whether we meet them on the field of battle in Afcrapistan or Syriaouslysux it doesn't matter as long as we call it for what it is...killing terrorists, Islamists and others who wish us ill- enough of the nation building crap.

The ROE hopefully will be like they were at the beginning...find Hateful Hajis and kill em all.

Some people in the world are helpless

When we leave nothing will change, we can't fix that dump.

The Israelis find us useful. At no point does Tel Aviv actually like us. We're useful idiots to them.
