Female U.S. Soldiers in Afghanistan ‘Encouraged’ to Wear Hijab

This would be funny except you've been doing it for a couple of weeks.

Anybody I served with would have fragged you mac ;)

I've been doing what for a couple of weeks? Where did you serve and who did you serve with? When's the last time Fragged was used in the field?
 
We both know when that was...

You are weak....you win their "hearts", real service people kill the enemy.

Are you implying that soldiers that attempt to win the trust of the population aren't "real Service people".
 
I am saying that the boots on the gorund know whats real and what isn't.

Mac is a **** who wouldn't know the enemey if it bit him...just a desk jockey.

Personal attacks are how you address the question.

Very smooth.

So General Petraeus, and General Mattis aren't "real boots-on-the-ground" enough for you? It's they who wrote the counterinsurgency manual and outlined "hearts-and-minds."

What about the part in that manual that tells about dispatching the enemy with an extreme amount of violence?

By all means, use all the violence it takes. Just know that collateral damage has a price attached to it.

So you'd prefer a My Lai type situation all over Afganistan than for women to wrap a piece of cloth around their hair?
 
Whatever you need to think.

Only weaklings have bought this crap.

Tell me how it's worked from Korea on...

Next.

I spent two years in Iraq and a year in Afghanistan. You have no idea what's going on in the world. You know squat about the military...todays or yesterdays, you know nothing of tactics....you're just a scared little christian that thinks women voluntarily wearing a head scarf somehow insults you.

Get a life, home-slice.
 
Are we still on about this? Most military folk that have been there recognize this has been done for at least a decade and most women that did it while I was there did it by choice...it made their lives easier...and it just wasnt that big of a deal.
 
Oh please stop Special Agent, you are scaring me.

You don't seem well versed at all....how have your "tactics" worked since Nam?

Now go play in the sandbox.

So he is racist because he is black?

Now that don't make no ****ing sense, does it...

Just so y'all know. Here's some evidence that it's not just liberals flinging around baseless accusations of racism :2razz:
 
Your very own posts squidley....you are black, aren't you?

i am half dominican and half irish. bow does that make me racist, wal-mart?
 
Encouraged are not forcing them to wear it.
I think its mainly because we are on their land not ours, trying to make us adapt and understand their culture. To win a war you need to understand their culture and their way of life and their thinking before we just send a bunch of American troops over there that have never been adapted to their way of life, we need to understand their way of life. Think of it as a way to remember this statement "win the hearts and minds".
