Pentagon To Marines: Stop Farting In Afghanistan

By Semperpapa

Yes, finally the government is stepping in to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people.

It appears that the flatulence of patrolling Marines in the barren deserts of Hellistan is offensive for the locals, so the Pentagon is set on stopping such behavior.
Funny, but those offended by such crude behavior are the same people who wipe their asses with their bare hands...

OK, now that you have read the ridiculous, here is the serious.
I have been a long time supporter of the action in Afghanistan and of the idea of taking the fight to the enemy. There is only one way to deal with folks who fly planes into buildings full of innocent people in pursuit of some religious martyrdom, and that is to go to their homes and kill them.
But now I am tired of this bullshit!
I am tired of a government that has no clear agenda about winning a war that must be won. The stooges in Washington are only interested in "ending" the war. As I stated in the past, and as it was stated by much more experienced folks than I, a war is not "ended" it is either won or lost.

The crap I read about the way our Military has to fight this war is infuriating. Just yesterday, as I attended a memorial for Fallen of Operation Enduring Freedom, I was told by the parents of an Air Force JTAC currently in Afghanistan, that during the month of Ramadan that just ended, the base commander would not allow our Military members to have hot meals as a sign of respect for the local religious activities.
This is the type of bullshit that tells me that the war in Afghanistan will never be won, that the end result of it will be the same as Vietnam and that it is time for our Best to come home.
Names keep on being added to the list of Fallen and Wounded, and what we are worried about is our troops offending somebody by farting?
We are concerned about offending people who consider a normality to stone women for the stupidest of reasons? Or beheading people for what they may say that can be construed as offensive to Islam?
I find offensive that these people use handicapped people to carry out suicide bombings. I find it offensive that suicide bombers approach checkpoints manned by our Marines holding children by the hand, knowing that our Marines will not indiscriminately shoot children, killing our Marines.

There is something definitely wrong with the way the war is being conducted. We either seek victory or we must take the troops home. The current administration has never mentioned the word "victory" so I am inclined to believe that it is not the goal, therefore I say BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

Just my thoughts!
