That is some crazy shit, imagine what these war criminals are capable of. OMG, this is just one reason of many why the Iraqi people will never have or find peace. You just can't trust criminals, especially in the Middle East! They have been fighting wars since before 1986, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Turkey, there is no end to these wars, it's just their way of life. I think we should just get the hell out of there and let them annihilate themselves into oblivion. I just feel sorry for the innocent caught in the middle. We are not the world police and should let those countries fix their own problems. How long do our soldiers need to be dying in foreign countries and not accomplish anything??

But for the most part, it has been American SF and other US units training these foreign soldiers in the arts of war. Canadians are our neighbors and always have sent troops to help out in training foreign soldiers. The truth is, these wars have been going on forever and it is not stopping any time soon.

Gentlemen, when it comes to the Middle East, we are our own worst enemy. How many times have we financed, trained, and armed insurgents, only to have to fight them at a later time. Everyone forgets who supported Saddam during the 10 year war with Iran, everyone forgets who supported al quida and the taliban against the USSR. and 15-20 years from now, our sons and grandsons will be bleeding in these shithole countries again because we just never learn. You cannot win hearts and minds of Ideologues.

Shit, I know for a fact that the Afghan Army Colonel at Zangabad had a prepubescent harem of boys, and sold the fuel he stole from our fuel point. But hey - can't start an international inceident with our "allies"

I remember 1A special forces East 7 beat up an Afghan officer for sodomising boys and they were going to court martial him and I think he won the appeal.

LTC (Join to see) - I remember this as well, that Guy went through hell from his command for it. The Pedophile was a major warlord. And this is the thing the American People have no idea about. There is no actual command structure of the Afghan Military, they are all warlords, given a semblence of legitimacy, but make no mistake, they are warlords , with their own private militias.

SSG John Oliver - Concerning SFC TDS, this was a story about Canadians and he just went off like a Claymore. I decided to block him. He is like the Borg on Star Trek. You can't reason with him.
