I'm thinkin' it was more like 17.
Well when "we" got attacked the first time..."we" kicked a&&. I think it was 1812? Historians please correct me if I don't recall correctly.

Just think if we had of done a lil' resume' checkin' before we gave them weapons...I do believe they ended up in O'Laddins hands...and him being a what 28th son or something...not 28th kid...son.
I think he had abandonment issues as a kid...well there ya go...a real motivation for fathers to stay in the home.

So with all this background you're learning about this scumbag, do you think you could talk to others in your age box?
He and his followers are twisted f*&%s that need to be eliminated, completely, with exteme prejudice.

With where you are, good luck with getting the first PP said.
We wouldn't be "occupying" that country if they hadn't asked for it...and they asked for it plenty.

watch our where your research leads you
if it gets to pakistan and the ISI helping a bring back to life a dead version of Islam called jialwahbism ( a side branch of saudi wahbism) then it could get awfully upsetting 'specially when you see where the dollars to fund that came from and realise there was a fully viable and friendly alternative already in place but they had thiewr own ideas on the war they did not want the Soviets replaced with another puppet government they wanted a free independant nation that was the northern alliance under Massoud after the Sov's left aid was poured into the afghan area and a civil war raged with the Taliban slaughtering the moderates in droves, they brought in thier hate filled ways and draconian rules and banned free speach , music, women where property and could be sold as cattle are, school where closed other than Maddressa's ( religeous schools teaching this hate filled anti west drivel) any technology was banned but the big bosses had TV's and Computers ( 286's ) and started hosting training camps for anti western idealists and terrorists, also funded from outside and opium profits, cheney went and visited them and waxed lyricly about them , a few others of the bush administration went there too and said all nice things about them but the real fighters of the soviet hostilities where cast aside while the US realised they had been lied to, they never admitted it thats the way now PC never admit mistakes, just "move foreward", mistakes are "not core" and all the other PC terms for covering up mistakes , then theres no blame what was your country doing when attacked? covering its butt and sucking up to the wrong folks is my thoughts but what do i know i only wrote a report in 86 on this it too was ignored i wrote another when aussie troops helped clear mines and where asked by the taliban why we support the US and where told they wished to attack you then that too was passed on but ignored we passed on films of them training and of thier retorhic that was so anti US when ignored the first time we gave it to our diplomats to pass on as we could not understand the militaries responce that you where not interested so again i say covering your butt and playing PC games of denial this is NOT the US peoples Fault but those who had the power but thought that they where so powerful no-one less than a soviet sized empire could be a threat that was too cocky and arrogant and the attacks are repayment for that stupidity and arrogance but did the ones reponcible for this pay? no the people working in the towers did the sailers did the embassy workers did as usual the ones responcible got there pensions and retired quietly saying it was a shame and how it was unforseen .. like hell it was. sorry if this is upsetting but its all facts remove the PC rules remove the BS cover ups and denial Turn the US and Coalition fighting men and women loose let them kill every talib SOB there and in pakistan pakistan dont like it , too bad. kill the talibs without remorse kill thier dogs thier sheep lay waste to thier villages fight like it was WW2 again civilians get out the way or tough times are a comin and when there is NO talibs left build a few memorials build a few mosques to honour the innocents and come home KNOWING NO group would ever have the balls to raise a stick against you ever again as the european powers learned not this PC peicemeal pissing around your doing now thats only chewing up your people and ours playing this PC based all rules must be adhered too BS WAR IS WAR show em what a real war is and finish the mongrels and learn from your mistakes as fighting this way is just another mistake that will be glossed over if not adressed soon either fight correctly or get set to write songs like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zI9uZQYTLY cheers jack Last edited by jack404; 02-04-2010 at 10:46 PM.. |

Marlin, i can vouch for Mr Yon's cred's
Got a email from him after a post i made on the SF's forum asked me to pop in every now and again when i could i did one about my last trip a overwatch contract ( road side bomber hunting ) for a large convoy headed to a dam to install a electrical tubine generator some of my pics are in this and i did make a comment when i was able i was sending him pics for a couple years now he's got others doing likewise and from thier words he publishes his stories never makes them exciting never underrplays them either one jounalist type i admire is he a journalist? or just a advanced blogger? either way he tells it like it is in a good honest way not enough like him and thanks for raising his site here it totally slipped my mind thanks eh cheers jack in another thread you ask about funny stories in this pic you'll see eveyone diving for the dirt or under trucks as a "sniper" had taken a shot on them it was actually a eagle that had dropped a ration tin it had stolen from my spotter and flew off with the eagle dropped the tin from maybe 50 meters height and it hit a vehicle we laughed anyway the poor brits and US troops below probably did not feel like lauging as there had been a few snipers that trip Last edited by jack404; 02-05-2010 at 04:18 AM.. |

remove all political interference from the war
disregard all the PC rules made to date pull half the troops home for retraining and rest for 6 months then send em back, 2 months over lap and bring the rest home and do likewise put the rest into advance to contact mode also known and seek and destroy shoot the CIA analysts if they want to play games, they are intel people not political tools , if they want to suplicate the afghan government, shoot them. use your technology to spot, track and monitor known insurgents and everywhere they go , hit and hit hard, let them run around but hit where they go EMP thier Comms if you have to, but stop them communicating cut them off from resupply ( get the afghans to block the borders a man every 20 meters if they have to but do it) then bleed them until theres nothing left if the ones in pakistan want to come in , let em let em walk into a wall of fire and lead WW2 all over again but with better tools and info and realtime situational awareness on our side but i was just a SGT not a general so.. cheers jack |
