US Mil female soldiers wearing hijabs/scarves on mission...

For some reason this really pisses me off, and I don't like seeing our soldiers in this type of crap.


Among other issues this is why we have been there for 10 years. In fact right about this week isn't it?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The question is: how far backwards do we need to bend to prevent another backwards terrorist state to reemerge and do this crap over again, or do we cowboy up and educate them that their religion is way past its prime by about several centuries.

Yeah, I hate it, too, Blemont. But the retards we are "trying" to gain favor with are more superstitious and cruel to their women than the Puritans were.

Reading further into it, they only wear them for a solemn gesture, but when the shooting starts, or on patrol, the helmets are on.

And apparently they are effective.

If they'd worried less about their pissing scarves and more about how to properly put a damn fire out we'd have probably gotten even more good will.

Apparently they are not because we have been there for 10 years.

Did we not already address this same topic in another thread a few months back. This is a positive thing, ground commanders exploiting every availble option to gain an edge over the ememy. Female engagement teams have a huge impact on the battle space from a CA stand point. They are not wearing the hejab on missions only when they enter a home to speek with women. Its a sign of respect to show that you value there culture it will get you a long way.

Also the one with out rank is clearley of persian desent.

**** AFGHANISTAN! Having said that. Why are we still there? Because the people who work at the Dept. of State and the idiot in the White House seem to think that we are going to change that country and everything will be fine.

They still cannot understand the fact that democracy doesn't work in countries like Afghanistan. The average person there is illiterate and uneducated. Their belief in Allah and their allegiance to their own tribe/clan/ village, etc... trumps that of national interests.

We are simpy spending more money that we don't have. We need to pull out, take everything with us and wish them a good life. We can't even fix the mess we are in at home and yet somehow we are going to fix problems that have been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years.

If they want to beat their wives, grow poppy all day and play with little boys, let them. We need to get out, use some of our intel assets to monitor the situation and if Al-Qaeda or whomever shows their face again we send a few Tomahawks over as a friendly warning.

Is it a tactic, or capitulation?

Were you referring to my post? If so,

At what point do we call it a success or failure?

We have been there 10 years and the country is still ****ed up.

You cannot change the will of the people that do not function the way that you and I do.

What are we trying to accomplish? We have already routed the Taliban for the most part, we have killed Bin Laden and we have killed most of the top leadership. Unless we are prepared to go to war with Pakistan (which it should be obvious by now is helping them stick around) what else should we be doing?
