..you are just another person confusing war with law enforcement. Don't feel bad, we have a whole political party that does this daily. After all, the whole end game here is to impune legitimate warfighters as either criminals or neglectful combatants, while the so-called insurgent is some kind of freedom fighter, as if the Taliban was interested in anyone's freedom to begin with.
We also have a libnazi, drive-by world press who's sole purpose seems to be pushing their own world view on anyone who reads their drivil. Fortunately, they are losing readers in droves and it's drying up both their circulation and profits.
When I read stories like this I am dumbfounded at the obvious questions that the press fails to bring up like:
Why would these folks keep shooting if they recognized the other side were friendlies? Certainly, they could abate such a fight if all were in uniforms.
SP4: There are 50 murders per day in the United States. In the U.S. there are about 1 million killings of (unborn) babies per year, which is about 3,000 per day, or about (on average) one per 3 blocks (more in cities) per year or over the course of 3 years, one killings of (unborn) babies per block. On average, one of your neighbors has killed an (unborn) baby (if you live in a typical U.S. suburb) and much more (if you live in a city). Your neighbors are killers. Time to turn your town into a war zone and send bomb in to kill anyone that attempts to kill an (unborn) baby. If you get in the way and your family gets incinerated then you are just a casualty of the war on killing (unborn) babies.
That doesn't even get into murders (of adults), violent crimes, rape and other bad things for which the military can be called in to control you and your neighbors, or make excuses to kill you if you are near a criminal event or get in the way, or happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Is that how you really want the United States to be? Or, is this type of behavior only reserved for muslims?
You need to think about who you are. If you actually acted upon your behavior then you would start killing your neighbors to control them.
I prefer law and order and police that are constrained by due process.
SP4: Total abortions in the U.S. since 1973 is about 40 million. Lets describe some of the techniques: Sucking brains out, pouring salt on them to induce dehydration then coma and death, beating them into a slurry to discharge them. Those are just some techniques.
How is this any better or worse than a few muslims blowing themselves up? 40 million killing of (unborn) babies is much more in numeric value magnitude than what muslim terrorists have done.
Why do you think you get the privilege to live in an imperfect society without being bombed and controlled by a military while others do not get that same privilege?
Again, you need to think hard (harder) about these issues.
Come on SP4! Too much of a patsy flower child to reply? There are most likely people in your neighborhood right now planning to kill an (unborn) child, rape someone or murder someone. Sooner or later they will do it.
I do not advocate military style operations in the United States, but it seems like you do. Why are you not executing a paramilitary operation to rid your neighborhood of rogue elements? Why are you not calling in the United States national guard and the armed forces to execute operations to curtail unwanted activity in your own neighborhood. Where is your call to bomb your neighbors to ferret out any unsavory activity?
Why relegate your hatred for others to muslim countries only? There is plenty of opportunity in your town alone.
Again, I am NOT trying to persuade you to kill your neighbors, in fact just the opposite. If anything, I wish for you to love your neighbors with all of their faults, just as you should love muslims with their faults. And to bring your neighbors to justice within the confines of due process of the law, just as you should want the same for muslims.
SP4: Big tough man when it comes to killing muslims.
SP4: Wimp with little dick when it comes to killing christians.
Typical bigot.
Christians get mistaken every day to kill the innocent, ACTUALLY THAT IS THE OTHER CHEEK THEY TURN!!!!
you can't win with sp4 .
when he's wrong he's right .
he is known as the a-hole on here .ignore him you will be better off.
this guy is nuts like his hero georgy boy.
..it just so happens that we are not in either war simply because these folks are Muslims.
I think, somewhere, you may have missed the point:
In a war where no one can be identified as a legitimate combatant, how do you differentiate the good guys from the bad?
SP4 ,are you realy sying that US trooops or ISAF troops are unable to make the distinction between afghan police and insurgents ?In that case stay out ...

Hum, police in the U.S. need a search warrant to go into someone's house. And if they apprehend someone then the person they apprehend are afforded the judicial process.
The idea of the police bombing you (in the U.S.) from one mile away is surrealistic. However, it is definitely a concern because such matters are engraved in the U.S. laws, including the constitution.
It appears that in Iraq and Afghanistan that the U.S. simply blows things up. Judge, jury and executioner. And sometimes, or even most of the time, the sentence of death is unwarranted, and certainly the sentence is unsubstantiated.
This is exactly why the military can not act as a policing force.
Anyone disagree? ... well then, simply sign a piece of paper stating that someone else is given the right to bomb your house and kill you and your relatives, even if it is a mistake, without any ability for you to contradict the action (no recourse). Got to catch the bad guys, and if you are in the way then the hell with you.
Happy killing for you!
