[QUOTE=kaven;39702557]Guys why are you arguing about american special forces when this was done by afghans under temporary american command according to the article?[/QUOTE]
Command is the key word there, i.e. they were being told what to do.

Fair enough, though the word command is usually used very loosely.

Looking the stuff the US has done around the world, mainly through people like the CIA, recruiting Afghanis to 'disappear' and torture people really doesn't seem that unlikely.

Perhaps, I would like to refrain from judgement until all the details have been revealed, though I suspect that if it actually was the US troops that commanded them, we would not get many details.
[QUOTE=BurnBlackJay;39702537][i]What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.[/i]

Don't say another Goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.
[QUOTE=SKEEA;39701691]See this is why I wanted to avoid trying to bring my firsthand experience into this sort of thing. You all go on and on about how I just fixed helicopters. That is true, that is my primary job. However, this does not mean that I am shut in a tiny bubble out on the flight line. I actually go to other places, have friends in special units, talk and interface with the other soldiers that we work with, and see the footage that the warrants record on the MMS (Mast Mounted Sight, the ball on top of the Kiowa), helmet cams, and their handheld cameras. I was around Special Forces a lot. So yeah, my job has about zero bearing on my firsthand experience. I have two eyeballs and a set of ears. My job does not change what I have seen and heard.

This thread should get a reward for degrading into a stupid argument faster then most threads I've seen.
It normally takes, like, three posts, this degraded in two.
[QUOTE=SKEEA;39701870]Anyways, I am out of here. I need to take a buddy to the PX, so that's all from me.[/QUOTE]
Coming from the guy with the military pony avatar clearly ducking out before he looks any dumber.
[QUOTE=SKEEA;39701221]This will do more harm than good in the long run.[/quote] For them anyway. Can only do good for us getting the fuck out of that shithole, we never had any business going there in the first place. [quote] If you guys are not aware, Karzai is corrupt and pretty crazy.[/quote] He's a politician, he's required to be that way to get office. They're all fucked up. [quote] This will come back to bite him in the ass when we leave, and Wardak will still be a hive of insurgent activity.[/QUOTE] And America should just shrug and go on with life. What the Taliban does is despicable, sure, but it's not our job to be world police, 'specially after we've already pissed off the majority of that part of the world. They would rather have the Taliban, so it's about time we respect that choice and leave them to the Taliban.

There's always that one guy...

Not really. I am being 100% serious, I really had to take him to the PX. He has no car of his own, and I am kind of the designated driver of my unit. I give a lot of people rides.
