These “green-on-blue” murders keep happening because there is no reliable way to distinguish an Afghan Muslim who supports American troops from one who wants to murder them, and political correctness prevents authorities from making any attempt to do so anyway because it would suggest that Islam is not a religion of peace. So ever more U.S. troops are sacrificed to this madness.
“Afghan soldier shoots, wounds 3 US troops in insider attack,” by Lynne O’Donnell and Rahim Faiez, Associated Press, April 8, 2015:
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan soldier opened fire on U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Wednesday, wounding three before he was shot dead by American troops, an official and an eyewitness said.
The incident happened after a meeting between Afghan provincial leaders and a U.S. Embassy official in the compound of the provincial governor in the city of Jalalabad, according to Gen. Fazel Ahmad Sherzad.
U.S. officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
It is the second insider attack this year. An Afghan soldier killed three American contractors on January 29. The shooter was also killed in that incident.
Sherzad, who is police chief for eastern Nangarhar province, said the incident happened immediately after the meeting and the embassy official has left.
“Right after the U.S. official had left, suddenly an Afghan army soldier opened fire on the U.S. soldiers who were present in the compound,” Sherzad told The Associated Press.
The American troops returned fire, killing the Afghan soldier, whom Sherzad identified as Abdul Azim, from Laghman province.
The motive for his attack was not immediately known.
Information was sketchy and an eyewitness told the AP that four U.S. troops had been wounded in the attack — not three as Sherzad said — and were being treated at a clinic on the American base in Jalalabad.
The witness, an Afghan interpreter working with the U.S. troops, said that no U.S. soldiers had died in the incident.
“Only the ANA (Afghan National Army) soldier died, we killed him straight away,” said the witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to media.
Earlier, an Afghan official said two people were killed and three wounded in an ambush late Tuesday aimed at police in eastern Kunar province, where the Taliban have a strong presence.
Farid Dhekhan, the spokesman for the provincial police chief, said the attack, which occurred in Narang district, targeted a police vehicle, which escaped unharmed. The dead were a man and woman from the same family, Dhekhan said, speaking on Wednesday….

The USA has been in a near constant state of warfare since the end of WWII, and has absolutely nothing to show for it. No victories.
Nothing.

Totally false. The USA has led the creation and democratization of dozens of countries that are now functioning democracies. You expect perfection from peoples who were living in the stone age fifty years ago? Westerners haven’t achieved perfection yet, thought the American system is very stabile and resilient. If a group of Americans from disparate cultures can succeed, there is hope that others can as well with a good national constitution and hard work. The American experiment has not been all smooth sailing. Your grasp of history is extremely poor.
greycat says
This comment confuses me…..Afghanistan has a Sharia (Law) based constitution..which would go against any Muslim getting training from an American soldier who is training him, to not view him as the enemy. Words like democracy, freedom have other meanings in Sharia law. Why did the U.S. government accommodate this Sharia Law, and then send soldiers to be among the enemy.???

There’s a civil war going on in Afghanistan for your information.

This is why we should not send even one soldier to these hell halls as we do not know who the enemy is. JW readers know that Islam is the enemy but not a big portion of the world population. Until we define the enemy I am against sending any soldier of ours to these hells on earth.
Also what is wrong with our Generals in the army. Are they also brainwashed that they think America is the problem. Why don’t they go and talk to Obama about what really is going on with Islam Are they also traitors like Obama? I don’t understand this stupid adventues of sending our youth to Moslem countries to be killed for what. Strange times we are living in.

They will be purged, and at the end of the day the vast majority of people don’t want to be martyrs no matter how noble the cause is. When the chips are down at the end of the day the overwhelming majority of people will choose their careers, their families, and the almighty dollar over a noble cause. This is an unfortunate reality of being human. Even if they speak out, it wouldn’t change a thing. They would be purged, and the establishment would hire a Brennan like creature to wag their fingers at the extremists within the military and spout P.C nonsense to the masses.

One out of seven US KIAs in Afghanistan are Green-on-Blue: US trained Afghan troops turning their guns on us.
We have not the time, money, or method to sort out the good Muslims from the bad Muslims. And are there any “good” Muslims anyway? Any person buying into the evil contained between the covers of the Quran has a heart and soul manipulated by demons.
We all know there are no moderate Muslims. ISIS are perfect Muslims, just doing what their book tells them to do, which is exactly what their prophet modeled for them. ISIS are role models for all Muslims, hence the staggering levels of recruitment Worldwide. If Mohammad were alive today, he’d be ISIS. There’s nothing “radical” at all about ISIS or the Iranian “Death to America” doctrine. This is standard Islam.
Anyone acting like a “peaceful” Muslim and not emulating Mohammad is not a Muslim. He’s an apostate.
For our grandfathers, Germans weren’t the problem so much as their Naziism ideology. Once they extinguished the evil ideology, the World could then live in peace with Germans.
Less than one-third of Germans were Nazis. Our grandfathers also didn’t have the time, money, or method to sort out the good Germans from the bad ones. So they essentially killed every German in sight (man, woman, and child) until the Germans surrendered their Nazi ideology.
There was no “radical” or “moderate” form of Naziism, and it could not be reformed. To pretend otherwise meant we’d have lost.
Unlike our Bible, which was written by men, Muslims consider the Quran to be the literal word of their deity. And nobody gets to debate Allah. A reformation would deny the initial “perfection” of Allah’s word and Mohammad as the ideal man. This will never happen; not in 100 years; not in 10,000 years.
If we want to win this World War against Islam, we must confront it with the same strategy as our grandfathers used to win WWII. The objective should be the extinction of Islam. I did not say Muslims, I said Islam. It’s an ideology incompatible with a free civilization, and demands the genocide of all non-Muslims, which we see being played out in front of our eyes right now.
Islam is Sedition and Conspiracy to Murder, which are crimes anywhere on Earth. We have neither the gold nor military to invade and occupy every Muslim sovereignty on the globe. But, we can force every Muslim sovereignty to criminalize Islam, making the practice or promotion of it a capital offense.
Like cockroaches, we can never eliminate every Muslim. But we can exclude them from societies, forcing them to live like animals in caves if they wish to maintain their loyalty to Satan. Not even their patriarch Bin Laden could handle that indefinitely; hence the compound with TVs, computers, electricity, and toilets.
I believe we can erase Islam from Earth inside of two weeks, for less than $7 Billion.
The only solution I see in my military mind is Incremental Random Strategic Area Bombing. Incremental, to give them time to re-think their loyalty to Satan (3 days between strikes). And Random, such that no one knows where to hide, making every Muslim on Earth believe he and his family could be next.
Our objective should be worldwide criminalization of Islam. As long as we get full cooperation and compliance from Sovereign governments, we could even leave those governments intact. The pressure from the citizenry upon their leaders to comply with Allied terms will be intense.
The Japanese High Command, along with the Japanese and German citizenry, all cited the relentless destruction of their cities as the #1 reason for their surrender.
We’d use standoff nuclear ordnance as the weapon. This affords us the efficacy we need, saves Allied Soldiers’ lives, and offers the shock & awe effect we need to make Muslims fear and respect us, and convince them that the forces of righteousness are superior to their fictitious false idol Allah and his insane prophet.
The first strike on Day One should include all Iranian nuke production facilities, as well as the Pakistani nuke arsenal. Targeting hardware first, but threatening population centers later.
Ideally, we’d also have an alliance between all non-Muslim states, to include Israel, NATO (sans Turkey), China, India, and Russia, among others. They all hate Muslims too. Islam threatens all of us. Either we eliminate the problem now, or we hand our children an exponentially worse and more desperate situation, where nuke weapons, and the use of them, is much more widespread among Muslims than it is now.
Let’s face it. Lots of people are going to die before the dust settles with this epic conflict. Better them than us. The Muslims started this, but we must finish it, for our children’s sake.
Darren says
I agree, but how do you escape human nature? Some power will decide to use the muslims as a proxy against their enemies. The only thing I can think of to unite world powers, is to make a business deal. We split their resources equally. Then our respected governments can begin the massive PR blitz to get the rest of the masses behind an action that even though would benefit them, would be very hard to sell. I doubt it will ever happen.
The western world lacks the political capital to make such an event happen, and the eastern world is more likely to use them as a proxy against us. Then again we use muslim proxy armies all the time, and it usually ends in tears, so the West are certainly no saints especially when it comes to using jihadist proxy armies. You are viewing things from a military mind, remember don’t forget to factor in human nature and especially the nature of those who seek or are in power into the equation.

This sort of thing did not happen in the British Indian army
Maybe the US military should do some reading about how that venerable institution kept the peace in British India for so many years.

The motive for his attack was not immediately known.
The media has been clueless since 9/11.After each terrorist act since, they run around trying to find some motive, but are unable to do so.
