Exactly how many bombs is it going to take to bomb these Afghans happy again? Ungrateful cunts.
Not everyone on that thread is a racist lunatic advocating nuking the entire country though. Check out the progressive view.
One of the biggest hurdles is the hearts and minds of the local populace.You do not get that by dropping bombs from planes on weddings. Or on houses containing women and children.To me, that is unacceptable. With more soldiers perhaps we can stop bombing civilian areas and send troops in who can see and select their targets. Yes it is more risky for our guys with more casualties but we must show respect if we want it shown back. The aggressors dont get that by putting their lives first.

It’s certainly a brave and generous gesture and would definitely win those hearts and minds. However, as a true progressive, I think we should go even further. Grateful though they might be for the opportunity to be shot in the face rather the back, why not poison them with some kind of lovely gas that makes them fall asleep before they die? It’s up to us as benevolent, left-leaning westerners to do this whole thing as humanely as possible, otherwise we’ll lose the respect of these charming little Afghan chappies forever.

He’s not suggesting that… that… that we’re the bad guys..? Is he?
Still not progressive enough Nelson.
Clearly you drop gas that just makes them sleep.
Then the troops go in and search everyone (another positive here, sleeping civilians involved don’t cry assault when they see you ‘feeling up’ their mates), identify the ones with AK47s stuffed down the left leg of their wedding suits, shoot them in the face (but they’re asleep, so won’t feel it – win-win if ever there was one), and remove their corpses before releasing a slow acting antidote gas that wakes up the survivors leaving them to find the complementary fruit basket that you’ve left behind.
I’m not sure you would ever get permission to drop gas on croydon though? other than that, an excellent plan.
Nothing says respect like a bullet in the face.
Sorry but “complementary fruit basket” has just made me snort tea out of my nose!
Damn you for being funny!!!!
If they didn’t want to be shot/bombed/gassed/replaced with a complementary fruit basket, then they shouldn’t be non-white. Or non-English, for that matter.
I’m only saying what everyone (on HYS) thinks.
We are obviously making it far too easy for our soldiers. What we should do is grossly under-equip our troops by giving them SA80 rifles that jam in hot dusty weather, Land Rovers with insufficient armour, not enough suits of body armour to go around, too few helicopters so that they have to deploy on booby-trapped roads, piss-poor hospitals so that wounded soldiers have to share wards with civilians, airborne reconnaissance planes prone to fuel leaks and mid-air explosion…
… hang on a minute, the Taleban must really, really respect our troops already.
Very true. If you dropped a large modern bomb on a Pashtun wedding, you’re not likely to get enough soft organs to make a decent-sized hurdle.
You might be able to scoop the hearts and minds into some sort of ethnic bag and play polo with them. That would endear you to local Afghans because its sensitive to their culture, according to The Man Who Would Be King anyway.
I am confused as to how you can hurdle or play polo with a mind as opposed to a brain. Surely the mind quality, whatever it consists of, is no longer present by the time the still-warm brain is scooped out of the skull?
Mim, if I ripped the hard-drive out of your computer, would all the software travel to where the dead software goes? The programs would stop running, but all they are made from would still be there. Precisely the same for the human brain. Prob’ly.
Materialist.
So a non-functioning mind that can’t ever function again is still a mind? How about when it gets whacked with that mallet?
I love you a bit?
Careful Jimmy, she eats children and can turn into a pink dragon.
Of course, if you go for that sort of thing…
Is she related to Chorlton?
I just don’t get what it is with the US military and their habit of napalming wedding parties.
I have this terrible suspicion that it might be to do with some new militarised makeover TV show for Fox. Called something like ‘Queer Eye for the straight GI.’
Instead of camply carping at the poorly-dressed Afghani bridegroom and taking him clothes shopping, they express their disapproval by machine-gunning the bridesmaids and ‘transform’ his appearance by dropping a cluster munition onto his noggin. Then carpet-bomb the area with Louis Vuitton accessories.
So… we should only be bombing houses with men in them? What about cretins? Can we bomb them?

I fear dear fartknocker has been frequenting too many of his window lickingly good fast-food outlets as he left this sentence incomplete.
Who knows what pearls have been omitted but here’s a suggestion as to what might have been…
“One of the biggest hurdles in the Ed Gein memorial stakes, is the hearts and minds of the local populace.”
Love your post! This totally destroys the myth that a bunch of guys with guns can ever bring peace or ‘democracy’ to another country.
