Im talking specifically about Insurgents.


The amount of stupidity displayed by these insurgents is enough to make you run out of popcorn on a daily basis. Not only that, but their personal opinions on events and people is very revealing.

Yesterday some of us in our section were literally crying in tears over some of this stuff.


I can tell you this one story because it happened a little while back, but this is one example:


Afghan Natl Army forces came upon a pickup truck and it was unoccupied but had weapons in the trunk. This seemed suspicious and they did not want to approach it too closely. So this ANA captain decides its a good idea to RPG the pickup truck from a distance.

He fires.
He misses.
The projectile hits the tree next to the pickup truck
Insurgent that was hiding in the tree with a suicide bomb vest falls out and lands on the truck which explodes and only kills him.


Good stuff.

Sounds to me like he was correct in his assessment of the situation.

He didn't miss. Allah guided his hand.

If I saw a tree that was growing suicide bombers, I'd RPG it too.

No tightrope necessary. Its open-source

But thanks for looking out.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

Whew! I'm so relieved that we are spending billions of dollars to blow people out of trees! Clearly this is a just and rational war.
