I called it, Rethink Afghanistan now targeting Tanks.
A few days ago I made this comment about Rethink Afghanistan targeting out air support.
I imagine that at this rate there will be protests that we are using lethal rounds when fighting that might go astray.
Well now my fears are not unfounded with this new story from Rethink Afghanistan.
NOT WORTH IT: Each tank sent to Afghanistan War cost taxpayers $4 million
Yep now direct fire support cost too much, except that now we are only sending 13 tanks over there. But lets review. First they were against drones, then against Special Operations units, then the manned air strikes and now we are targeting Tanks. What next, the MRAP’s?
It is bad enough that we are getting our legs kicked out from under us an wonder why we are having trouble standing.

It seems that the HIMARS rocket launcher is not worth it ether.

there’s only a few places in the Stan you CAN use tanks (mostly in the south). But, honestly if these Jacktards want to “rethink” the Stan, how about they offer SOLUTIONS. Till then they are just a waste of O2 and produce far too much CO2 (a DANGEROUS GREENHOUSE GAS!!!) from all their hot air.
I’ve got IT! How about Rethink Afghanistan, goes to Afghanistan and shows us how its done.
Next will be the MRE’s. . . . .
OK, I can get behind protests against MREs. Except for the Chili Mac or the Jerk Chicken.
Mmmmmmmm, Chili Mac!! Best farts in town right there!!
You want to see a bunch of Marines brawling like elementary school kids? Put two chili mac MREs out there and watch the fun begin.
Does this organization have any actual political pull or are they akin to the crazy hobo on the corner with a sandwich board saying the end is nigh? I really hate groups like this they are ok with giving us a fixed deck and then wonder why we are losing. Maybe it’s time the rethink employment.
I do not think so, I have been following them because I have a friend from 2009 that I have been talking to that has taken more and more a active role with them. If he was not cross putting I would miss a lot of what they put out.
At some point, idiots like this are going to start demanding that we use “non-lethal” ammunition just like the cops do. Can you imagine trying to fight AK47s and RPGs with beanbag rounds out of a 12ga? Don’t laugh. It might come to that…
