Another US death by ANP
The Associated Press is reporting yet another death of a US serviceman in Afghanistan by three terrorists in Afghan National Police uniforms today.
Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, confirmed the death, and said that the three Afghan shooters fled and are being sought. Although they were wearing police uniforms, it was not yet clear if they were actually Afghan forces or just had the clothing.
Other U.S. officials said that as many as eight U.S. troops were injured, mostly with fairly minor wounds.
But, see there’s no evidence to the Afghan government or to the US government that this is a coordinated effort by the Taliban or al Qaeda, or the Haqqanis. So we can take solace in the fact that it’s just a coincidence that a score of these attacks have happened so far this year.
Here’s my question; at least nine Americans were congregated around these guys and all three of them got away. So why were there at least nine Americans in Afghanistan without weapons?

Depending on where this happened, they did have weapons, in the form of an M-4 shaped club…
One of our teams returned from there a couple of months ago, and they weren’t allowed to carry loaded on the FOB. They couldn’t even have a mag in the mag well and the TL was telling me that a lot of people don’t even carry a mag with them.
I think ANP escort is just the sort of job David Hemler needs to do as penance for his lack of integrity. We’ll even let him not carry a weapon according to his beliefs.
Like it. Like it a LOT, Ann.
Because US Soldiers and Marines have less rights to self defense in Afghanistan under Obozo than they have here in the US. They didn’t fire because they have recieved the “teachable moment” from SFC Walter Taylor’s predicament. Our military, as it was under Clinton and Carter, is not currently s war fighting force – it is a social engineering and reeducation program for yokels from the interior – it is a federal jobs program.
I remember being there for the Lash Kar Gah shooting in May ’11, these cunts from Kabul were dispatched to attempt to profile the shooter to complie the data into a matrix to give commanders “early warning” on trends. We were all interviewed about the shooter Mo. D.
“Do you remember anything Mo D was strange…” yea he was an Afghan.
“Did he ever say anything or do anything which made you suspicious?” ….yea he was an Afghan.
“Did he every exhibit actions demonstrative of violence”… YEA HE WAS A FUCKING AFGHAN.
-The Afghan PEOPLE, and this is a blanket statement for the entire Pashtun people… can suck a giant cock full of poison. Never before in my life, nor will I again, encounter a larger population, of inbred, drug addicted, super violent child rapists. All of them, cannot die, soon enough.
“Halt or I’ll click” – one of our oldest military traditions. I always wonder if someday we’ll dig up some Continental Congress order stating that “troops on guard duty may not have a flint in their musket until ordered to do so to prevent accidental discharges”
“Halt or I’ll click” – one of our oldest military traditions. I always wonder if someday we’ll dig up some Continental Congress order stating that “troops on guard duty may not have a flint in their musket until ordered to do so to prevent accidental discharges” Dollars to doughnots there wasn’t one live round between any of those wounded, probably by order of the local commander following his ROE.
Nos. 1, 4, 6, 7:
Sounds like some situations in The Vietnam War Rules Of (DO NOT) “Engage-ment.”
(just sayin’)
I do not know when this began.
