USA home. Now.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

KABUL—A gunman in an Afghan Border Police uniform shot and killed six U.S. service members during a training mission in what appeared to be the latest and deadliest in a series of shootings of allied personnel by Afghan forces.
The gunman was killed in a subsequent shootout with coalition forces. Afghan officials and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization task force here said they were investigating the incident, which occurred Monday in the eastern province of Nangarhar.
But "such attacks will not deter our cooperation with [NATO] to provide security in Afghanistan," said Zemarai Bashary, the spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, which oversees the police.
NATO, in a statement, described the assailant as dressed "in an Afghan Border Police uniform," leaving open the possibility the gunman was not with the border police but rather an infiltrator in disguise—a tactic the Taliban have previously used.
A U.S. official later said the six people killed were U.S. service members, the Associated Press reported.
Hours after the shooting, the Taliban took credit for the killings, saying the gunman had infiltrated the border police with the sole intent of killing foreign soldiers.

We need to make this SOB dead.
“We need to make this SOB dead.”
He’s dead, Jim.
According to the report, “The gunman was killed in a subsequent shootout with coalition forces.”
To many, way to many. Tears.

From now on, they don’t get live ammo and their mags are checked until they are trained. If they are on a firing range, they get one bullet at a time, the gun is chained and restricted from much movement, like the old arcade games.
USA home. Now.
That's Step 1. Step 2 involves around the clock B-52 strikes.
No quarter. No mercy. No regrets.
Find his family and village. You know the rest.
If you can identify the guy you go to his home town and tear down his family’s house, destroy all their belongings and shoot all the livestock.
That is if we had an administration that was serious about winning.
That’s what the Israelis started doing and I think the number of suicide attacks have gone down.
Bulldoze his mother’s home.
It works for the Israelis.
Isn’t that a warcrime?
The media has a dog in this fight and it isn’t U.S..
Some leftwing terrorist sympathizing group will add him to some list decrying how he wasn’t even given the protections of a court trial in New York...
*tears*
Prayers for the Fallen and their families..
Got a Grandson in the Guard that thought he was heading that way...but transferred to a Guard unit ...due to job and other personal reasons.....which had just returned from Iraq and won't be redeployed for some years.
Makes me feel better.
And give up all those secret nuclear sub bases we've developed???!!!
Where are the sub bases in Afghanistan?
The cuurent administration is only interested in losing. Thats what the “Peace Prize” was for.
They’re SECRET! If I knew then everyone would know and it would just ruin our whole reason for being there!
