From the WSJ:

"Most Afghans learned about the Quran burning in Florida only when Mr. Karzai on March 24 (4 days after!) condemned the act as "a crime against the religion and the entire Muslim nation," called on the U.S. and the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice and demanded "a satisfactory response to the resentment and anger of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."

So who stirred it up? General Petraeus has certainly won Karzai's heart and mind. /s

You would think that having our female troops wear muslim hijabs instead of K-pots would have been enough to placate them.

Check out post #8.

As much as I dislike women in combat in general and women in combat with no head protection even less, these ladies do look like ass-kickers.

That gear of theirs sure looks new and purty... $;-)

Insanity.... More an more will die due such PC insanity unless we wade in full force an kill the enemy an leave their supporters to clean up the squalor of their own making they find themselves in.

Use of DOD assets should NEVER be used for nation building.

Side note....anyone sticks that noggin with such adornment on it out during a firefight packing a weapon I will shoot it.

Grrrrrrrrr.....

Two rhetorical questions: How can this possibly be in regs? and who convinced our soldiers that wearing that scarf is going to protect their heads better than a helmet? It screams ‘target me’.

That might be one way to placate them. But I can think of another way.
