Seems like Hell is getting much, much closer to Earth these days.

I expect one day in the very near future, it’s going to be here.

It is here already, we are just pretending it’s way over there. Time to wake up before we are eliminated by our “friends”.

“The Afghan national pictured was shot dead by a British guardsman as he tried to flee the scene.”

" Why so many threads these days w/o at least one pic from the article? Many are doing it. "

-----------------

The "many" whom you say are posting pics, or images, cartoons and material from copyright restricted or blocked sites, are placing Free Republic at risk of copyright infringement lawsuits which in turn will lead to "many" substantial bills from attorneys, often payable in advance.

Please help us out here by not becoming one of the "many."

Your pic from the Daily Mail UK must be removed because material from the Daily Mail UK has to be excerpted, yet photos and cartoons are impossible to excerpt, thus they cannot be posted to Free Republic.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you in advance for your cooperation. Thank you.

Why do the Afghans in the pictures look like they have gone to the bathroom in their pants? Weird pictures.

Because the guy knew he was about to be in a gunfight against soldiers and most likely, not live to celebrate it.

I was reading a forum last night from men that were fixing to deploy and they were asking questions of multiple deployment ops and the one thing they advised was, “Smile at the afghans... let them think you like them... take care of the few that help you but never turn your back on them for even a second... because they guy that is smiling with you for a photo could be thinking about killing you”.

“oddly , the article does not mention what happened to the two killers”.......

The Afghan shooter met his Waterloo when he tried to escape the area. Dead!
