When members of the Afghanistan National Army or the Afghan police open fire on American or NATO troops the event is called “Green on Blue” Incident. Blue on Green is the war on terror’s polite term for Friendly Fire, but let’s be honest our soldiers are being murdered by the people we liberated. The number of Green on Blue incidents has been on the rise with at least 80 coalition troops having been killed by “friendly” Afghans since 2009. Twenty six NATO Soldiers have been killed including 13 Americans in 19 attacks so far in 2012.

Latest Incidents

Last week treacherous Afghans killed three British soldiers at a safe checkpoint in the Helmand province, The gunman was later wounded and captured by British forces. (5) According to reliable reports it is unlikely that the gunman was affiliated with the Taliban. Five Americans have been wounded after being fired upon by a member of the Afghan Army. The soldiers were medevac’d and the shooter escaped into the eastern Wardak province and is still hiding. Afghan forces are not immune to such attacks from within their own ranks in what is called Green on Green attacks.

Taliban

The Taliban often claim responsibility for the Green on Blue attacks, but most of these incidents seem to be carried out by undisciplined disgruntled soldiers turning his frustration against the people who are tasked to train them to kill the enemy. The Taliban are claiming credit for these attacks to intimidate tribal leaders in the rural regions. All they have to do is wait till the Americans leave, declare victory and punish the Afghans left behind who dared to oppose the Jihad.

Exactly WTF is causing otherwise claiming-to-be reasonable people to not understand Islam?

This is not the difference between Methodists and Baptists, Presbyterians and Catholics; or even Jews and Christians. The difference is that strict Islam teaches that The Infidel must submit to The Will of Allah; IOW be converted or killed. The not-so-strict, or "moderate" Muslim believes that The Infidels must be taxed, have no rights, and must follow Sharia in a Muslim-run country. The moderate Muslim "sensibly" thinks that since The Infidels will be his slaves for all eternity in Paradise anyway, they might as well be made use of to further Islam while they are on the planet. Not only that, the " Moderate Muslim" will fully support the JIHAD of his immoderate co-religionists to the extent of buying them the bombs and bullets they need to complete their vision..

As the Late Great Rodney King might have expressed it, "Can't we All Just Wake TF UP?" Our ancestors divided the world into "Islam," and "Christendom."

Newsflash!
Our ancestors were not stupid.

I always felt in the beginning that Afghanistan should have been completely bombed out of existence right after 9/11. Still think I was right.

As sad as I am to see him give up his plan to serve in and retire from the Marine Corps, I thank God that my son is getting out of the military to take civilian job. After 3 tours in Afghanistan, he has remained relatively unscathed, with only some hearing loss, a bad knee and some lacerations.

I had a sense he might not be as lucky a fourth,

Democracy doesn’t cure Islam, and we haven’t liberated Muslims from anything that they won’t go back to.

It’s Green on Blue nd Blue on Green in Afghanistan and it’s Back on Black in Chicago..

Safer in Afghanistan than on your front porch or selling lemonade in Chicago.

Don’t worry though, Blacks aren’t worried, unless it’s a white Hispanic doing the shooting.

What’s a neocon to do! Its obvious that nation building HAS NEVER AND WILL NOT WORK so we should withdraw? Oh wait! That means we ‘lost” the war and we need to do...”something.” - shakes head.

We never should have attempted nation building in that hell hole. Thank Dubya for that lunacy. Osama is dead, AQ is pretty much done. Just leave and let the savages kill each AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
