Marines ban farting to avoid offending Muslims

There are so many weird aspects of this story. Don't these Marines have mothers, or someone in their lives who told them as children that audible passing of gas was offensive? And the high command has to tell them to cut it out because it offends Afghans, as if such a reaction were different from that of any normal person? And unfortunately, the friendly-fire jihad attacks by Afghans that regularly punctuate the working relationship between U.S. and Afghan troops are not going to be ended by this small gesture in "trust building." "For Marines in Afghanistan: be careful where you fart," by Gina Cavallaro in Military Times, August 23 (thanks to David):

I am going to bring the fight to the home front given the restrictions placed on our Marines. I am going on a strict diet of pork and beans and I shall release myself at the local 7-11.

In a sane media world, this would be a front page story. Here on FR, this has to qualify.
Well, it certainly IS "breaking"....

Seriously? I worked with Afghan nationals and they had the ability to stink up a room with methane to the gagging point.
