I am sure they will do their duty and have a safe return home.

Negotiating with the Taliban is useless.

The Taliban are terrorists. The only thing they understand is a bullet.

So let’s make them all understand a lot more.

Actually the religious method works much better when you send them to Allah.

I found it interesting to read the reader comments to the article.

It seemed just like home.

All but two of the commenter's would be welcome here on FR and the two that would not be welcome would be told to go join the KOS Kiddies.

Lance corporal Connor Grant is somewhat of a celebrity, he was in on almost every scene in Ross Kemp’s Return to Afghanistan documentary .. originally aired Feb 1 2009 to March 1 2009.

It was a freeper who first turned me on to that documentary... it is highly recommended.
