That’s not cool, seeing our women dressed in modified, ass-kissing burkas.

Our troops are not in that business anymore. It’s the New COIN, coined by Petreus. Armed Peace Corps. Hearts and Minds on steroids. Enemy can put down a weapon in a firefight and walk away, we can’t shoot them. WE let them try try again until they kill some of us. That is the Petreaus Plan: to convert them to niceness by our display of niceness. Medals for taking bullets without firing back.
