Over the past several days there have been news stories here in Afghanistan about the Taliban strangling an 8-year-old boy. The reports say that his father refused to turn over a police vehicle to the enemy, and so they murdered his son. Late last night, a courageous Afghan journalist named Mustafa Kazemi emailed an image of the boy that Mustafa said had been murdered. Afghans are enraged. They hate this behavior as much as we do. The boy appears to have had his eyes gouged out before being strangled to death
And so last night I walked to the Headquarters of 4-4CAV here in Zhari District, the most active district in Afghanistan at this time. I asked what was going on tonight. A noncommissioned officer filled me in on the day’s events. We had been in a minor ambush resulting in a slight injury and a damaged MRAP, so I knew about that one. But then he explained about a boy whom he said the Taliban forced to step on an IED just down the road from here. Apparently, according to Afghans, the Taliban may have been testing a new bomb made from a soda bottle. The boy’s name is Jalil, and our people estimate that Jalil is 6 to 8-years-old. Jalil was picking grapes with his brother when the Taliban, according to reporting, told the boy to step on the bomb. It blew off his

Mass murderers, rapists, pedophiles, polygamists, pirates, slave-traders, thieves, torturers, unspeakably cruel tyrants, indescribably evil, bloody, genocidal savages.
Just like their “prophet” Mohamed.
Actually, I wonder about that.

My husband is over there right now. Before he left he asked me if I would look at him differently if he had to shoot a kid in a circumstance such as this one. The country is just damned over there. It’s never going to get better, is it?
I trust your answer was satisfactory?
Not with bammy as CIC.
Warrior Wife;
Remind yourself and your husband that enemy combatants are just that. Combatants.
Thank you for your sacrifice, and the service of your husband.

It can but there’s no guarantee. With war, personal pain can block the abilty to see the good being done. We might not see it in our lifetime, but as your husband serves his conscience then it’s bound to work out for the better.

It’s this kind of stuff that breaks my heart to the core. I’m tough, I did 3 tours, but I cannot stand to see children hurt, they are completely trusting most of the time, and they can’t fathom why someone would want to hurt them. If I had my way, I’d land some planes, and pull the women and children out and then make the place cease to exist.
Oh, yes. I believe my answer satisfied him. I probably shouldn’t post what my reply was to him for fear that some liberal person would repost it as evidence that we military folk are heartless people. I know he is seeing some tough things over there.
