General Sir Charles James Napier, GCB (10 August 1782 29 August 1853), was a general of the British Empire and the British Army's Commander-in-Chief in India, notable for conquering the Sindh Province in what is now Pakistan.
General Charles Napier when dealing with sutte, the Indian custom of burning a widow on her husbands funeral pyre: You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
"the human mind is never better disposed to gratitude and attachment than when softened by fear." - General Charles Napier
Perhaps we need some new customs of our own when dealing with a few hundred troublemakers who incite others into a murderous frenzy.

If he DARES to do this, the military should go into full mutiny. Period.

So very happy I did NOT serve under this pagan and anti-American President. Just considering turning these soldiers over suggests we ought NOT have a single Military man -woman -or ? serving in Trashcanistan.The 0— are you listening congressman Jim Moron? can go to He__ . The Democrat in the White House claims his apologies have saved lives— I prefer what Congressman Allen West has said as much more reasoned and TRUE.

Recall the dust-up a few months ago re: Status of Forces Agreement between Afghan government and NATO? AS I recall, these agreements cover exactly this status.

I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for murdering thousands of Americans on 9/11. I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for their collaboration with Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for the way they’ve slaughtered Jews, Coptic Christians, and Iraqi Catholics.
Puh-leeze.

Next time somebody gets the bright idea to nation build in a country committed to the 7th century, send 30,000 laptops with a good internet connection, instead of 30,000 troops.Good one

The US Govt is the most sharia-compliant organization in the world. It does more to promote deference to Islam and compliance with Muslim sensibilities than Osama Bin Laden ever hoped to achieve.Sad, but becoming true.

Nope. Because he isnt that stupid. I agree. He's a real box of rocks on some things, but he knows what would get him run out of town on a rail.

Likely try them in a military court there but beyond an article 15, I cant see anything reasonable.We're going to criminalize an honest mistake?
If these soldiers are turned over to Afghan authority, then it's an impeachable offense IMO.
If I were POTUS, the CG in Afghanistan would have been relieved, and I would have repeated the response of Gen. McAuliffe to the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge:
Nuts!
