Wearing the uniforms of another army during war is grounds to be shot on sight.

Then again those are the rules if we were fighting with a real man in charge. Or with a real army on the other side.

15 goat bumpers just managed to destroy millions of dollars worth of equipment. The base commander should be shot for this.

They went after the planes and fuel.

Iran has threatened to go into Kuwait.

Is Prince Salman still running things while Saudi King Abdullah is ill?/out of the country?

I think something big is about to happen...

15 Taliban Infiltrated in U.S. Army Uniforms

Let me guess ...
someone in the state department had the brilliant idea to give some afghans jobs doing laundry on the base.

Six coalition AV-8B Harrier jets were destroyed and two were significantly damaged

There aren't many spare Harriers and the production lines are closed. Could be a permanent loss to the Marines, who are the service that flies the Harriers.

Dressed in U.S. Army uniforms...

And how, pray tell, did these people just happen to come across more than a dozen U.S. Army uniforms? Just the most basic items is at least 5 items of clothing each. Did all of the boots just happen to all be the right size too or was somebody clunking around in size 8 feet in size 11 boots with socks stuffed in the toes?
Were they stripped from dead soldiers? Did they buy them at the PX? Did soldiers barter them for local items?

Just a few of the many questions this factoid raises.

Camp Bastion is situated in the middle of the desert with excellent visibility all around, it accommodates 28,000 mostly British personnel. Camp Leatherneck is the U.S. side of the Base. The bigger question is how were the Taliban able to penetrate a secure military base, with a perimeter fence, which is protected by hi-tech detection systems. The insurgents were wearing U.S. Army uniforms, the attackers toted automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests. Start using roving patrols with night vision goggles, flares, trip wires, Guard dogs, get out of this fortress mentality and start protecting yourselves! All this happened around 9/11, they picked this date for a reason. Don’t be as stupid as the State Department!
