Blaming our troops
Afghan security forces, our supposed allies, are slaughtering American troops. Thirty-three soldiers have been killed by “green on blue” attacks this year alone. The situation is so bad that the training of Afghan forces has been temporarily suspended.
How has the Pentagon responded?
By blaming our troops.

To avoid offending them, US commanders are putting troops through intense Muslim sensitivity training. Among other things, they’ve been ordered to:
* Wear surgical gloves whenever handling a copy of the Koran.
* Never walk in front of a praying Muslim.
* Never show the bottom of boots while sitting or lying across from a Muslim, which in Islam is considered an insult.
* Never share photos of wives or daughters.
* Never smoke or eat in front of Muslims during the monthlong Ramadan fasting.
* Avoid winking, cursing or nose-blowing in the presence of Muslims — all viewed as insults in Islam.
* Avoid exiting the shower without a towel.
* Avoid offering and accepting things with the left hand, which in Islam is reserved for bodily hygiene and considered unclean.
Troops who violate the sensitivity rules face severe punishment.
Military officials who have done tours in Afghanistan are outraged that brass would even suggest US troops are partly to blame for their own murders.
“I would like to see a public affairs officer explain to the press where showing the bottom of your shoe to a Muslim or shaking with your left hand was legitimate grounds for murder,” growled one US Army official.

The intelligence official notes that if there are any truly obnoxious cultural offenses, they are committed by Afghan trainees quartered inside our bases.
“They like to stand on our toilets and poop all over them,” he said.
Why? They refuse to touch the toilet seats used by the “dirty infidels” they’re training and living with.

And there it is .. full blown PC and certifiable insanity! Subjecting our decent, brave and sane troops and forcing them to conform to the ways of these savage neanderthals!
Remember the deluge of patriotic folks who volunteered for the military after 9/11 under a resolute CIC, Pres. George W. Bush? Can you imagine ANYone submitting to this lunacy voluntarily now? If this continues .. we’ll probably be looking at another draft .. or we’ll just be a crippled, weak, a distant memory of this nation. God help us ..
