US Army distributes guide to troops: "Avoid arrogance" and "respect Islam" in order to avoid attacks by Afghan soldiers

Denial, dhimmitude, subservience. What do you expect from today's military establishment? In reality, no amount of "respect for Islam" and humility from American troops will prevent these attacks, because the imperative for them is rooted in Islam's doctrines of warfare against unbelievers. But since the U.S. Army prefers to pretend that those doctrines don't exist, we get this.

"Pocket Guide Advises US Troops to 'Avoid Arrogance,' 'Respect Islam' in Order to Prevent 'Green on Blue' Attacks," from Truthout, August 24 (thanks to David):

US military personnel in Afghanistan have been told to "respect Islam, Koran or a mosque" and "Afghan women, elders and children" in order to prevent so-called "green on blue" attacks, where Afghan security forces turn their weapons on the coalition soldiers who have trained them, according to anunclassified Army pocket reference guide given to all US military personnel in the country obtained by Truthout. The reference guide, "Inside the Wire Threats - Afghanistan Green on Blue," referred to as a "smartcard," was distributed to military personnel in early February, right around the time "green on blue" attacks started to increase, along with a detailed "handbook " under the same name, which Truthout is seeking from US Army Training and Doctrine Command under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The handbook was the subject of a previous FOIA request filed in April by conservative author Bob McCarty. Last week, McCarty withdrew his request after he was informed a new FOIA exemption created with the passage of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizes "critical infrastructure security information" to be withheld unless a requester can justify why the public interest outweighs the withholding of those types of

I agree the “bright and shining LIE” for this generation seems to be if only we act like Muslim Dhimmi -if we Hate America as much as our leaders do —If we elevate Islam to a place of superiority —as our government has attempted to do—then they will see and will embrace us —Doesn’t seem to be working very good -Trust them but if your weapons are trained on them and you are willing to kill-if they even suggest a threat.

Can we just resurrect Patton and put him in charge, please?????

No doubt ol' George is spinning in his resting place like a top:

"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. George S Patton.

All this "Nation Building" and "Heats and Minds" crap is best left to the civilians AFTER we have won decisively and we should let the Military do what they do best: destroy things and kill people....period!!!

Afghan is starting to make Vietnam appear like a well-run and organized campaign, which had its share of stupid ROE's but none like this and I don't remember reading much of the ARVN turning on our troops and killing them?

Too bad all the armchair Generals and REMF in the Pentagon are now mostly political animals who would as soon follow the diktats of the hate America and Military Regime than look out for the troops; between them all they can't come up with a pair!

Hope Romney wins and brings them all home as we are wasting lives of our best, brightest and bravest for a lost cause.

In the time, I served proudly in the US Army. But today, I would let no relative of mine enlist in any of the Armed Forces. Ours is now a military that hounds, persecutes and imprisons soldiers and marines for killing the enemy. Two Seals were prosecuted for punching a terrorist in the nose. A soldier was prosecuted and imprisoned for letting his dog bark at—bark at, not bite—an imprisoned terror suspect. This is a military that allowed the mad dog Major Hussein to bark his hatred for months before turning a weapon on defenseless unarmed Gis. This is a military that has been turned into a giant playpen for sexual deviants. NEVER has our military been cursed buy a senior leadership so careerist and so unprincipled. A gaggle of prancing, puffed up moral cowards.

I wonder who is in charge of collecting all those testicles? The medical or admin types? Also, wonder if they can opt out of castration and take estrogen shots instead.

"Good thing I’m not president. I know what ICBMs, SLBMs, MRBMs and cruise missiles were made for."

Like I've often said, make me "King of the World for one week" and I'd have this rock turned right side up, not to mention our own Country.

I agree. It is a shame that we think we can impose “freedom” on people who have no desire for it, or the intellectual capacity for it. It just gifts the society to tyrants. And we allow our sons and daughters to die for such an impossible cause?

We should have allowed Patton to destroy Russia and set back the Marxism that has almost destroyed Europe now, and is attempting to enslave us.

Patton was so wise. He is absolutely spinning-—I could hear him yelling at the traitors who allowed the Vice of Sodomy to be “glorified” and “celebrated” by the brass. What evil times we will see because of the intentional removal of Virtue from the military.

Re: “CNN Whitewashes Pakistan’s Blasphemy Laws”

“An 11-year-old Down’s Syndrome girl who cannot even read has been beaten and charged with blasphemy in Pakistan for desecrating the quran, and CNN is treating the excuse for savagery that are Pakistan’s blasphemy laws as if they were legitimate statutes:

Explainer: Pakistan’s blasphemy laws CNN

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) - An 11-year-old girl is being accused of blasphemy in Pakistan. Her accusers says she burned pages from the Quran, Islam’s holy book. Now, she is being detained by authorities, and her family appears to be on the run.”

Re: LA Times and calls to restrict free speech”
“Here we come to the heart of (Nathan) Lean’s argument: he wants “society” to take action against those who stand for freedom and human rights against jihad, Sharia and Islamic supremacism, for we “must be stopped.” This is a veiled but clear call for restrictions on our freedom of speech — as clear as his threats against me. Lean, like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), wants speech critical of Islam to be criminalized. And the Los Angeles Times, to its everlasting discredit, publishes this.”

Re: “Pamela Geller, PJ Media: 1001 Pieces of Islamist Propaganda: Fabricated Exhibit Comes to D.C.”
“(J. Christian) Adams’ eight-year-old daughter seeing the exhibit, did not notice all the weasel words:

She was convinced that the Wright Brothers were not the first to fly, and instead it was Firnas launched from the mosque at Cordoba a millennium ago. This would not be the only instance when thought corrupted the language of the exhibit, which in turn corrupted thought, at least among the more impressionable.

By creating a children’s attraction, the exhibit is fostering a subliminal brainwashing that will move into the public schools as well.”
