Just keep doing that good civilian police work, General. Our civilian leadership doesn’t have the will to fight and is prepared to have its authorities call your soldiers “civilian” “males” and keep them unemployed after their return. Welcome to the decline of Rome 2.0.

Am glad the Commander has spoken up. ..and out. This is insane and of course; not even a 'head nod' by Obama. Oh, that's right; Obama is a busy man. . .

And yes; he already should have a 'visitor' by now. . .Let the 'consult' begin.

"The enemy recognizes this is a vulnerability. You know, in Iraq, the signature weapon system that we hadn't seen before was the IED

I do believe that is not true....Vietnam saw many IED deaths.

“Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, says he’s “mad as hell” about the increasing number of insider attacks, in which Afghan soldiers and police murder the Americans who are trying to train them. “

While he gets credit for being “mad as hell” now (Hoping for actual action as a result - but it’s not clear he will act), where was COL. John Allen? Where was LtCol. John Allen on this subject?

One would have thought that stupid ROE would have been noticed before he became a General Officer - unless, of course, he just kept his mouth shut and let troops under his command be murdered rather than treat the enemy as the enemy until he was selected for General.

How many better officers than he were denied the promotion to general he got because they, perhaps, made too many waves internally about letting soldiers under their command get murdered - and were quietly put out to pasture as an 05 or 06 as a result?

He shows a definitive lack of generalship. Then again, all too many of them do these days when politics trumps leadership in getting to that lofty rank.

Then, you must start to kill.

You must kill them by the tens of thousands, destroy their houses, destroy their likelihoods, destroy their families. Death, massive death is the solution to the problem.
