Yesterday was the day that the sh-t hit the fan--a US Staff sgt went on the rampage and killed 16 civilians --9 being children ,we saw what happened when the US Army tore up the Koran, now we can look out for trouble with a capital T, this action has knocked any peace out there with the Afghan people, it is more likely they will now start supporting the Taliban, I only hope I am wrong for the sake of our troops as well as the other peace keeping forces out there.

Afghanistan deaths

Too true Dave.  Years of effort and hundreds of Coalition troop deaths and woundings going even more to waste because of some American either going mad or just acting like an idiot.  Which it is will probably never be truly known.  The best thing to happen would be a summary trial of the man and his execution in public.  We know that is very unlikely to happen so watch the death toll rise.

Hhhmmm!!!!

If the Taliban keep their reprisals to the US scum I cannot say that I will be particularly bothered. Most of those idiots are not what we know as ’Soldiers’ and their ethos and experience comes solely from Hollywood and how the US won every battle in history, including the Trojan War, Thermopolae, The Crimean, The Zulu wars, (particularly Rourke’s Drift-there were no Welshman there, really! They were all US actors).
This cretin’s actions will be in movie form within the year!

Afganistan Deaths

Well that’s a bit of generalization and many US Servicemen and Women are doing the best they can under the a bad situation its politicians who need to have the blame for this type of sad act by one individual! Remember the Coalition Troops a Geneva Convention tied to this war (don’t see the Taliban playing by the same rule?) which they cannot win while having so many restrictions rather let the Afghanistan sort their own mess out. Bring all the troops home!

Ever served alongside US forces, Kev???
I have and I only generalise when I have already satisfied myself that I know what I am talking about.
I totally agree with you as to who the thieving, oil hungry scumbags are who bear the responsibility for the mess.
All of the UK forces should be back here wasting the criminals of Westminster Palace.
