Struggling for respect, Afghan troops irked by vintage weapons, shoddy boots, ev...

We should NOT give them a damn thing because our own veterans are feeling VA cutbacks .

In time what we give them will simply be taken by Taliban and used against us or sold in black market .

As I recall, wasn't it the Korean non-war that our boys were supplied with outdated crap? Even the c rations were from WW2.
And I remember when our boys in Vietnam had decent weapons, and our government replaced them with guns that mis-fired and jammed. I don't know who the rich people were that made big bucks off that rip off, but they murdered a lot of our boys.
I wouldn't be surprised if these same rich people have gone through warehouses and dug out supplies from the Vietnam episode to supply the afgans, and charged big to U.S. to buy junk as they usually do.
So why do these ungrateful jerks think they should have as good as our people??? They can stick this demand for "respect". I haven't read much about them showing any respect for our troops who die for them. All I hear is they want us out of there as much as I want us out of there. They just want our money and goods for free. To hell with them all.

maybe they want better weapons to shoot our troops as they have done lately?the lame stream media doesent say much when the afghan police shoots our guys?WHY?

I think obama tries to keep that news from us with the election coming and the large amount of us that want our troops out of there.
