Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."

We should politely ask them to move into an open area so that no ones feelings will be hurt....

Forces are also thinking of switching their M-4's in for the new pointer finger with thumb trigger attachment.

We'll have to trade our black guns in for pink ones so as to be less hostile looking...

will soon order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding among villagers,
I read this "US and NATO Forces"

Doesn't say anything about Afghan or Afghan "Advised" forces. Let's see where this leads.

McChrystal is no dummy. Winning hearts and minds comes to mind.

WOW!

So the enemy can just set up in a house/village with a family inside shoot and kill a couple of soldiers and not worry about being fired upon because he now knows troops must disengage if possible. Sounds like a nice way for them to take out a few at a time without the worry of getting shot at.

AMAZING!

If we catch them don't even think of letting any of them play a sport like "Dodge Ball".

What a bunch of WIMPS (not the word I really wanted to use) we're becoming.
