very small minded way of looking at the situation in Afghan but whatever.

I have a feeling the base CO might find his next posting somewhere in sunny Antarctica.
Or Killeen Texas. :shock:
Whatever is right. War is war, you can not be politically correct in war, trying to win a war in a politically correct way is moronic in all honestly.
No wars have ever been won in a "politically correct way".
It demonstrates the ability to place things in perspective. People will attack for any reason or no reason at all, but, not solely because the Koran was burned. That does not smack of reality.it also shows that you (mya) learned nothing from that attacks of 9/11 and alsmost welcome such attacks again.

I like to hear especially from those who defended the Marines who urinated on dead bodies in Afghanistan.

Well to be fair I don't think they burned the Koran just to spite people...did they? FWIW we have burned Bibles as well...that's how the US military handles everything it regards as waste/garbage that it doesn't need to use anymore. Burn or bury it. Burn poop. Burn Korans. Not saying they shoulda done it, but i don't think they did it just to piss people off.
then you do not understand how much the Koran means to Muslims...
Sure I do, but, this isolated event and 9/11 makes no sense to me. There were many reasons for those targets and several attempts prior to 9/11.
my point being that if the West continues to underestimate the importance of the relgion of Isam and tries to down play it and westernize it then we invite attacks like 9/11
Devon Bank has transformed itself into a specialist in the kind of no-interest Islamic financing the customer was seeking. Islamic financing now accounts for more than 75% of the bank's mortgage portfolio, and Devon has made mortgages compliant with Islam's sharia law in 36 U.S. states, Loundy says.
Devon Bank, responding to local customers in a neighborhood filled with Pakistani and Middle Eastern immigrants, stumbled onto something big: Islamic finance is booming worldwide, fueled by the windfall from sky-high oil prices and a return to a more strict interpretation of the holy Quran across the Islamic world. Once Devon Bank introduced sharia-compliant mortgages and other loans, "People started coming out of the woodwork," Loundy says.
In a report last month, credit-rating agency Moody's Investors Service said that the global Islamic finance market has grown about 15% in each of the past three years and is now worth about $700 billion worldwide. The heavyweights of global finance have taken notice: Citigroup, HSBC, Deutsche Bank and others have affiliates devoted to Islamic finance.
its not about being politically correct its about knowing your surroundings. When I was deployed to Iraq we spent hours in the classroom learning about the people of southern Iraq, their cultures and beliefs. What your talking about is total war which is not relevant in Afgahn. The soldiers that go their are fighting the taliban and al qaeda and are supposed to be setting a legacy of western democracy that will last after we are gone and will hopefully stop history repeating itself. The russians bombed the crap out of the afghan people and not only lost the war but started a decade of military regime under the taliban, to simply just bomb the locals as your suggesting not onlt spits on the memory of the solderis that died in Afghan it also shows that you (mya) learned nothing from that attacks of 9/11 and alsmost welcome such attacks again.
Again.... you are walking on eggshells .... you are not going to win a war that way.
Go to the classroom and learn all you want...but don't go to war then , war is total obliteration .... you are in an attack mode...no time for niceties.
Well.... that is, if you want to win that war.... if not.... then be politically correct and all that rubbish.

have to ask but have you been to war?
p.s war is not always total obliteration, you seem to be a little naive.
No Higgins86; I have not been to war, but you can bet your sweet eye that I would not be politically correct in war.
Does that answer your question?
