Army’s Apache under assault: PC police call helicopter’s name racist!

By the way, the 'Independent' as your political affiliation is truly funny. You're about as Independent as Oxycontin Rush.

Care to do a side by side comparison of issues and stated positions on this site?

Oh my, those "enemies" are so gonna get scared of names like "Apache" or "Chinook". . .







Indeed, maybe they should name the Apache the "Ibrahim 10" and the Chinook the "Allah 5000." That'd scare the hell out of them.

Youtube and Liveleak are filled with direct and incontrovertible evidence of how our enemies respond to the Apache. Forum rules prevent me from posting those, but lets just say this is appropriate background music.

The Taliban agree--they don't care what the name is. They just keep firing at them w/RPGs.

Most of the time, they never knew they were there. Day or night, sending them to allah in style.

Maybe we should rename the apache as the AH-64 "snuggle bunny". We can paint this on the side...

of maybe this...

That's not good, it's like when someone is talking to himself on the streets.

The screening question is "Do you see or hear things others around you do not see or hear?"

Last I heard, there aren't too many shopping malls in Afghanistan. Evidence? ?

*shakes head and sighs*

KABUL, Afghanistan — The heroes in the suicide bombing at the Kabul City Center shopping mall on Monday were not among the police officers or NATO coalition and American Special Forces soldiers who showed up later.

They were Gul Agha and Lal Mohammed, two poorly paid security guards who had what has lately been one of the worst jobs in Afghanistan — screening visitors at the door.

When a suicide bomber stepped through a metal detector, alarms went off and the two guards opened fire, according to witnesses and the building’s security manager, Haji Gul.

Of course, most shopping malls are not what you would know of, but are actually souqs, what most Westerners would think of as "Bazaars".

The more you know, the more you grow.
