Their Mi-24 helicopters killed anything and everything. Our supplying them with Anti Aircraft stopped their complete annhiliation. The Russians were merciless.

And we could win easily if it weren't for our damned morals. I mean why defend a village to gain their trust when you can simply butcher a large amount of the population and rape the women, and then threaten to do the same thing if you're forced to come back. You know the Taliban won it's control largely through intimidation as well....

Why do all that work when we could just drop enough ordinance to level every town we find, destroy their crops, and kill every animal we come across?

Hehe lonely, laying the sarcasm a bit deep there?

That short report on Fallujah was very interesting, especially the comparison to the successful 07 assault. Seems like they learned their lessons well, even before the report was made/published.

Agreed. Western countries have become degenerate and self harming. If the circumstances were reversed we would not be shown mercy!

I know myself I would love a few 1000 acres of opium crop. Just shove all em' Pashtuns onto the nearest container and dump them on some convict island, I hear Australia has a lot of convicts

I think we all like sarcasm then and now. We know it would work in the beginning but than we'ld have to contend with other problems. Namely the international community, Pakistan claiming to be the moral superior (and justifying their own expansion) and it would be a repeat of Rhodesia.

It can be difficult for non-English speakers to pick up the sarcasm. Especially when there are no and
Then it depends a lot on how you read the sentence. "If it weren't for our damned morals" was kind of obvious sarcasm for me, at least

Yeah, those bloody savages and dirty commies of Australia have nothing in common with people from civilized states. Oh, wait a second..

About 150000 were sent from UK to Australia, Canada and other countries of commonwealth, that means some people you know could be descend of those people. But who cares, maybe they all just bunch of whores, thieves and commies.

Thanks again for making my day, Gunners87!
