3 US soldiers shot in Afghanistan INSIDER ATTACK

[the_ad id=”87125″]

For years under Obama, our troops in Afghanistan were sacrificed to the politically correct refusal to state the truth about Islam. And now we have another senseless “insider attack,” once again because the Obama administration steadfastly refused for eight years to acknowledge the motive and ideology of jihadic doctrine. How are our soldiers supposed to distinguish the jihadists from people on our side? Trump must change this — but he hasn’t yet.

“3 US soldiers shot in Afghanistan ‘insider attack,'” by Lucas Tomlinson, Fox News, March 19, 2017:

Three U.S. Army soldiers were shot and wounded Sunday when an Afghan Army soldier opened fire on them inside a base in southern Afghanistan’s volatile Helmand Province, officials told Fox News.

The attack occurred around 1:30 p.m. local time at Camp Antonik in Washer District in Helmand.

“Coalition security forces on the base killed the soldier to end the attack,” Capt. Bill Salvin, spokesman for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, told Fox News. “The U.S. soldiers are receiving medical treatment at this time and we will release more information when available.”

The severity of the soldiers wounds was not immediately clear. Salvin declined to offer more details.

There are roughly 8,400 U.S. troops on the ground in Afghanistan — more than in Iraq and Syria combined.

Additionally, the Pentagon is weighing a decision to send more U.S. forces to Afghanistan. The top U.S. commander in the country, Gen. John Nicholson, told Congress earlier this year he needed more U.S. and allied soldiers to help train the Afghan army.

A detachment of U.S. Marines is scheduled to replace the Army unit in Helmand Province in the coming weeks. Hundreds of Marines were killed fighting the Taliban in Helmand at the height of the Afghan war.

Since October, 12 Americans have been killed in Afghanistan and five Americans are currently being held hostage there….

Adjust the rules of engagement so as not to tie the hands of American soldiers. Go there to win, not as a publicity stunt.

How can any military force engage in combat with one or both hands tied behind their backs?

Instead of asking for more troops, Gen. NIcholson should tell the Pentagon and the President he needs his men to fight as soldiers, not as PC pawns.

Trump should immediately order a couple of SEAL teams to go in and free the troops that are being held, then get every soldier the hell out of that God-forsaken s**t hole. THEN…….B-52’s. Enough said.

Muslims specialize at infiltration and assassination. Watching for that always has to be high priority when dealing with them.

Muslims don’t have to specialize in anything to kill American troops. Obama, democrats and RINOS made sure all they have to do is walk into a recruiter’s office and sign right up to gain access to thousands of troops. If trump doesn’t reverse that, then he’s no better.

Get all the American soldiers out of Afghanistan and out of syria and out of Iraq and Iran — bomb the hell out of them with planes — Afghans cannot be trained because they cannot read or write and cannot read instructions — and they are dedicated to their ogre. Anyway they very well know how to fight in their own way. Trump — please bring back all of our boys — let the muslims in these regions fight it out among themselves — every dead Muslim of whatever nationality or whatever stripe is a boon to the world. All Muslims are savages, our boys are civilized knights and are being sacrificed for no reason. Bring our troops back!!!
