New Army Manual Orders Soldiers Not To Criticize Taliban (middle east, enemy, Afghanistan)

[All American NYC]

Here is a strong indicator that the Obama Administration’s crusade to appease Islam has gone too far; a new U.S. military handbook for troops deployed to the Middle East orders soldiers not to make derogatory comments about the Taliban or criticize pedophilia, among other outrageous things. It gets better; the new manual, which is around 75 pages, suggests that Western ignorance of Afghan culture— not Taliban infiltration—is responsible for the increase in deadly attacks by Afghan soldiers against the coalition forces.

So Obama thinks we are the cause of our own deaths because of islam ignorance? In times of war why are appeasing the enemy?

I don't believe in appeasing the enemy, especially during wartime.

I'm sure it was like this in WWII also, we probably ordered our troops not to insult the Germans or Japanese enemy too.

From the sage words of Gollum: "We be nice to them, if they be nice to us." Until they bite off our finger that is.

What's the problem? Everyone knows the job is to kill as many as possible, but do it in a friendly manner. NO insults allowed.

Well we wouldn't want to offend anybody.

Talk about an immoral and neutral stand on the part of western leadership. The Canadian army in Afghanistan was told to turn a blind eye to the recreational sodomizing of young boys by the Taliban...meanwhile the mantra of western liberals was "so a young girl can go to school" or "democracy"...The west is hypocritical to say the least. I guess this new policy in the Army Manual is to make friends with an enemy that is impossible and to fleeting to defeat..It might be wise. At this point in an undeclared war against a non descript enemy - the only way out is through compromise that hopefully in time may pacify these goons...If you can't beat them join them as they say.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle” - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I guess the troops are not defending freedoms ( in this case, speech)like we're told to believe.

Another reason to encourage young adults to stay out of the military.

George Washington wanted to appease the British.

There is common courtesy when you kill the enemy.
