Let me be clear...


Disarm the Afghans


There is a really easy way to cut down on the number of green on blue shootings in Afghanistan, Disarm the Afghans in any situation where they could be a threat to NATO troops.  

Far from being a ridiculous suggestion, this is a common practice for the US military, who disarms their own people in Afghanistan when the SECDEF visits, and who restricts firearms on stateside installations, leading to events like the murders of 13 troops on Fort Hood.  

The military has long since passed the point where political correctness is prized above force protection.  If we are not willing to take drastic measures to protect our own people from our alleged allies, its time for us to leave Afghanistan.  And its time.  

An unemployment numbers allegory...


Let's say when I'm 19, I say to my Dad: "If you pay my room and board and tuition for the next four years, I promise I'll never fail a class".  

Then I proceed to flunk every class for the next three and a half years.  All along the way I blame the school, my professors, society, my enemies, everything but my own performance.  

Finally, in the second semester of what is my fourth freshman year... I pull out a D minus in ONE class.  

So then I say to my Dad: "My grades are at a 44 month high!  See, I just needed a little time to see the results of my study habits.  How about paying my way for another four years?"

Would my Dad be a racist if he didn't believe me?
