  • ANOTHER U.S. Troop Dies in the Line of Duty

    All while Tony Blair talks with India and smiles for the camera, yet again. We're out there dying, the brits/aussies/etc ain't doing anything. NOTHING.



    Look at that, and tell me something isn't wrong. Father of two children, devoted soldier fighting for something his country had to do alone. We were promised aid, but it only came in the financial and political forms. I'd go so far now to declare Britain, Germany, France, Australia, and Canada rouge and rogue nations at this point that are much more concerned about their own selves and well-being than America's current and dangerous situation.

    Really, if Britain hadn't fired off those ten cruise missiles with our initial wave, and they got hit by a terrorist strike just days later (which at the time was highly likely), it'd look awful in the public eye to suddenly join the fight and claim to be sticking up for us at the same time. Their early "assistance" was for show - they were scared for themselves alone. And now an innocent man is dead for it. For Blair's politics...for his own courage.

    I'm not attacking british people personally or anything, but you have to admit: someone screwed up, and it's your government. The government you essentially elected.

    "We are so proud that he had grown into such a wonderful son, who was a proud father, loving husband, and devoted to serving his country," said a statement from Chapman's parents. "He loved the Army and referred to his unit as his second family. He loved what he was doing, and he was willing to do whatever he had to do," his father said. "He was a wonderful son, and we're going to miss him."

    Let me know when a British troop dies that sort of horrible death. It'll never happen. But NONE of you will ever realize that. Makes me sick, to see these good people die for the world and get no appreciation or respect out of the international community for it. I wouldn't be so upset if some of you brits would at least come to realize just who's risking themselves for your well being - us, the Americans. Doing the dirty work.

        Oh come on guys, surely he's doing this intentionally.



        You just knows he laughs his ass off at this stuff.

        The same story as a similar thread of his: He *****es at the other countries for not doing anything, when the US is the nation that has to answer for its abusive foreign policies in the past, and also tells all the countries that want to help to go away. You just can't win with that, and I think Wiggy knows it. That's why he's used this troll twice now.

          Christ no one EVER listens. Let's knock off one of your troops and see how you like it. Thought so. It's common sense that you're ignoring here, not me.

          And Osweld: I know, we're losing enough now to reach the point where it's just not fun anymore. Bear with me.

            Canadian peacekeepers have died before, Wiggy.

            Get over it.

            You fight a war, people die. No news here.

              Glonky: It wouldn't be so bad if Britain, Canada, etc hadn't promised aid for our troops. We're out there dying instead of your guys - guys that should obviously have taken our place in parts of Afghanistan.

              No, this is an obvious case of a false promise made by scared nations, made to protect against a terrorist attack on their own soil as well as a PR and political cover for both the domestic and international realms.

                  Just so you know, Canadian special forces are doing cave searching also. Maybe they're just better trained than the Americans? Haven't heard of any of them getting injured.

                    Those are fabricated, Tower. Except for the idiot one. And maybe Woody's.

                      That's SO insulting to say that, you know. Dammit, would that little extra training you somehow pulled out of a sagging budget and no leadership be able to hold off a deadly small arms ambush out of the blue, by any chance? Again, it's obvious that we've got a much larger amount of guys in the region than the others in the coalition combined. All in the stats.

                      Any link for that bold little claim, by any chance? Just curious.

                        You've also got a much larger military, much more to lose, and a public that's deeply affected by it all. The other countries don't.

                          Doesn't shake the fact that you made a promise. Btw, you're VERY wrong to say other countries have nothing to lose here. If Britain had been attacked prior to their launching of a few cruise missiles, Blair would have hell to pay. The Aussies had an election ten days before Howard sent dozens of ships, planes, troops, etc to the region. And the combined military of Canada, Australia, Germany, etc is actually worthwhile against the Taliban.

                          That basically says you sent troops/ships. Big deal. They obviously haven't been used, though, as we've lost around 10 people and the entire alliance hasn't even lost one. Why didn't your government demand its forces were requested to be more active in Afghanistan? Surely it is a matter or international importance and safety? Same goes for Britain, the Aussies, etc.

                            if you look at the last post in this thread, you'll see that you actually did say that. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...5&pagenumber=1

                              The reason WHY the US was attacked was its blind support for Israel, among other things. Don't kid yourself here, Bin Laden isn't against "the west" as he's against the American abusive foreign policy.

                              That basically says you sent troops/ships. Big deal. They obviously haven't been used, though
                              Precisely. Now see if you can name which country coordinates everything and tells people what to use where? That's right, America. You've had our resources at your disposal, and chosen not to use them, then you troll about how we're useless for not doing anything.

                              Why didn't your government demand its forces were requested to be more active in Afghanistan? Surely it is a matter or international importance and safety? Same goes for Britain, the Aussies, etc.
                              So now you're pinning this on the other countries, when clearly it's America who chose not to use them?
                              Are you saying it's been ineffective how this operation has been run, anyway? Seems to work fine.
