A Soldier's Journal: Day 5

[MDresden]

The US presence in their land is the reason they fight and will continue to fight. US started this war on the Afghan people. A Marine told me that you guys are instructed to just kill as many people as you can.

So lets be honest now.

I agreed with your definition of terrorism, and thats what you guys do. (I don't know what you have done, I mean 'you' to refer to the US forces)

In reality, you know that this war was about the TAP oil pipeline. Karzai-UNOCAL. You grew up in a foster home from the America that the American government does not care about, but you are sitting and doing their bidding to put money into the pockets of a few corporate companies (war profiteers). They continue wars until they turn a profit. SO you should be happy that the US is failing in this war.

If anything, you are the fool in Afghanistan. You guys die everyday, get injured (losing limbs) for who? For Bush and Obama, for oil companies?

They don't even give a crap about you. DO they send their sons and daughters to Afghanistan, or Iraq?

Like any person, who am I to question a commander unless I personally see something wrong or being done wrong?

"In reality, you know that this war was about the TAP oil pipeline. Karzai-UNOCAL."

No, I really didn't. A military job is a kin to a teaching job or a cooking job. To fight for a "nation" is nationalism, which is considered not good in America. To fight for us to win over someone is nationalism...an idea not accepted in America.

"but you are sitting and doing their bidding to put money into the pockets of a few corporate companies (war profiteers)."

WADEREGA! You say I sit and do no work? I do a lot of work. I do my part in helping the Afghans have a job and security.

"They continue wars until they turn a profit. SO you should be happy that the US is failing in this war."

Says who? Did the Vietnam conflict produce a profit? World War 1 or 2? Those wars never "turned" a profit if you consider the money beforehand and the money spent in the war. A "profit" could never be seen for many, many years to come. Again, this is how I see it and no "official" word of course.

EMKHAN, Ghundal; these sites are under constant FBI and CIA surveillance; feel free to express your views, but choose your words wisely, very carefully. Often times there's different techniques they use for entrapment

for example whenever a person like "MeemWawMeemNoon" asks about "jihad" ignore these questions. You can express your views strongly; so long as you don't make any explicit declaration of action. Believe me; I have faced these problems first hand I know what I am talking about. Don't let your pride and emotions get in the way.

The Wise Warrior does not fight so he can die; but so he can live to fight another day

In regards to msnbc post, "Cpl. Jeremy Morlock was sentenced to 24 years in prison for his role in the 'Kill Team."

So since he was sentenced to 24 years, who said that was he did was acceptable?

[MDresden]

I am not entrapping anyone...nor can I prove either way. I have only begun to learn Pashtun/ Islam and found a place to express such views. I know I am taking a chance the government may do something to me, but in all honesty I have found a people I accept and hope to accept me. And I have just begun to learn Islam which I've been told is center to Afghan culture.

Everyone knows you guys well

24 years....but he gets to live while the people he killed are gone forever.

[MDresden]

Who knows me? Because you are you can I say you like certain things and do certain things because of the little knowledge I have of you?

I could say you are Kunni and like Kunni Bacha-bas and you couldn't prove me wrong because you never gave me a chance to show or prove myself.

[MDresden]

24 years....but he gets to live while the people he killed are gone forever.

He was "sentenced"...that's justice or law. If you are in favor of no law, you will be a victim of no law. As an example, lets say no law is in a certain place of Afghanistan. The various terror networks can come into a house force you to let them live there and then they go and blow people up...all against your will. May I add, they always target the Afghan people more then US/NATO.

I'm not necessarily assuming you are, I'm merely telling these men to temper themselves. You never know who's watching and what could happen.

I am sorry another mashra...
I take my words back. i forgot who we are.

He was sentenced to live another 24 years; and after that 24 years he gets to live out the rest of his life to it's full course.

if that's justice, what difference is it from lawlessness?

[ghundal]

why was he not put on death row. Oh and btw the other guy was released.

In any case the US army is a bunch of losing criminals. You can learn Islam if you are sincere, but supporting the war against the Afghans is not a show of respect for them.'

have a good day

True Justice ...would be Merlock being drawn and quartered by horses

[MDresden]

We have different laws for different acts of crime. I have no say on what makes each act more worse then another act nor can I say the length of time needed in prison for such acts.

Our prisons are the same as other countries. Living on a small bed behind metal bars leave for 1 hour a day to workout and the rest of time sitting in your cell.

I simply can't say what is justice as I am not the one to make justice. (Like the ANA/ANP and the Afghan government determines its own justice.)

[MDresden]

True Justice ...would be Merlock being drawn and quartered by horses

Scimitar...we may share the same idea on this...but again...I'm only a citizen and can not determine Justice as justice is made by those in power (as I'm sure you know.)
