[afghancoolguy]

[graveyardofempires]

Kunduz is our own PF intelligence officer

[randolph85]

yes, americans have no intel at all on kunar province, so they must pose as afghans on forums and ask basic questions...

yes, that was sarcasm. give the guy a break.

is he a translator?

Why would a translator ask random questions, a spy would? Translator don't do anything but translate.

actually translators carry eapons along with invading forces.
an how is a translator different than a spy?

[torkham]

korengal - nuristanis. dominant language kamwiri then katwiri. But majority youngsters can speak dari and pashto.

someone was right - nuristani is a totally different language with few dari and pashto words introduced in last part of the century.

No they don't. Unless a member of the ANA, also works as a translator. Translatorsdon't work for the US army, they are not trained to handle a weapon. They work for companies who services are paid for by the Department of Defense.

Cmon dude, theirs a big difference between a spy and a translator. Many Afghans who live in Afghanistan, so they can save some money. As their isn't much jobs.

Whether someone considers them "Beghairot" is a topic of another thread. But I would like to say that no calls the Taliban, beghairots for taking American money.

true, but many times a "translator" collaborates in the torturing of inncoent pashtun villagers rounded up for brutal interrogations as a deilberate terrorizing tactic to cripple the morale of the population,

Contractors ..sub contractors ... translators

Living / sleeping/ chilling out at the Army Bases.

...and what qunduz said, plus a little more evil here and there!

they don't know as much as you may think they do..

and there are afghan amateurs working for them who may be assigned with certain things requiring elementary knowledge of certain aspects of a given region which they personally may not possess, and gaining this knowledge helps them to carry out the actual assignment. i doubt mere curiosity brings one to register on a forum and make three topics concerning who the most influential tribes are in the conflict-ridden province of kunar. there are political intentions behind that question which the asker denied and said was out of mere curiousity.


i am not judging anybody. afghancoolguy you can go ahead with your questions but i am simply warning some people to learn to make it a habit to think twice.

What evil are you talking about? And where should they live then?

The things I think of are too inappropriate to be discussed on a forum...

aha, i see. i did my own research and they are apparently a dardic people who speak something close to pashai.

i dont know if all of them carry guns but many do and what can you expext they are in a warzone.
there is a doc by Journeyman where you see this man with ak47 acting as translator and he is also very mean to the civilian shop keeper.
