The Associated Press<\/a> reports that the military is taking steps to reduce the number of attacks by Afghan National Army and Police on US troops in Afghanistan;<\/p>\n

In several Afghan ministries, Americans are now allowed to carry weapons. And they have been instructed to rearrange their office desks there to face the door, so they can see who is coming in, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the internal directive.<\/p>\n

While [Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan] did not detail the new measures in a briefing earlier this week, he acknowledged that changes had been made.<\/p>\n

“We have taken steps necessary on our side to protect ourselves with respect to, in fact, sleeping arrangements, internal defenses associated with those small bases in which we operate,” Allen said, adding that now someone is “always overwatching our forces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, cuz you know when your desk faces the door, you’re impervious to lead injection poisoning. I guess it never occurred to them that telling the Afghan ministries where US troops aren’t allowed to carry weapons, that they won’t be able to supply US troops to their ministry any longer. i mean, why wouldn’t US troops be allowed to carry weapons if, obviously, ANA and ANP personnel are allowed to carry weapons there, since that where two Americans bought it a few weeks ago – with no way to defend themselves. <\/p>\n

And, oh, by the way, please explain why no one was “always overwatching our forces” before. Don’t they have CQs and fireguards any more?<\/p>\n
