According to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs plans on discussing the problem with green-on-blue attacks with the Afghan government. That should fix it. If that’s their solution to the problem, why wasn’t he talking with them months ago? In the meantime another US soldier was killed in an attack by two Afghan police this weekend, bringing the weekly total to ten;<\/p>\n

In the latest such attack Sunday, two Afghan policemen turned their weapons on U.S. troops in Kandahar province, killing an American servicemember, officials said. That raised the death toll to 10 U.S. troops killed in such attacks in the space of just two weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amazing what loading your weapon when the ANP is around will accomplish. they only killed one American before Americans with the newly authorized advantage of a loaded weapon stopped the attack before more could be killed and then took out one of the jihadists.<\/p>\n

The US government’s excuse for not giving the green-on-blue attacks more attention was because they didn’t want the Taliban to win any PR creds on the whole thing, but in the meantime, troops were dying. Obviously, this administration in it’s attempt to throw away this war is more interested in how their Nobel Prize-winning president is perceived and they’re willing to accept a few casualties to further the image of the president. That’s why Jay Carney said last week<\/a> that the impact of green-on-blue attacks was “negligible”, because they didn’t want to take the measures that are necessary to protect the troops and cause them to look like meanies.<\/p>\n

If I were the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the only thing I would say to the Afghan government is that any Afghan with a magazine in his weapon within 50 meters of a US soldier on any base will be shot as a jihadist, unless they’re engaged with an enemy force. Let them spend their time looking over their shoulders for a while. But, then I’m not the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
