October 2005 After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the enemy. US soldiers in Afghanistan have taken the tactics of psychological warfare to a grotesque extreme. After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border in a desecration of Muslim burial rituals, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the enemy. A translation offered on camera by Sergeant Jim Baker of "PsyOps" reads: "Attention Taliban. You are all cowardly dogs. You allowed your fighters to be burned. This just proves you are the ladyboys we always believed you to be." In recent months, the Taliban have launched more attacks that at any time since the invasion. Faced with such a resurgence, the Americans are resorting to psychological warfare to demoralise the enemy. Armored vehicles loaded with loudspeakers blast loud, offensive music into the valleys. But such tactics may also heighten the perception of local people that the Americans are as barbarous as the Taliban.

Yeh send in the SS, I dont say that as a Insult, I meant it in the fact, the SS of Nazi Germany were Ferocious Fighters, who WERE Fanatics, so what I am saying is send one lot of Fanatics to fight another,I mean you makesuch a fuss about the loud Music, Imagine if a organisation Like the SS had been sent to Afghan, it wouldnt be so pretty and Music would have been the least of there worries, You need a Iron fist to stamp out a Determined and dirty playing enemy,

Why didn´t you leave them to be burned or buried by the villagers ?

I was there ... that is my company. Those guys were burned because they were foreign fighters and the local village wouldn't clam them.

I am an atheist. I have no problem with your personal belief. But if you talk about Muslims (I am not one even theoretically) chanting "Allahu Akbar" before fighting, may I remind you of the Crusades and the fact that to this day American soldiers are photographed in the act of Christian prayer before combat? What do you have to say to the fact that one does not have to say "Allahu Akbar" only for fighting? Does a Christian say "praise God" or "By God's Grace" only before combat?

Then what´s your religion, @ mgaputikkayo ? You sound like you might be a jew. You don´t seem to know much about Islam, or any real religion for that matter. The Afghans do not kill for the sake of killing, like the American terrorists do, the Afghans are doing their holy duty fighting international terrorism. You don´t expect them to defend their country and their families non-violently in a war, do you.

I totally agree we all have the same GOD but different names to different cultures. But if muslims chant this "allahu akbar" before purposely with intent of killing, then i believe that is where it's out of context. Its just sad they have to invoke GOD's name before doing such acts. Has GOD instructed us to kill so we can all proudly say GOD is GREAT? My apologies to you brother if my comment insulted you in any way.

means "is great"; "God is Great". Nothing ore, nothing less. Your intolerance and ignorance do you no credit.
