Fundamental instability: ‘Armed US youngsters playing god in Afghanistan’
June 21, 2012 01:47
US troops involved in Koran burning in Afghanistan may face only disciplinary action, a far softer punishment than was thought by Afghan officials. But no punishment would prevent such incidents from happening, analyst Robert Naiman told RT.

Ships bound for Syria http://www. rt.com/news/lavrov-s yria-exclusive-394/ It doesn't even amaze me anymore at what lengths the US will go to 'try' to swing American thinking. The saddest part is...there are still supporters of Obama and Romney who just can't seem to get it, that their leaders want nothing for the people and everything for the Banking Elite. Keep watching the paid for biased media who are paid off to report what they're told and not what is truth.
If either should be voted in due to your votes...then you deserve everything the USA does to you and other innocent peace-loving people in the world. Get educated before you are stripped of outside sources of truth and can't.
TIM=you are entitled to you opinion as to whether there is a GOD or not.It is not GOD who is causing millions of people round the World to be killed .It is AMERICA.You are born into this world with certain attributes .But you have FREEDOM of CHOICE as to whether you do good or bad. Dont blame GOD.Otherwise if GOD had FULL control over you there would be No reason to exist(GOD could make you all good) Its people that are EVIL=At the moment the DEVIL is winning.But you do Not "get away with it" you have got to pay if not in this life then in the next incarnation or you are put down below to meet REAL EVIL.And you wouldnt like it.But its there to learn to be a GOOD person.You say you have no proof of Gods existence.? the attributes I was born with are not physical .I have lived fated life and have had religious experiences and a lot more things of a spiritual nature.I have also total recall the past is like yesterday in my mind..
“There should be severe punishment right up the chain of command, to those who have put them in those situations and set up the scenarios that have led to these actions.” Finally some sense on this war. Send the punishment right up that twisted, corrupted chain, starting at the top with Obomb'em. Ron Paul 2012
Invaders have always, throughout history, despised the people they conquered and have treated them brutally. Can't really expect the American conquerors of Afghanistan to be any different.
The US invaders of Afghanistan are no different than the Japanese rampaging through China or the Germans looting and burning Polish towns during the 1930-40s. The only difference is that the American invaders are more devious in their conquests because they pretend to have a noble purpose of bringing the people a "better life" as they spread death and destruction across the invaded country.
Th e American invaders hide their evil behind their sunglasses and a veneer of propaganda.

Thank you for a truthful headline RT. I am a Canadian and I think it is so disgusting & sad. Happy to see some troops realize truth lately. Proud of the awakening Marines...
So ignorantly proud, dumbly shouting about horrors they commit, instead they should be deeply ashamed. Often karma deals with these monsters. Too dim-witted to understand, their soul rejects what they become & suicide follows.
I too am from Canada and read with disgust the actions of the US in other countries. I am a huge Ron Paul supporter and it matters not that he won't be / become president, he's opened my eyes to what is yet to arrive in yes, even Canada. (we have concentration camps here also.) Last summer, I had a young Canadian (23) man live at my house that had 7 years of military and 6 months in Afghanistan. The stories were horrible. His friends now gone have left him with ptsd for the remainder of his years. Four of his other friends have returned and have either o/d'd or committed suicide. He was made aware of the Opium business in error and was banned from the area. Also, told to 'shoot' anything that moved. These kids went over with patriotic feelings, loyalty and orders and have returned broken, unable to function in today's society and unable to 'forget' what they saw.
As you know, our society 'today' doesn't train you to hurt your neighbor or spank your children... these kids don't know what / lived true hate /anger...they are taught only briefly then sent in. I don't know where he is today. He fell off the gps for me. I worry about him and he feels alone in Canada. A heart of gold and trying to stay positive.. I don't blame 'him' for his actions but I do hold the USA / Can Military, Harper and Obama completely responsible for this. Such as shame to see the Middle East being used and abused as it is. For no good reason. You can see from this video.. no guns, no weapons and trying desperately to hang on to what thier people believe in. This is the hope of all the middle east and not the picture painted by US media. you tube Change is on the Horizon Part 3 and view the truth of US corruption. The NESARA law HAS to come to be or everyone is doomed. The government will not announce it. It's been in law since 2000.
America rarely sanctions its troops. There are numerous examples of criminal behaviour and bad conduct on the part of American soldiers. The US will not permit it's forces to be subject to the laws of the land they inhabit, which is another case of American exceptionalism. The answer is not to have any Americans on your soil.
If these soldiers are playing god, where is the 'real God' then? Aren't the insurgents playing god as well? It would be interesting if there was one shred of evidence to back up the existence of the deities in question. Americans praying to YHWH for success in battle against the soldiers of Allah... Muslims calling on Allah to help them kill the infidel Yawhists... and it all amounts to very mundane, physical action between them. Is God indifferent to those who claim his protection, or merely non-existent? Perhaps the body count will decide who's god exists.
HURRIYET=GREAT =that last line line says it all.While the Russian Army shot face to face =American troops CALL IN Aerial bombardment in EVERY war they have inflicted since WW2=By this action many civilians are killed =a rocket doesnt choose who it hits .So yes Russian soldiers must be MORE BRAVE.While I can understand those US/Canadian voices that make excuses for the low IQ of their troops.That doesnt change a thing in respect of the US killing millions of World citizens,They WONT stop.And thats the BOTTOM LINE
re: "The administrative action could include a reprimand or a pay cut, but in
no case a criminal charge or expulsion from the military." It is clearly seen that they are giving punnishment only because 'You got caught burning Koran' and the punnishment is a warning to take care next time while burning Koran.
The frightening fact for themselves alone is that the American, and for that matter NATO´s, army(s) have very low discipline and moral. The question is; how they can win a realistic war with such bunch of broken Brancaleone´s “armies”?
Thank you for a truthful headline RT. I am a Canadian and I think it is so disgusting & sad. Happy to see some troops realize truth lately. Proud of the awakening Marines... yet all too many low-level grunts are just hopelessly brainwashed, wholesale believing whatever lies & BS they are fed.
Their bigoted arrogant empty-headedness is embarrassment to humanity. So ignorantly proud, dumbly shouting about horrors they commit, instead they should be deeply ashamed. Often karma deals with these monsters. Too dim-witted to understand, their soul rejects what they become & suicide follows.
re: "The administrative action could include a reprimand or a pay cut, but in
no case a criminal charge or expulsion from the military."
wh y would they charge these insane barbarians, they use them in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Sudan, .......
just cover their ugly disguiusting mugs and teach them few Islamic
words, get holly/bolly/zionist wood to film these "god players" and
slaughter en mass

Yes, im sure Russian forces were far better behaved and well liked during their own time in Afghanistan...
read the letter of Mullah Omar re: the Russian"at least they have the corage to face us on grounds unlike the US"
@NOTtroopdude. You must be getting wars mixed up. The only killing I see are the photos of dead babies in Syria by the Syrian puppet govt backed with Russian tanks. What I recall about Russia and Afghanistan was Russia got their but kicked by some nomads with rifles. Funny thing is Russians are like, "No foreign intervention" yet they have a russian port, russian tanks and are backing a dictatorship which is run my the minority of the people. What does that sound like to you? This is why they don't want to have elections in Syria, they will lose. Russia is no world leader so, go back to eating your potato and prepare yourself for your next failed govt. Why do you think the fine for starting an illegal rally in Russia is more than mishandling nuclear waste. Sounds like someone is afraid of something. Look it up.
Typical American response, diversion and counter blame.
Fact remains, the "gains" from the Afganistan "war" were only these, the murdering of countless babies, children, women, men, and a few "terrorists" who are/were only fighting to save the former. Other gains include Opium/heroin, "live" military training, lots and lots and lots of money for the "Industry". And ofcourse the war (political) benefits.
Fun ny thing is Americans are like "DEMOCRACY! Yeah!!!". "Democracy in the Middle east!!" Take the time to read your own constitution, the actual purpose, goal and vision of the founders of the country. Then google Democracy Vs Republic. Should explain a lot.
USA was infiltrated ages ago by these "Elite democrats", and the people simply follow their wishes, desires, greed, and sadly, even their thought processes of hate/violence/sadism now.
People make mistakes. This Koran burning was an accident. The officer in charge told them to burn anything that was being used to pass messages between cells. Some inmates were using the Koran. I am wondering if that would be
sacrilegious to use a holy book in a time of conflict instead of peace. There are many Muslims in Europe and the U.S. and they are welcome.
