No photo – no problem: NATO to ban its Afghan forces from taking war-zone pics
May 27, 2012 12:46
NATO forces in southwestern Afghanistan will implement a total ban on soldiers’ taking personal photos during military operations. This comes in the wake of major scandals involving US servicemen being pictured with dead Taliban fighters.

Oh, THAT's a big winner! Focus on taking photos of the INSIDE of Military Bases and putting those on FaceBook/etc. Nothing like a little inside info to help the Enemy's Infiltration Efforts that much easier.
Maybe they should just restrict all photos to sexting (etc) INSIDE the trailers they call barracks these days. That might even make the War Effort popular, again!
Soldiers in the 1970s when I was serving were not allowed camera,flashlights,j ust combat kit.Only the corporal used a red lensed flashlight for map reading.There are so many camera devises out there today that criminal acts will most likely be recorded .But nothing is soldier proof,dumb things will be done by bored silly young men armed to the teeth.You must stop conflicts happening in the first instance .Police are peace keepers,they keep the peace ,soldiers are killers,they kill people that is their job,do not use soldiers to keep the peace.
The stories of the deliberate slaughters of Afghanistan children and women will of course undoubtedly continue to come out but it's simply easier in the thinking of the Satanically evil Zionist corrupted US Pentagon's mind to quietly squash such stories and pay the surviving familys bags of free US Taxpayer dollars ----------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------S urely these idle Afghans could earn $79 dollars an hour selling windmills to Eskimos using wind up lap tops ...and save the planet .......while promoting much needed growth in the global economy?
With War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity being allegedly created and launched routinely across Afghanistan by USA and NATO troops, it is simply the Satanically evil Zionist corrupted US Pentagon's attempt to curtail photographic proof of those events taking place.
The stories of the deliberate slaughters of Afghanistan children and women will of course undoubtedly continue to come out but it's simply easier in the thinking of the Satanically evil Zionist corrupted US Pentagon's mind to quietly squash such stories and pay the surviving familys bags of free US Taxpayer dollars to hush them up rather than be exposed to the US Taxpayers just what precisely their enormous USA Defense funding is being used for and buying.
Just imagine if every time a Clinton got up to ponderously pontificate about 9/11 and"defending the American people from terrorism"...and the wanton savagery of sending rockets into occupied Palestine...Red Indians and Palestinians could put up the unadorned truth about the fascist racist Zionist empire in unquestionably accurate photographic form? You are pirates liars thieves and mass murderers....and what is worse than that you don`t ever confront yourselves about it....while you mince about the global blood drenched moral high ground like naked stupid emperors with no clothes on...... ......em perors who have a drone up their invisible sleeves.....or a Bliar or a torture chamber or a Merdock or an O`Barmy or a bent BBC programme ...... to throttle the truth....... and snuff out the lives...... and steal the land .......of anyone who stands in the way of your Frankenstein`s freedom and dictator`s democracy and the rule of YOUR law!
I seriously doubt that each and every one of those service members are going to comply with this order. This policy was always around. The General is only reminding them of it.

Here we see NATO is not only morally bankrupted but its methods are becoming crude. In Syria today—we see NATO backs terrorists who are murdering women and children—these terrorists take photos and videos of their crimes and place them online—NATO wants these ‘evidence’ to justify war of regime change in Syria. But NATO does not want to know anybody in the world to know NATO’s own war crimes in places where NATO soldiers are killing women and children on daily basis. Any soldier with moral conscience must disobey this cynical order and collect evidence of NATO war crimes. NATO today brings only disgusting in my heart and soul.
