The Real Afganistan

Stormbringer post
Excellent writing from a recon Marine.  Probably the best I have ever read to describe what is really going on in that hell hole.
This country blows, man. It's not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's no government. This is an inhospitable, rock pit shit hole ruled by eleventh century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs.
They have no respect for anything, not for their families, nor for each other, nor for themselves. They claw at one another as a way of life.
They play polo with dead calves and force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family honor.
Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK-47's.
This just affirms my belief that nuking the region into uninhabitable acreage is the only way to save this planet from this filthy scourge of Satan.

From the comments at Stormbringer that letter has been making the rounds for a while, updated and rewritten from time to time. Doesn't change it's validity.

"This just affirms my belief that nuking the region into uninhabitable acreage is the only way to save this planet from this filthy scourge of Satan"

Works for me, never happen though. I'd settle for getting all our boys out of that shithole and blowing the airports, bridges and roads out of the country on our way.
Plus, don't forget to deport every Afghan that came here back to his home village.

Chinese might conquer the area one day, in the spirit of the Huns. "They made a dessert and called it peace.", that would work.

JTR. Thanks for the comments. I will settle for the Chinese action, only if they do indeed act like Huns and make a desert!
