General Martin Dempsey finally hears wake-up call
America’s top dog in Afghanistan is getting a whiff of the coffee, and not a moment too soon. In fact, some would say he’s about ten years late to the game.
Speaking to the American Forces Press Service General Dempsey characterized the rash of green on blue attacks as a “serious threat” to the war effort.
No shit!
Recently the Pentagon has fought back, in that classic Pentagonian way, by directing their talking heads to refer to green on blue attacks as “insider” attacks, a directive the mainstream media were quick to incorporate.
To no avail. There seems to have been an uptick in the frequency of green on blue attacks since that directive came down.
The problem isn’t what you call it, General Dempsey, the problem is those people are sick and tired of your help and just want you to go home. Never mind the “war effort”, this war has been lost for years.
And just to put an exclamation mark behind that sentiment, the US took out a dozen women gathering firewood yesterday.
Wonder if any of them had brothers or fathers or sons or husbands in the Afghan Army or police?
