An Afghan National Army soldier shot and killed two American soldiers in Laghman Province today following a dispute. The Afghan soldier was killed in return fire by other US troops.
Afghan government officials claimed that the incident was an “accident” and said the soldier tripped over his weapon and it went off killing the US soldiers. US officials termed the explanation “total bullsh*t.”
It is the 33rd “green-on-blue” attack so far this year, which has amounted to 42 NATO soldier slain, mostly Americans. The term “green-on-blue” is being deprecated by the Pentagon, which is trying to rebrand them as “insider attacks.”
And yet in this case, there is no indication that the shooter is an infiltrator of any sort into the Afghan military, and the shooting was the result of some sort of argument. Exactly what was being argued about is unclear.
The next preventative measure the ISAF will take to stop the “green-on-blue” attacks will of course be to ban Afghanis from carrying loaded weapons near the Occupiers. That'll fix it…
"Afghan government officials claimed that the incident was an “accident” and said the soldier tripped over his weapon and it went off killing the US soldiers." Lol. Next Afghan soldier who trips over his gun may kill three or four of the invaders. Probably the weapons themselves are rebelling against the infidels.
Hey, at least that one is better than the whopper issued by Mayor Bloomers after his "finest private army" haphazardly shot 9 civilians in front of the Empire State Building. According to him, it wasn't bad aim or reckless behavior but, simply that the bullets hit flower pots standing in the way, ricochet and hit the civilians. Oops! It was thru no fault or incompetence of the pigs involved.
I wish my local police force would recruit some Afghan cadets.
Oops! Two more bite the dust. Good to see how well things are going for the Empire in Afghanistan and how they're winning and all that.
Subject of dispute: get your imperialist butts out of Afghanistan.
