Amputations and genital injuries increase sharply among soldiers in Afghanistan (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/04/AR2011030403258.html)



Doctors and nurses treating soldiers injured in Afghanistan have begun speaking of a new "signature wound" - two legs blown off at the knee or higher, accompanied by damage to the genitals and pelvic injuries requiring at least a temporary colostomy.
...
Most critically injured soldiers arrive at Landstuhl unconscious or heavily sedated. Some regain consciousness for the first time since the battlefield during their two- or three-day stay. Gillespie described a typical awakening.

"The first thing we let them know is they're in Germany. We tell them, 'You're hurt, but you're okay.' Then they want to do a scan of their body. They ask, 'Is my junk all together?' They want to check their 'package.' Then they check their arms and legs. This all happens probably within 15 minutes of being off sedation."

Many patients, minds clouded by illness and medication, "discover" their injuries more than once during the stay. Each time, they ask nurses and doctors to explain what happened and what lies ahead.

This is where a spiritual guide becomes necessary, someone who knows the Bible and how to use it

Americans are repeating Russian experience in Afghan. When I was 18 I visited a vet hospital in Leningrad and saw guys my age without no legs and arms, some were missing dicks too.

Nobody said this better than Major General Smedley Butler.

We need to get our guys the f*ck out of that hell hole.

No, we did not get enough in Korea, VietNam, Yugoslavia or a dozen other little wonderful paradise patches. We need more than just Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now we need to invade Libya.

They are wearing down military morale with unwinnable missions. And we are spending money to increase debt.

Western " special forces ", UK , US, Canada, others, trained those very same people
making IED's to make IED's , that very technology which is low technology really
is being used on those very same nations soldiers. Tactics as well used on Russians
led by same " special forces ", are being employed, systems of unconventional
warfare, that is low technology too, but you still need leaders to teach this especially
since the population and fighters are uneducated and illiterate, and we did this.
At this point it is locals coming out to fight invaders, even military admits this.

DU is a bigger issue, especially in Iraq, breathing it in.

All for lies.

" In October 2009, National Security Adviser James Jones said that al-Qaeda in Afghanistan had been contained and that fewer than 100 members remained in the country."
