Aussie soliders keep Taliban fighters in dog pens

[Yojimbo]

What do you think about this? It seems the green party and some Muslim group have criticised them for doing it. Are these people idiots? These Taliban guys are trying to kill, our soldiers, they are the enemy. What do they want them to do? Tie them up and rise them getting loose and killing the soldiers? They are the enemy, worth less than nothing and locking them in cages overnight hardly counts as something cruel in my opinion. It's ridiculous that these people criticise them when they aren’t even part of the military or know what its like. I’m darn sure they wouldn’t have seen a battlefield themselves but they still whine about something as tame as detaining pows for a night. What’s your view? I think the soldiers were completely right in doing it, they shouldn’t have though twice about putting their own safety first and saying its wrong is close minded and second guessing. I think they should be happy they didn’t just shoot all of them instead which I think is equally justified. ing at the guys with their lives on the line to protect us mistreating their enemies is just insane.

This should be in the DD subforum.

But still, it is retarded. So they held four guys overnight in a dog cage.


Boo hoo hoo.

He could've been shot. "Yet no, I risk the safety of humanity, I should be given a nice room...."

EPIC FAILZ (TERRORIST).
THREAD WON.

It was overnight. What's the deal? Were they supposed to share bunk beds with them?

[Senno]

I think the Taliban are lucky to be alive. Front line soldiers don't always have jails available to them to meet every creature comfort need of their lucky to be alive prisoners.

My ethnic brethern stuffed Taliban prisoners in overcrowded metal storage containers.. where they suffocated to death and rotted in their own excrement.


EDIT: That being said I have zero sympathy for the Aussie soldiers. They are occupying soldiers and must accord POWs with at least basic rights. Unless of course Aussies are mindless barbaric savages, then they can stick them in dog pens or even mutilate and kill them. That's what we'd do, but we're mindless barbaric savages.

wow I have never seen somebody more racist. The soldiers are just doing their jobs. Ignored. I'm sure your breathern that wiped out the Germans and the Native Americans were just as justified.

Statements like that make me remember why I avoid the left side of the political spectrum.

[allthesedamnnamesaretaken]

dog pens are too good for them. they should have been stored in iron maidens.

[Miraj]

Aussie soldiers are a race?

EDIT: I'm an afghan btw.

And Afghans are such savages you guys wiped out the Native Americans and Germans (Who the hell wiped out Germans?) before we got a chance, you selfish jackasses. Your savagrey transcends time and place! Faranji, it is the killing word.

Good job Australia. I hope the next night they made them lie in the feces at the bottom of a pig pen.

And who the are these 'muslim Australians' who are outraged? I'll tell you who they are. They're ing traitors who should be placed in dog houses until deportation.

[gambit]

Big whoop. Stop killing humans if you want to be treated humanely.

[Big War Bird]

I feel like throwing a pity party

[boofhead]

Of course these 'muslim Australians' also display their outrage when the Taliban saw off the heads of captives with little knives and videotape them, don't they?

No. They don't. They say nothing.

You go too far, You accuse me of treason and Insultingly question my loyalty to Australia.

Edit: You also conveniently large number of Muslims in the Army.

Burnum, I referred to 'these muslims' (i.e., the ones who are 'outraged' by this), not 'all' muslims.

As you are a native Aussie, I would need a hell of a lot of evidence to doubt your loyalty to the country - and I don't have it, so I wouldn't accuse you.

What do you think of their 'outrage', let me ask you? Or are you just doing the same as them, and shutting your mouth when Taliban commit murder but showing outrage when prisoners of war are kept in a dog pen for the night by possibly the most humane troops on the planet? Oh wait! The latter is unacceptable because Aussie troops are 'kufr', right, and 'humiliating' muslims?

Personally, I don't give a . They're lucky they weren't just killed.

lol well said.

Okay then, It also should be noted that these "Muslims" are probably a very small group.

What do you think of their 'outrage', let me ask you?

I personally think that the Taliban deserve much worse, especially considering their treatment of non-Sunni Pashtun. It also depends on the cleanliness and size of the dog kennels.

Most likely. I also note the article didn't mention exactly who they were. It's almost like it was written just to piss people like me off.

We are in agreement here, brother. Especially considering things like this:

The worst attack on civilians came in summer of 1998 when the Taliban swept north from Herat to the predominantly Hazara and Uzbek city of Mazar-i-Sharif, the largest city in the north. Entering at 10 am on 8 August 1998, for the next two days the Taliban drove their pickup trucks "up and down the narrow streets of Mazar-i-Sharif shooting to the left and right and killing everything that moved — shop owners, cart pullers, women and children shoppers and even goats and donkeys."[55] More than 8000 noncombatants were reported killed in Mazar-i-Sharif and later in Bamiyan.[56] Contrary to the injunctions of Islam, which demands immediate burial, the Taliban forbade anyone to bury the corpses for the first six days while they rotted in the summer heat and were eaten by dogs.[57] In addition to this indiscriminate slaughter, the Taliban sought out and massacred members of the Hazara, a mostly Shia ethnic group, while in control of Mazar.

While the slaughter can be attributed to several factors — ethnic difference, suspicion of Hazara loyalty to their co-religionists in Iran, fury at the loss of life suffered in an earlier unsuccessful Taliban takeover of Mazar — the belief by some Sunni Taliban that the Shia Hazaras were guilty of takfir (apostasy) may have been the principle motivation. It was expressed by Mullah Niazi, the commander of the attack and governor of Mazar after the attack, in his declaration from Mazar's central mosque:

"Last year you rebelled against us and killed us. From all your homes you shot at us. Now we are here to deal with you. The Hazaras are not Muslims and now have to kill Hazaras. You either accept to be Muslims or leave Afghanistan. Wherever you go we will catch you. If you go up we will pull you down by your feet; if you hide below, we will pull you up by your hair."[27]

Hazara also suffered a siege by the Taliban of their Hazarajat homeland in central Afghanistan and the refusal by the Taliban to allow the UN to supply food to Hazara in the provinces of Bamiyan, Ghor, Wardak and Ghazni.[58] A month after the Mazar slaughter, Taliban broke through Hazar lines and took over Hazarajat. The number of civilians killed was not as great as in Mazar, but occurred nevertheless.[59]

During the years that followed, rapes and massacres of Hazara by Taliban forces were documented by groups such as Human Rights Watch.[60]

So who has the moral high ground? Aussie troops who respect human rights or these murderous, wicked bastards?
