BIG EFFEN DEAL: MARINES URINATING ON DEAD TALIBAN CORPSES

BIG EFFEN DEAL  As a former GI and a Korean War veteran, I know most people will be shocked with this video, but if they knew what takes place in a war they wouldn't be so righteous.  Many of these Marines have probably seen what happens to their buddies when the Taliban kill them and mutilate their bodies.

DAUNTING CHALLENGES FACE US TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN IN 2012



CLICK ON ARROW OR YOU TUBE TO PLAY

Ten years ago the US army removed the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, and by 2014 foreign troops are expected to be gone from the country.

Breaking with its violent past is expected to be Afghanistan's biggest challenge this year, but by no means its only one.

The government will have to plan for possible talks with the Taliban, who have re-emerged as a powerful force, as well as take on more responsibility for security.

It also needs to put necessary economic and political reforms in place before the country is able to fully stand on its own.

Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse reports from Kabul.

GRAPHIC VIDEO: SOLDIER IS SHOT IN THE FACE IN AFGHANISTAN



CLICK ON ARROW OR YOUTUBE TO PLAY

Guardian Films - Sean Smith's brutal, uncompromising film from the Helmand frontline shows the horrific chaos of a stalemate that is taking its toll in blood.


The images make your hair stand on end. It's intense, and the soldiers' fear is palpable. A Helicopter-borne team descend through a fire fight. A bullet has torn through a soldier's face and punctured his lung. "He was able to turn and have the meat, kind of away from his airway, so he was able to breathe." Back at base the Helicopter is cleaned of blood, ready for it's next hair raising mission. "We don't know if it's your position or not but there is a possible imminent attack", a soldier shouts in panic back into his radio, but before he has an answer bullets start coming from all directions. "Ah Fuck, Oh shit fuck. Which way are we going?" Amid the confusion a Marine is shot in the back. But it's not the bullets that kill these men. It's the IEDs. In the space of two weeks, 3 men from this company have died from the deadly devices. In recent weeks they've multiplied by 80%. So much so, that the entire region of Helmand is now considered a low-density minefield.
