Got to love alcohol being banned in an American military base in Afghanistan due in part to having respect for the Muslim culture.:mad:

Good. Maybe they'll want to get the hell out of there sooner.

Just out of curiosity, are you implying that our military shouldn't have any respect for the culture of the country they invaded?

Why are you mad at that?

If they have sent Barack Hussein Obama to rule over us to cleanse Christian values out of our society step by step, who some say is muslim or jewish, this is far less surprising.

I think the real issue is why do we have an American military base in Afghanistan, not why is alcohol being prohibited therein.

Is it a law that you can't drink in Afghanistan?

If so, good.

When in another country, military base or not, you should still follow laws.

If not, let them be respectful . . .

More than respect for local laws, this probably caused the policy change to sharia law:

Just saw this on Lew Rockwell

German soldiers in northern Afghanistan have been criticised for calling in an American F15 Strike Eagle to drop two 500lb bombs on a pair of hijacked fuel tankers in Kunduz at about 2.30am on Friday. Scores of local people who had gathered to siphon fuel from the lorries were killed in the explosions.

Nato began an investigation later that morning but military sources said that General McChrystal was furious because he “couldn’t get hold of the people he needed to get hold of and he blamed it on all-night partying”.

Rear-Admiral Gregory Smith, the top US spokesman in Afghanistan, accused German troops of waiting too long after the blasts to investigate the scene. When General McChrystal flew north, the local German commander, Colonel Georg Klein, told him that it was too dangerous to visit the blast site, four miles outside their camp, because they might get shot at.

Blowback.

This is the main reason:

After a Nato airstrike killed as many as 125 people last week, General Stanley McChrystal was keen to get the situation under control — fast.

When he tried to contact his underlings to find out what had happened, however, he found, to his fury, that many of them were either drunk or too hungover to respond.

Complaining in his daily Commander’s Update that too many people had been “partying it up”, General McChrystal, head of International Forces in Afghanistan (Isaf), banned alcohol at his headquarters yesterday, admonishing staff for not having “their heads in the right place” on Friday morning — a few hours after the deadly attack.

Who are these "some" who say that Obama is Muslim or Jewish? And do they have an IQ over 50?
