In fact there is no war in Afghanistan, but US, German and other nation's soldiers are being killed daily - most of them are US soldiers, not to forget civilian victims.
Having been a full blooded soldier for 23 years I prefer to call it war.
Taliban are no combat troops, but they are simply terrorists, trying to obtain power over Afghanistan. Terrorists can be shot on the spot without any trial according to Geneve rules of war.
They use civilians as shields when preparing their ambush attacks and hide out in their mountain caves for a new attack.
They even stone wives who had been promised after birth to get married to a certain man. If she escapes the man she will be stoned for sure. (proved in latest reports.)
The federal republic of Germany has brought in a new "toy", the Panzerhaubitze 2000 (self propelled howitzer), capable of firing 3 rounds of 155mm shells per minute, changing firing position every 30 seconds and ready for a new round - enough time to escape from the last position in order not to await counter-fire by mortars or similar unfriendly devices. It carries 60 rounds of ammo being replaced automatically by the service truck.
If I were ISAF commander the first thing I'd order would be flattening out the mountains in northern Afghanistan (at least to a level destroying all caves) to leave the Taliban no way of escape - and then hit them deadly.
Russia was also involved in another Afghanistan war and all they got was bloody noses - retreating after 9 years.
I hate the idea of a repetition of that story.
What do you, most of all - Americans think about my idea?
