Afgan conscription to fight US war
« on: September 26, 2009, 02:53:45 PM »

Enslave a bunch of Afganis to fight an American war against other Afganis.  That is a sure recipe for success.  What are these assholes thinking?
----------------

Citing targets imposed on the nation by the United States, the Afghan Defense Ministry reports that it is now drawing up a plan to impose conscription on the war torn nation as a way of meeting the US requirements.

Already nearly 100,000 strong, the US is continually pressing Afghanistan to dramatically increase its military’s size, and is now hoping they will eventually have 240,000, an enormous number for the impoverished nation.

But even though jobs are tough to come by in Afghanistan, many of its residents aren’t exactly enamoured with the idea of joining the poorly-trained military of an increasingly weakened government facing an ever escalating war against a powerful insurgency. Fortunately for the Afghan government, their post-occupation constitution gives them the authority to draft people to fill their military shortfalls.

Huh, is this new? I can't think of a historical example of hegemonic civil war. However I guess since we went in backing the mountain gorillas that now form the afghan government.


So yeah. Is this new?

I'm not sure what you mean by Hegemonic civil war but I'm sure there have been plenty of examples of stuff like this happening.

This is one big self-suck going round in circles.Eventually the US will end up with its head up its own ass.
