Time Magazine reported yesterday that U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan had to burn the bodies of dead Islamic terrorists because they were BLOATED and they STANK under the 90 degrees plus heat! Well, have you ever smelled dead but obviously bloated bodies rotting under the sun for a few days? It isn't air freshner that's for sure.
It was then that Lt. Nelson took the decision that could jeopardize his service career. "We decided to burn the bodies," one soldier recounts, "because they were bloated and they stank." News of this cremation may have remained on these scorching hills of southern Afghanistan, had the gruesome act not been recorded on film by an Australian photojournalist, Stephen Dupont. Instead, when the footage aired on Australian TV on Wednesday, it unleashed world outrage. A Pentagon spokesman described the incident as "repugnant" and said that the army was launching a criminal investigation into the alleged desecration of the corpses, which is in violation of the Geneva Convention on human rights.
Fueling the furor was the fact that the TV report showed that after the bodies were torched, a U.S. Psychological-Operations team descended on Gonbaz in Humvees with their loudspeakers booming: "Taliban, you are cowardly dogs. You are too scared to come down and retrieve the bodies. This just proves you are the lady-boys we always believed you to be."
Well, that's a new new insult, "Lady-boys." Must be a slight derivative of Arnold's smack, "Girlie-men." It's all part of the Psy-Ops on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq by American forces. Surely, more Hand Wringers of America will step forward and do some more analysis claiming that by taunting Islamic terrorists with such insults as "Lady-boys" will be damaging to their psyche and well-being. And giving an excuse to handle this war with kids gloves thus leading to a more "sensitive war." Pink bonnets and flowers for the terrorists.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Burn 'em, boys! Burn the Lady-boys.
Heh.
And, a Semper Fi, too!
