Saloonist 04/25/17 4:12:03 PM #1:	Taliban fighters, wearing uniforms and driving two military vehicles, drove into the base, claiming to have wounded soldiers in need of urgent medical care. A witness said that the attackers passed unchallenged through an outer checkpoint, killed two guards at the next one, and destroyed a third one with rocket-propelled grenades. At the time of the attack, most soldiers were unarmed, attending Friday prayers at a mosque on the base and eating at a restaurant. A soldier who witnessed the attack said that "It was a chaotic scene and I didn't know what to do [...] There was gunfire and explosions everywhere." Another soldier described how an attacker had set up a machine gun through the window of a truck "and shot everyone in his way." It was the single deadliest known attack on an Afghan military base in the course of the long war. According to the Taliban, four of the attackers had served as soldiers who had been staged at the base and knew its layout. Two of the attackers detonated their suicide vests in the mosque and eight others were killed in the ensuing gun battle. It took about five hours for security forces that responded to the attack to kill the militants and secure the base. 140 soldiers were killed and 160 wounded in the massacre, according to provincial official Mohammad Ibrahim Khair Andesh. A Taliban statement released after the attack claimed that a total of at least 500 Afghan soldiers had been injured or killed.

If that is admirable, in any way, to you..? @tc then you're just a fool and you sicken me</quote> Meh the Taliban doesn't exactly have qualms about how they kill people, they're just looking to do it in the most efficient manner possible, which is exactly what they did here, hence elite.

He was quite cagey also. I bet you do. 150 men mowed down, eating their fucking lunch, more wounded.. this guy thinks it was a pretty sweet tactical blow. Whereas snipers working in secret and at a distance, or air crews who drop bombs from high altitude, only ever hit enemies who are pointing guns at them; and they always give their targets a fighting chance to defend themselves against the attack. I understand why you feel the way you do, but it'd be naïve to imagine that our bombs and shells have never killed unarmed enemy soldiers who were eating, sleeping, taking a shit, or recovering from wounds. --- /propaganda <cite>Funkdamental posted [p:877920618] in 10 TALIBAN...
