re: #202 Targetpractice

And that’s just it, Dark, the damage has already been done. The people there and here have lost faith that this war can be won in any manner that won’t leave us running from Afghanistan with our tails between our legs. When the average Afghan on the street is more inclined to believe the Taliban than us, then it’s game over.

Most Afghans actually do know we’re more honest than the Taliban, but it matters to them who commits an act. They may well know that the Korans that were destroyed were desecrated first by the prisoners they were given to, but that’s not important because the prisoners were Muslims and the Americans who burned the books aren’t. They also know that Taliban attacks are often as bad as this attack was, but they didn’t think one of us would do something like this. So they know the enemy does things worse than what we do, but that does not matter as much because everyone expects the Taliban to behave in an evil fashion.
