While the U.S. has had many unofficial wars such as the war on drugs and most recently the war on terror these wars not being signed off on by congress we have never had a war on a Religious group. Why then is the army playing politically incorrect "Anti-Muslim" training material that calls for bringing the fight to a civilian level, as we did in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just without the the nukes.
army revealed to use anti-muslim training materials
The video depicts children soldiers with grenades, guns, and and military outfits. The texts describes "Taking war to a civilian population wherever necessary (the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, being applicable to Mecca and Medina destruction DP in Phase III)". This suggest to me, and maybe Im wrong, that, like In the examples given, we should end innocent and civilian life to put social and political pressure on political or in this case religious leader in order to prove our power and military superiority on a group of people in this case all of Islam. We should according to the text destroy
the sanctity of the Muslim holy site of Mecca through Murder and destruction, this also suggests that all Muslims are radical extremists, which is quite frankly untrue. This training should be seen as a disgrace to our nation and to are armed forces, those who allowed such ignorant and unacceptable video should be reprimanded if not discharged for their actions of intolerance in my opinion. It is my personal belief that injustices like this are what cause a large majority of hate and pain that lives in our world today. It also forces me to ask the question of whether or not the U.S. soldier that earlier this year killed 16 civilians in Afghanistan was not exposed to this sort of training?
