Chinese News Reports the Taliban Are Training Monkey Soldiers
According to a Chinese news publication, soldiers in Afghanistan may soon come up against a deadly new weapon in the war: monkey soldiers. The report claims that the Taliban are training the monkeys to shoot and kill American soldiers. They also claim to have pictures of monkeys holding AK-47s and Bren light machine guns. From the article: "The New York Magazine has reported about this in jest and stated on Friday, 'No invader has ever conquered Afghanistan, and now we know why. The monkeys will not allow it. It was a good effort, but it's time to pack it in. This is no longer a fight we can win.'”
This is no longer a fight we can win.
pfft...how about a fight we shouldn't be engaged in at all?
WE'RE BROKE AND OUR COUNTRY IS UNDER MASSIVE DEBT...but uh...we're gonna keep killing these fucks. Send gas, ammo, and armor. Thanks, mom!
Seriously?

Living With a Nerd
This being modded 'flamebait' is a bit silly.
Samzenpus himself rarely writes comments in his own Idle posts. Also I don't think I've actually seen anybody on Slashdot write a passionate defence of his postings since Idle was created, infact the majority of people who talk about him do so in a critical or disapproving tone. Many people just block Idle altogether.
Based on this, whoever modded my original post 'flamebait' isn't thinking straight...because even if it was intended as such (it wasn't) nobody would rise to the 'bait' and flame me in defence of an editor who many would agree is Slashdot's worst.
