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.'”

    newsflash: you ARE engaged in the fight, so quit whining about it, it's not accomplishing anything except demoralizing your own troops and encouraging the taliban fighters to keep fighting.
