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.'”

    If you start arming monkeys, you end up with a banana republic.

    I've got a better option, let's cut and run, and let those fucks continue to conquer the world.

    Clearly, hurling rocks at tanks = conquering the world, while spending billions upon billions of dollars on advanced weaponry and yelling at anyone that doesn't agree with us isn't conquering the world.

    And, naturally, trying to convert as many countries as possible to our way of doing things doesn't count as conquering.

    So, you keep supporting our troops by encouraging our enemies, and I'll keep killing the fuckers who intend to kill you if you don't convert.

    That's funny...I don't seem to recall American citizens being killed by Muslim's on a regular basis until we invaded their countries.
