That would gladly empty his magazine on any Western he can possibly see.....to begin with.
Really? I saw a program by a Western journalist who went 'undercover' in Afghanistan shortly before the war. He talked to Taliban soldiers at a position overlooking a check-point. They weren't supposed to talk to him and he was breaking the rules if his visa by doing it, but they were friendly and hospitable. They not once emptied their magazines, into him or anyone else.
Not quite the heathens we're led to believe. The system was corrupt and barbaric, but the average soldier was just that.
. When you blindly serve a system of leadership that supports terrorism, you are not innocent.
You think Afghanistan was some uniform den of terrorists and their supporters? It was deeply tribal, with different warlords changing sides many times to suit their own personal agenda. It was all about power and money. Many found themselves on the wrong side of the conflict post-WTC, but six months earlier they might have been Northern Alliance.
There is a huge difference between your average Taliban soldier and the Al Queda operatives, allowed to operate out of Afghanistan.
I suppose your average SS soldier had nothing to do with the death camps.
A more accurate analogy would be "your average German wehrmacht soldier had nothing to do with the death camps". Or are all German armed forces personnel guilty of war crimes by association?
