Title: One last mission in Afhanistan

Google does a decent job of translating this article... well, it intelligible at least. A good read for those interested:

Very interesting read.  Difficult translation but not bad for a machine.

A lot of good people have been lost in that country and others in a war I fear will never end.

They will never be beaten because they aren't identifiable. It is a waste of money and of lives. The level of civilisation is amongst the most backward and the people as duplicitous as I have ever come across, but then what would you do if you were petrified and protecting yourself and your family from both sides in a perpetual war?

Yeah. It looked good at first, but after scrolling down a bit it got pretty terrible at times. I wonder what genius at Google though it a good idea to translate "machinegun salvos" to "machine elves". Must be a WoW player...
