How nice of the British Empire Land Down Under, especially since Australia has a hand in creating the humanitarian disaster known as the War on Terror in Afghanistan!

Israeli news media reporting that Israeli drones have become the dominant UAV in Afghanistan! Since when did Israel declare war on Afghanistan, and when did they become a part of ISAF?

So, nobody wants to use the expensive U.S. made UAVs?

It was confirmed by the U.S. FDA, that a vaccine for malaria caused a U.S. Army soldier to murder civilians. The FDA was notified by the drug maker, who in turn was notified by the pharmacist who supplied the vaccine. U.S. Army regs state that soldiers with past head wounds can not be given the vaccine because it makes them homicidal maniacs! A former U.S. Army doctor’s own investigations have revealed that U.S. Army medical regs are being ignored!
