Monkey Terrorists

[vicious_squid]

Last week, a report in the Chinese state-run People's Daily newspaper alleged that the Afghan Taliban has begun training monkeys in areas along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border as part of the struggle against occupying NATO forces. According to the story, the monkeys are sometimes offered bananas and peanuts as "a series of rewards and punishments to gradually teach them how to" fire Kalashnikovs, light machine guns and trench mortars. (Taiwan's Apple Daily has come up with a brilliant computerized animation of these recruitment tactics.) The People's Daily article quotes a number of unnamed, supposedly "inside" sources, including a U.S. official, but NATO spokesmen have since dismissed any knowledge of these so-called "monkey terrorists."

wow.

 

interesting. i guess they realised that killing themselfs only depletes their numbers.

didn't nostradamus say something like "when the dolphins wash up on beaches due to man's hatred, man will end" or something.

 

also, it is a fact that the taliban/ACM believe that there are forcefields around US Army FOBs (forward operating base). which is their explanation for them simply not being able to hit anywhere near it with their rockets. you know, forcefields, like the ones in Star Wars.

Personally, I'm not sure that they would. Yes, it's easy to imagine a few stupid sods in a mountain cave with stolen equipment they don't quite grasp when thinking of Taliban fighters (or desert goblins). But really, if they were such a incompetent enemy, then how can they still pose a threat after all the years that's gone by? What I'm saying is, the Talibans shouldn't be underestimated or considered stupid. If they had been nothing more than a real-life equivalent to sand goblins or something like that, then there wouldn't be any of them left. They're apparently quite good at using their limitations in their favour, and, after all, they've had a lot of practice. Didn't Rambo team up with them, or some very similar movement, at some point? :biggrin:

 

However, if they really are experimenting with monkeys for frontline service, then it's probably not that a bad an idea as it looks like on first glance. Who knows?
