Driving while Afghan
It's even worse than driving while black here in the good old USA.
Here driving while black will get you pulled over and hassled, while driving while Afghan in Afghanistan is enough to get a laser guided missile up your and your children's ass. After you're blown to pieces your surviving relatives get to hear about 'regrets' and maybe get a pay off.
The person who ordered the bombing, the pilot, McChrystal, Petraeus, Gates and Obama may justify and excuse this, and promise some bullshit investigation that will be forgotten by the next news cycle, but it is obviously inevitable when you are running a bloody occupation and the value of the civilians there are not worth a hundredth of your gallant warriors lives.
'Hearts and minds' should be renamed 'hearts and brains and intestines'. That is all they will ever win there.
