Marine Corps bans audible farting in Afghanistan Updated at 7:17 PM
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/310782
Washington - The United States Marine Corps has banned audible farting in Afghanistan because it is culturally offensive to civilians working with the military and members of the Afghan National Army.
The Military Times Marine Corps blog, Battle Rattle recently posted the news that "audible farting has been banned for some Marines downrange because it offends the Afghans."
The ban has caused a stir among former and current members of the military who question the reasoning behind the decision which has ignited a firestorm of comments from readers and fellow bloggers of Battle Rattle.
Military soldiers have already been required to obey regulations ordering them to not curse around members of the Afghan army or the civilians they encounter while on patrol. They are also under orders to not discuss women or politics with people from Afghanistan. But for now, breaking wind could earn them an appearance before their superior officers.

1. Water boarding is still okay, though?
As long as we have our priorities in order for spreading freedom around the world.

2. But they can still kill indiscriminately, right?
:argh:
And they wonder why we claim they don't support our military, they are either being called murderers or freeloaders at the DUmp. :banghead:

But in another forum here, sir, as a news item.
That one, we know what our opinions are, about the matter.
This one, we learn the opinions of the primitives.
And then get to laugh at the primitives.

Audible farting banned for US Marine corps within Afghanistan (http://www.newsytype.com/10576-audible-farting-afghan-ban/). Surely, more and more people will really laugh at this kind of issue. I can say that it is one of the proofs how soldiers are willing to sacrifice and do just to serve and defend our country.

SBD is okay though, right?

Not during the daylight hours of Ramadan. The smell might remind them of their last meal.

actually, we should start a nationwide campaign to "arm" the Marines with hundreds of thousands of whoopi-cushions and carpet bomb afghanistain with a deluge of fart sounds.

Sleep tight ****er.

Solved! I mean let's face it, Eleanor Roosevelt was dead right. All we have to do in order to accommodate our sensitive "allies" is to relieve all those uncouth marines and rotate in all the ghey troops who were just clamoring to enlist.
C'mon, you all know the old joke about the gheys and their silence...

Military Times states that top brass are harping on something new. Audible farting is now a banned activity (Audible farting banned for US Marine corps within Afghanistan (http://www.newsytype.com/10576-audible-farting-afghan-ban/)) Oh, gee sometimes flatulence is not voluntary! I don't see how they can ban a naturally bodily function? Really the life of a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan is filled with trials. :D

As one article said farting is practically a sport in the Marines. :lmao:
-
At one of my squadrons, we used t have farting contests that were judged by loudness, odor and "hang time"........
-
No farting in front of people who wipe their asses with their bare hands and who have to be taught what a toilet is.
Go figure.
