Ok got to ask this for those in the military?

in the first and second world war during christmas the allies and the german stopped fighting and came out of the trenches to shake hands and wish each other merry christmas, will the insurgents do the same with the u.s forces in iraq or afghanistan, or will the u.s launch an air strike against the insugents as a way of wishing them a merry christmas like the russians did in the first chechen war when the russians fired three scuds into chechnya onto the rebels to wish them a happy new year.incidently those scuds took the u.s on red alert since they thought it was a nuke attack.ok, so what do you think will happen at christmas, will there be a truce or more bombings?

maybe the coalition will offer them a halal turkey as a symbol of peace

In The first two world wars there were Christians fighting Christians. The insurgents will use the lull to their advantage.

Considering most of the people in Iraq are Muslim and do not celebrate Christmas, I highly doubt it.


anoldmick
Now, why would you think Muslims would consider Christmas an appropriate time for a truce? No, they won't agree to a Christmas cease-fire.

Only professional soldiers could wish each other merry Christmas on Christmas day, Insurgence use the opportunities to kill enemies

The few german and allied forces that met briefly in no mans land were of similar culture and values.Many were conscripts and harsh conditions in trench life meant many were bitter about the war in general.(this did not affect the fighting spirit and bravery of both sides)
In iraq , we see syrians sending crazed brainwashed terrorists by the hundreds into iraq every week
These ppl have no values whatsoever and certainly dont recognise celebration of peace.
The kindest thing this christmas is to destroy those who are killing innocents and allied soldiers in iraq.
An invasion of iran and syria will bring hope to the middle east

merry christmas!

The insurgents don't celebrate Christmas so they're not going to stop attacking U.S. troops for anything. Also, the lull in combat you were talking about was between two Christian countries, not between a Christian country and a bunch of insurgents. I think we should drop a few 500 lb. bombs on them as a present.

There will be no cease fire. If missions are planned for that day they will be carried out.

Different war different cultures. The answer is NO!

Thank you very much while you're up.

THat was only 1 time during WW1, but nice rewrite of history junior.


genghis41f
Well, as Afghanistan and Iraq are muslim nations, they don't celebrate Christmas, especially as they are extremists. They see the 25th of December as just another day, but will probably acknowledge the fact that we will celebrate it and tactically exploit it. I therefore envisage that our soldiers will be on a higher guard state than normal on that day, unfortunately.

I think it will be a tough day for our lads and lasses. Good luck to them.

why shuld christmas be an exuse for a truce, ok it happened, but do you really think it would happen today?no would be the answer.


Le Baron
No they will not, as their beliefs are different to ours. The Germans believed in the Weinachtsmann, Father Christmas as the Brits did. They decided that on the day of our Lords birth their would be a truce not to open fire on anyone.

Shall we take the time to answer your dumb question?
NO. You are just to stupid for words.


squidly leu
There will be more bombings with no chace ever of a truce due to the insugents being totally radical.Canadian and US troops will be stuck there with no hope,like the poor peacekeepers who got stuck to serve in Cypres and Gollan heights.Hope the mess puts a good spread on for them to chow down and they get lots of cards from home,I,m sure most over there would rather be here than there.

Stupid question for points!

I think you have been watching too many movies. When you are in combat the last thing you want is friends your going too try and kill next day, it's easier shooting at a faceless enemy.

if we were to tell you we would have to kill you .
