Afghan insurgents getting Canadian tattoos; to show there love for the Toyota Hilux truck

Guerrilla Trucks

Why rebels and insurgent groups the world over love the Toyota Hilux pickup as much as their AK-47s.

As the war in Afghanistan escalated several years ago, counterinsurgency expert David Kilcullen, a member of the team that designed the Iraq surge for Gen. David Petraeus, began to notice a new tattoo on some insurgent Afghan fighters. It wasn’t a Taliban tattoo. It wasn’t even Afghan. It was a Canadian maple leaf.

When a perplexed Kilcullen began to investigate, he says, he discovered that the incongruous flags were linked to what he says is one of the most important, and unnoticed, weapons of guerrilla war in Afghanistan and across the world: the lightweight, virtually indestructible Toyota Hilux truck.

“In Afghanistan in particular,” he says, “[the trucks are] incredibly well respected.” So well respected, in fact, that some enterprising fraudsters thought them worthy of ripping off. The imitations, Kilcullen says, had flooded the market, leaving disappointed fighters in their wake. But then “a shipment of high-quality [real] Hiluxes arrived, courtesy of the Canadian government,” he explains. “They had little Canadian flags on the back. Because they were the real deal, and because of how the Hilux is seen, over time, strangely, the Canadian flag has become a symbol of high quality across the country. Hence the tattoos.”

These trucks were obviously sponged of the Canadians under the pretext of being used for farming and are then used by the jihadis to attack our troops, run heroin, kidnap people etc.

This pretty much somes up the whole situation really.


And no Shelfside not a Skoda tattoo. A Skoda is still pretty Hi-tech piece of equipment to these inbreeders.

They should have a donkey tatto.

And if they were really being honest a donkey being rogered by an imam. ;)

"No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

The truth is the Afghan government and the warlords who are in it are running drugs aswell. F*cking disgrace of a government, probly most corrupt in the world.

Pfffff, a Hilux?? Rollux more like it. These things are reknowned for rolling over in the rough stuff, I know, I had one in Australia once and I rolled it thrice. (otherwise it's an indestructible machine, it must be said)
Having said that, if one packed with Taliban rolled over it'd be a good thing.

speaking of 20 year old jokes.

What's the difference between sticking your hand down John Holmes's pants and driving a Skoda?

You'd feel a bigger dick driving a Skoda.
