Report: Marines Banned from Farting in Afghanistan

Marines in Afghanistan have reportedly been told not to pass gas around Afghans to avoid offending the indigenous population.

That’s right, now any leatherneck who lets one rip on patrol with Afghans nearby could receive a a talk from his superior officer.

The new flatulence restriction was first picked up by the Military Times, and has since become fodder for online discussion ranging from the curious to the ridiculous.

A few military bloggers have taken it seriously and found the ban to be indicative of a trend among military brass of bending over backwards to avoid offending the locals.

Others have pointed out that a culture that has allowed stoning, various forms of execution, and amputations as penalties for criminal offenses should be able to withstand a little passed gas.

The new regulation is not covered in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the military has not even confirmed it exists.

For now, the “fart ban” appears to be simply a guideline for good manners while Marines are out on patrol.

We’ll let you know if the Blaze catches wind of any developments.

we did our homework about obama’s muslim connections and researched the koran stuff. the whole farting issue coming from people who don’t know what toilet paper is and use their HAND to wipe with, is a joke. just one more thing to constrict OUR militray over there.

mohammed (the psychotic doper pedophile crimelord who invented islam to control his followers and pillage and terrorize his neighbors and ”marry” their 6 yr old daughters) had a whole list of rules about their rear ends.
you cannot use less than 3 ROCKS to wipe off your rear with.
you cannot laugh if the guy in front of you (groveling on his forehead with his rear end up in the air) farts.

  Wait…tell me if I am missing something here:
  
  Farting is offensive to Muslims now, but homosexuality isn’t anymore? What did I miss?
  
  You can serve openly in the military now, but you must force yourself to control a natural bodily function?
  
  That’s twisted. I say “FREE THE FARTS! ALLOW SOLDIERS TO OPENLY FART WHILE SERVING! IT IS THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL, NAY, GOD-GIVEN RIGHT! IT IS NATURAL! IT IS HUMANE! BY GOLLY, WHY SHOULD ONE WHO SERVES HAVE TO HIDE SOMETHING THAT IS SO PERFECTLY NATURAL AS FARTING???”

  Do you suppose that they could be aroused by the sound of a fart and don’t like to feel that way towards a non-animal,in this case, Marines? I think I would keep mine “silent but deadly” in that case. Could this be a weakness in their phsyche that we could use against them? How about making a recording of goats and camels passing gas and using it to get combatants to gather for the Happy Ending.

  If I’m not mistaken ALL Arab/Muslims don’t allow homosexualism and deal very harshly with homosexuals (Execute them). Oour Military Forces are now “forced” to allow homosexuals to serve in their ranks openly. I wonder which is the most offensive to the Muslims, farting or having sex with the same sexual gender ? Can’t FART but homosexual sex is allowed ? Yea right,, get real !

  Let me see if I have this straight. If you‘re a US Marine serving in Afghanistan you can be punished for farting in publicbe cause it’s an offensive act to the Afghanies. However, if you‘re a homosexual you can commit sodomy and that’s acceptable military conduct under the new forced banning of the DADT regulation.
  
  Farting, which is a natural biological function has been banned but hommosexuallity, a perverted sexual act, is now approved and even encouraged by the new forced anti-discriminatory US Military regulations covering homosexuallity.
  
  Homosexuallity is strickly prohibited and punishable by death in both the Muslim Koran and Christian Bible. I‘m an old school US Marine and I’m glad I got out of the Corps before the sodomites received permisson to openly practice their perversion. They can’t FART but they can take a **** up their ass. In my 72 years I thought I had seen and heard everything but I was wrong. Semper Fi…..

  Nice to see that the higher ups in the military have their fingers on the pulse! Are you kidding? No Marine would be farting in the mid east if our government knew how to do it’s job… which is to kick a$$ and ask questions later. This is what happens when you ‘try to win the hearts and minds of the people’, you bend over backwards so strenuously and when some gas escapes you get reprimanded for it. It‘s friggin’ abusive of our military.

  Our soldier do represent us as a people, so I do not think it is wrong to ASK them to be respectable people.
  
  If the soldiers are in the field, I say who cares…there are bigger things to worry about then passing gas.
  
  On the other hand I don’t think this should be done just because it offends the afghans. the reasons pointed out already by a few people.
  
  But if it becomes a real BAN with written papers to back it up….please help us….

  According to a kid’s show on Nickelodeon, an average person passes gas 13 times a day. Mohammed passed a law forbidding laughing at anyone who makes wind while praying to Allah. What should be the punishment?
  
  Placing ones face on the floor next to some guy’s smelly socks and raised anus must have a repugnant aroma.
  
  Factoid: Camels belch and/or fart every few minutes.
  
  Mohammed had other rules about proper defecation. It’s true that one should select three white smooth stones. But one must use the left hand because the right hand is used to eat with your fingers. The devote Muslim should silently thank Allah for making his/her body function properly.
  
  Sharia law doesn’t require washing the hands after using the toilet so we can eliminate sinks and soap dispensers.

How about the donkeys and goats of the locals?

It is a natural function of most animals. Can I ban my dog from excreting gas?

Are Americans supposed to hold in their gas in the presence of Muslims in OUR OWN country?

This fart story stinks, just like the insinuation that “military brass (are) bending over backwards to avoid offending the locals” is just mindless doctrine because lowly Afghan civilians deserve less respect than Americans.

This story is obviously NOT US military policy in writing or otherwise.

But we welcome those individuals to come back home and fart loudly in the subways and at our child strollers. That would be totally military, totally professional, and not an issue.

Marines are real killers but they are also real hucksters as well. No doubt a trend among the PFC level was to see who can rip the loudest in front of the Afghanis knowing this was offensive. This trend grew until someone at the top caught wind of it (pun intended) and had to address it out of PCness. What a wonderful world.

  You should believe it. For some odd reason, Arabs are highly offended by such normal bodily functions as flatulence as well as belching. We lived in Kuwait for two years and my husband worked with the MOD. One of the other American workers passed gas and the Kuwaiti Col. made the company kick him off the team. He had to be repatriated back to the states.

This is an understandable restrictions. I am sure that everything in Afganistan smells soooo sweet (especially is flower-scented villagers).
