They evenm get the Pleasuresas They Kill Innocent kids & Women, ???

Americans Make Me Sick , its All About comfort and False freedom. dateline Is speaking About Burger King In A war Torn Country while we Have Other Much more important issues to worry about . Like Getting The Hell Out Of Afghanistan, what In Gods Name Are We the Laid back Australian People Doing getting court up with issues that don't Concern Us at all. America says Jump we say how Hi, If its So Great to have These treats And Luxury's Do So, But have them in our own back yard not while Killing!

Business as usual - the American way, where ever

A flawless plan I must admit. Offering the marines a slice of home, an ingenious concept. But what's really happening here is the influx of money (received by the marines for being over in Afghanistan) which is stagnant now has a pathway back home. It's way to circulate money back to America. Cashed up marines buying American goods, all to keep the wheel turning. Please..... anyone with half a brain can see what's going on.

All seemed rather surreal to me. Big Macs @ Bagram? In some respects it makes sense to allow the troops some 'home comforts' even if MacDonald$ can't be classed as anything but crap. But in other way typifies what's wrong with any occupying country. If the locals can make some money then let them Whatever, great reporting I don't watch Dateline as often as it deserves and I should but when I do I enjoy and learn Keep it up ;-)

So much for those foreign opportunists seeing a quick buck in war torn places. Do they know they're contributing to the abhorrent situation outside the US base? Why shut these businesses down, they should be handed to Afghans as part of the cause of giving these people some hope of self determination. As for the jewellery shop owned by the ruthless crooks in Karzai's govt., the millions in profits from that won't go to the welfare of the Afghan people. The wrong people are dying in Afghanistan.
