The article I will be using is from
the New York Times. It is the story about Obama awarding the Medal of Honor to
former Army sergeant Clinton Romesha. He was awarded it for his courageous
actions performed in Afghanistan. He heroically defended a remote American
outpost in Eastern Afghanistan from an intense attack of more than 300 Taliban
fighters. Taking out an enemy machine gun, calling in air strikes, and covering
three soldiers as they recovered the bodies of fallen American soldiers he
helped prevent the outpost from being overrun by the Taliban. This story
portrays Clinton as a hero for defending his Country and saving the lives of
his fellow American Soldiers. Although, I would imagine the story would be
different if told to Taliban soldiers in some obscure newspaper they have. I
imagine the story would be quite different. I am going to recreate what that
might be. I am going to be using their perceived biases towards America to
write an article that could be conceived as true in their eyes (for the sake of
literacy I will be writing this in English instead of their native language).
“The
Taliban Times: Enemy Awarded”
This is to all fellow Taliban fighters who are fighting
against those who live in the West. This is to those who know of the crimes the
infidels have forced us to endure. News has spread from an American newspaper
called the New York Times. We have found that their newly re-elected leader
Barack Obama has given their highest military honor to a soldier who committed
crimes worthy of death and damnation. I am talking about the murder of 30 of
our brothers as they defended themselves against the infidels of the United
States Military. They fought valiantly and heroically, and in the name of their
sacrifice during the war in Afghanistan the Americans choose to award a man for
his actions against our brothers. While the war was many years ago the wounds
still pain us. We remember what happened those years ago, and the infidels
choose to spit in the faces of both our fallen men and us. This act is just
another action the West has taken to insult our ideals. We still are taunted by the western
ideals that continue to plague us today. Democracy is becoming increasingly
rampant in countries around the world. It is like a virus, infecting countries
across oceans and beyond. The West needs to learn to respect our ways of life
and stay out of our internal affairs. There is no international law that can
affect us because we only follow a higher law. We will continue to fight the
infidels in the name of Allah, and what we lack in numbers we make up in the
spirit to protect the ideals of our past fathers. This act of “awarded valor”
has hurt us, and we shall use that pain to aid in our struggle against them. We
will continue to fight, and we will stay alive as our beliefs have for
thousands of years. While the time may not be now we will rise again against
the infidels for their “heroic acts” that have hurt us so. Thank you, and
praise Allah!
