The Afghan people are only as loyal as the money. If the Army pays more than the Taliban they work for the army if the Taliban offers more than the army they work for the Taliban same with the drug lords. They are gutless disloyal and dishonest people.

Bingo

My neighbor said the exact same thing 2 weeks ago, he spent 7 years over their and said the money we were throwing around was crazy to keep them happy. Obviously as soon as it stopped they resorted back to thr primitive thinking.

Right on Sapper.

I bet Taiwan and a nice little conflict in the South China Sea is next. However, a war 90 miles south of Florida would be a good wakeup call for the beta Americans to "Harden the F*** up" though.

Our War Fighters are excellent and elite; the best in the world and in history - this is no reflection on them.

This is the fault of the spineless cowards in Washington. The politicians and those that allow them to keep their phoney-baloney jobs are at fault for this one. I say that because the enemy needed a higher body count and 'Soft America' can't/couldn't/won't stomach that. The politicians that run under the guise of public service, but know nothing of living for anyone other than themselves and their elitist chrony buddies - this exit is on their shoulders. It is the fault of the Red Team and the Blue Team - those teams have turned their back on the red, white, and blue population that made our nation the greatest and most prosperous nation mankind has ever known.

The defense contractors were the only 'winners'...again.

The next war needs to be with the gloves off, give our guys the ammo and tell anyone that doesn’t want to be killed to vacate the area ASAP and if your still thr tomorrow we will assume you want to fight and we will kill your [censored] period. This tender loving care stuff is BS and it gets our guys killed,,, if we’re going to fight then by god fight or get the hell out of the way…. They need to put me in charge of the next war and we will all die or kill every last one of those SOB’s period… We loose because our piss ant paper pushers don’t have the balls for the bloodshed it takes to kill the enemy and just like these asshats they all needed to die and start the country over from scratch if we’re going in.
Maybe I’m harsh but my patience has run completely out with this war, the screwed up election, BLM and the Covid chit,,,

You can thank Gen Petreus for that he is the one who created hearts and minds mindset.

Yep..............General BetrayUS

Honestly, if it wasn't a certainty before, Biden is definitely a one termer after all this.

Like I've said before - American soldiers win wars. American politicians lose wars.

Actually he was a no termer, he didn’t win. He was installed

You forgot to add largely illiterate. All of those attributes and we think they can run a constitutional republic?

This!

Exactly. The best way to enslave people is to dumb them down and then brainwash them America well Democrats are attempting to do the same thing in America. The less educated people are the less likely they are to question what your telling them. They quickly become dependent on the govt to think for them and provide for them.

All that military training (and equipment) that was provided to the Afghan Army is now going to be passed on to the Taliban.

that'll stop them dead in their tracks

I consider you the most knowledgeable person I know on what it's like over there. Thanks!

We did something similar there in the past.

"We are the world"

When will the bullets and RPG's start flying????


Lets get this chit ON !!!

Have you gone down to the local armed forces recruiting office and enlisted yet?
