    The War in Afghanistan

    Might I suggest that if the Taliban is unable to care for the Afghani people that they might have actually considered that before taking over the country, or, alternatively, that the Taliban is simply lying and intends to live well off the backs of others and have a laugh at their enemies...

    The War in Afghanistan

    This seeming attempt to guilt people into paying the Taliban for the supposed benefit of the Afghan people reminds me a lot of the attempt to guilt libertarians into supporting BLM and antifa, and it's just as stupid.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Honestly we should have fucked Pakistan up, too.

    The War in Afghanistan

    So there was fault there and someone should have some integrity and admit to it.

    The War in Afghanistan

    It's a laughable excuse and you really should stop pushing it. It really reeks in general of just failing to live up to the Core Values that not only has no one stood up and taken responsibility for this mistake (which is a sign nothing will be done to prevent others like it from continuing to...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Or someone is being vindictive and trying to rattle both him and other Trump supporters, which is entirely in line with the "anti-extremist" crap they have been pushing since the Democrats' version of the Reichstag fire.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Except that isn't the case. This is you watching them do that and wishing you could do it, too, in an attempt to gloss over the fact that ten people were killed, seven of them children, and no "bad guys" were even to be found among them.

    The War in Afghanistan

    So you want to emulate the bad guys? Is that what you're saying?

    The War in Afghanistan

    I am aware of all of this. This is part of why careful consideration must be made in making these kinds of strikes, whether we use drones, conventional aircraft, or even specops teams, aside from, you know, giving a shit about the innocents themselves. But first and foremost is to make sure...

    The War in Afghanistan

    So it's just a bad hyperbolic debate tactic - got it! :sneaky:

    The War in Afghanistan

    The thing about mistakes, particularly ones involving the death of human beings, is that there really ought to be consequences for them. I do not foresee that happening in this case, because it has never happened. What basically happened here is that the US military murdered 10 people, 7 of...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Not only did the people who killed Americans get away, but we killed people who had nothing to do with it. Are you unaware of the fact police departments have rules concerning that very thing? So we kill children?

    The War in Afghanistan

    And? :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes: I thought you were better than being so intellectually dishonest. If it cost us more, maybe we'd be less willing to make mistakes like this and just write them off when it happens.

    The War in Afghanistan

    See, if they had actually killed someone who was actually a bad guy, and in the course of it managed to kill others, it still looks pretty bad, but if we can show that they were using said innocents as human shields, you could maybe make your arguments hold water. But they killed an aid worker...

    Apparently this account got banned. Anyone have a screenshot? Should probably do screenshots instead of linking for this stuff since the Twitter Nazis will probably be running cover for Biden.

    And? That doesn't make it right.

    The War in Afghanistan

    If it does, it certainly doesn't learn from it. Dude, I'm about as Northern as you can get without being Canadian, and I honestly don't think the bases should be renamed.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Do the Core values they drilled into my head repeatedly cease to matter in the "real" military? So, ignoring the fact that a lot of what you're bitching about has already happened, are you now claiming that this LTC is incompetent and that the higher-ups he is calling out are, in fact...
