The problem is that the media makes the Taliban look like a bunch of uncivilized cave dwellers when in reality, they're a well trained militia. The other problem is Aghanistan is mostly made up of illiterate weed heads, there was no way the US could have trained those guys properly. Imagine an army made up of Gomer Pyle azz MFs.

this is spot on.

The Taliban’s beliefs and practices are insanely barbaric, maybe the worst in the world. But because of the power in that country, a lot of able bodied and minded men in that country are in the Taliban. The “military” of the country isn’t the sanctioned one, it’s the terroristic one

Imagine trying to train an entire army of the most ignant azz dumb azz reckless ass hood mofukkas in planet earth, literally. Shyt is hopeless. And to top it off, most of them are effeminate as hell apparently.

They need to snatch some Afghan kids up and get busy with super soldier serum or some shyt.


Well I had already stated they would've been better off training the kids. It sounds harsh, but a 10 year old back then would be 20 today.

Vice has a good doc on this that goes into it further. If you have time I recommend people watch it.

These dudes are really uneducated, ignorant , smoke H and weed constantly, and some of them are either raping little boys or scamming money. Not to mention there was constant attacks by insiders against afgan forces and sometimes us soldiers which killed trust.

The taliban had all the real warriors and most of these guys are rural Shephard and merchants. There was no chance it would succeed


Just watched this whole thing. Very good watch, very insightful. +Rep

I had no ideal these ppl were so inept and that pedophilia was running so rampant. :picard:

I hope part 2 coming real soon, Maj Steuben didn’t deserve to have his career destroyed over this shyt.

I didn't know neither, but I read that the Talibans were killing everybody on that pedo shyt.

This thread is an eye opener for somebody who doesn't know much about the situation

It ain't even that

The Taliban literally was getting paid by the US the whole time:unimpressed:


The US would pay rent for the land in Afghanistan that the FOB, SOB, CP, ETC.
Were on, to some millionaire Afghans that owned the land and lived in America

People think because it was a wat that America just went over there and took land to put bases on...

That's not how it goes

And them rich mafukkas literally had ties to the taliban:unimpressed:

We KNEW this:unimpressed:


We would give $25k (US $) a pop to villagers for taliban intel

And the villagers were Taliban members giving up info the taliban literally told them they could give up to get the $
:unimpressed:


The whole war was such a fukking joke :martin:

If u was a service member and u actually thought u was there for a honest moral reason u a fukking idiot


For me i didnt give 1 shyt about them racist ass arabs:manny:
And just was there for the adventure :unimpressed:



The ONLY way to solve the issue there is to wipe out the entire Taliban and supporters and install a whole new regime that somehow was actually democratic

And they would have to be self reliant cause if the US has any involvement after the new regime then they would be corrupt like before:unimpressed:

How long were you in? Were you able to save up a good amount of money?

I'm thinking about the army but I don't know if it's worth it.

You talking about now?

it was pointless and inevitable to stay there and leave. These dudes had 7 years of training by the time the vid in the op was shot, and they looked worse than nikkas in bootcamp.

Nobody was ran or defeated, we left some place we shouldn’t have been in the first place and them dudes folded…
no biden kinda sorta did the right thing. the only thing i would have done different was pull air support last the army couldnt get supplies nor medical assistance i would ve quit too. i wouldve bombed all the shyt before it was captured
