In 1976ish there was a coup or coup attempt. This led to a bunch of different uprising in one. A military coup won out and the ended up becoming more fundamentalist. The army and Air Force enforced the laws. Russia invaded in 1977ish in response and dominated the Afghans real quickly. It was a combination of Russians and other Soviet republic countries. They hired Afghans as guides, used some of them as additional fighters, interpreters, etc. they trained them to be Russian soldiers since the Russians considered them part of the Soviet Union. The Afghan army and Air Force disbanded and began a guerilla campaign. They were already trained but needed more arms and funding to make it work.

Eager for an opportunity to uno-reverse the communists for Korea and Vietnam. The US began dropping Anti air weapons and CIA liaisons. The CIA gave intelligence, money, weapons, and training for anti air weapons to combat the Russian air bombardments.

The Afghans already knew how to fight a guerilla war and, though they died a lot during the conflict, they passed the lessons on.

After the USSR gave up the educated Afghans, that experienced the modern Kabul in the early 70’s were killed and scattered in the fighting. Many left the country to the grandparents and parents of those we see today. The Taliban that grew out of the mujahideen (that fought the Russians) continued to pass on combat experience and used them to further cripple the rest of the country.

The found that there was infinite money to be made by turning the country into a giant trap house, selling opium, women/girl sex slaves, illegal arms/munitions etc. all this under the guise of fundamentalist Islam. In truth it was all for the money. The old mujahideen that didn’t want to participate became warlords, shadow governors, mercenaries, farmers.

After a whole the Taliban fukked up and started using Afghanistan as a pay-for-play terrorist training resort. 9/11 happened they got invaded and ran off the block into Pakistan. They gathered their forces and returned every spring. They returned in the winter to lick their wounds because they got donkey fukked every time. A lot of the older ones died off, retired, became shadow governors, politicians, etc.

They continued to train, learn, and refine themselves. They continued to get donkey fukked until we left and they could come out and let their nuts hang like Smokey when deebo goes home.

Long story short they already had their training. They learned a little from us but, like any capable force, combat skills are gained through experience and repetition. Theses are the professional descendants of the old Afghan Army and Air Force. The Taliban actually had an Air Force for a little bit, back in the day, if you want to look them up.

This just feels like propaganda

Which part?

Alot of these videos are old and people weren't speaking about the war as it was going on.

Just flew their lawn flags and "Remember 9/11"

Ive only spoken to dudes from Iraq so what happened in Afghanistan is news to me.

All of a sudden there is 24/7 media on Afghanistan the past week. For like 2 decades if you wanted to know anything in depth about the middle east, you had to go to a foreign news channel or an underground channel. Now all of a sudden it's prime time news

Just odd. And I don't trust the media's agenda one second

Media wants to try to get people to get behind us going back into Afghanistan, which might have worked if they tried this strategy 10 years ago. Now people are over being in a country whom most Americans have never actually met someone from Afghanistan. I actually worked with a guy from Afghanistan before, what he told me about his country and what he told me he felt about our country after being over here for(at the time) 2 years is eye opening.

Makes sense, I see it as something to hit Biden over the head with myself. Nothing more than that.

It’s like I said before. Endless amounts of reports, pictures, videos, PowerPoints go up to the pentagon. It gets condensed for the White House and senate.

The media picks out what’s the most sensational and profitable, for them, to show. The average person doesn’t give enough of a fukk to look. It’s been on YouTube, live leak, blogs, etc. since it started.

The public is usually pretty passive about news and waits for the headlines to slap them in the face. Even then it doesn’t seem like they read beyond the headlines.

Reagan and Bush Sr. trained and armed their predecessors the Mujahideen, who trained eventually trained the Taliban.

this was a big complaint at the time. After the Russians left we basically abandoned the country instead of helping them rebuild. Thats when they collapsed and the fundamentalists took over. Afghanistan used to be a relatively modern-minded country.

:mjlol:

I wonder where this was at. Their conscripts were the worst I’ve ever seen lol. They were semi-capable and willing where I was at. Ours had heart, at least. They just wanted to get kills, smoke, and show off. And live chickens randomly appear wherever they were living on our bases lol.

they were using those chickens to send messages.
some of them had little cameras on them so they could spy.
you didn't know this?

I want to :mjlol: but this is just sad. Did you really hear what was said in that video, those US soliders were there for 7 years already and this is the result. Think of the American lives lost (:mjcry:), the billons of dollars. For what? So a few cacs in America could get rich.

The difference between the ANA and the Taliban is the Taliban believe God is on their side. This is something they truly believe. How can you lose, if you believe God is on your side?


ETA: And some of you want these drug addicted illiterate backward ass fukks to come here.
