The USA lost more men in training accidents than to enemy fire in the last years of the war, averaging two or fewer per month from 2015 on. The idea that the US left Afghanistan because those plucky goat herders were massacring our troops is so impossibly retarded that one wonders where it even came from.

If anything, the reason we failed in Afghanistan is because we never deployed enough soldiers. The Obama troop surge from 30,000 to 100,000 troops actually worked, but it came at a political price that Obama was not willing to pay long-term.

We were literally dropping food on enemy positions so that they wouldn't starve to death before we killed them. That is how we "fought" that one.
 
Glad to see the administration laying this shit right on the SCOTUS' doorstep. Ignore it, and eventually the executive will just ignore the judiciary. Rule on it, and this shit either stops immediately or the judiciary declares the executive impotent and powerless. But at least it'll remove all doubt.

People love the myth of plucky savages defeating the high-tech Empire so much that they outright make up fantasy stories about war-whooping Pashtuns massacring hapless US troops. The one that really sticks out to me is when somebody claimed M1A1s were defeated from horseback by raiders with AK-47s. What actually happened is we got tired of being there, so we left. And then an elderly retard changed the withdrawal date with little warning, giving a very large organization no time to plan an exit, resulting in tons of equipment being left behind.
 
Afghanistan wasn't really a war. The occupation was the point, to keep a presence in the area, and to train small group tactics. It's basically smack between Iran and China, and the Taliban are irascible enough for unlimited engagement. Last time we really went at someone was the Gooks. We killed 30% of all humans - men, women, and children - in NK in about 3 years of conflict. That's not even including the Chinese casualties. Those are fucking plague numbers..

Good. Fuck communists.

Biden and his cabinet just had no fundamental understanding of how sacred deals are over there.
When you make a deal that you're going to be pulling out on X date, you fucking honor it. When Biden pushed the date, they all saw it as heresy and used it to rile up a bunch of pissed off local warlords and insurgents to attack while the military scrambled to leave in disarray.
 
What are we doing to them in response?

Vaporizing migrant detention centers, I know I know lmao and lol, but what does that do to diminish the houthi ability to fight? you see how bad this looks for us on ALL LEVELS
Why stop at one migrant center? Hit every hospital, school, airport, grocery store and mosque that is visible. Then wait two hours and hit them all again. Then EMP the region and send in more drones.
 
Imagine how a 50-year old like me feels, having gone from fearmongering over a new ice age in the late 70s to the ozone layer panic of the 80s into the global warming bullshit of the 90s that morphed into the climate change bollocks that is now telling us global cooling is coming.
Acid rain lol

Which actually was a problem locally in places near factories where sulphur dioxide was released from smokestacks (until they installed scrubbers and things were fine) but for a few years it was The Thing To Be Terrified Of like quicksand or something.
 
I guess Dom Lucre was invited into the White House press pool and people are sperging about him posted CSAM with his logo on Twitter?

The gayest thing about all of this is them inviting their twitter cock suckers to appear or speak. I was actually mad when I saw they gave the fake Epstein files to faggot ass dc draino and jewess libs of tiktok instead of everyone else who voted for them to be released.
 
I honestly don't know how the DNC recovers in the absence of a total policy and economic meltdown of the MAGA structure that's been erected within the GOP. I'm talking like breadlines and government cheese at home and China/Putin making us bitches abroad kind of meltdown. The kind that can't be spun away or gaslit to death. The DNC spent billions and threw everything they had at 2024 and came up laughably short.

I'm still not convinced that "MAGA" can survive the cult of personality. The future post-Trump is unclear to me.

you start organzing flight ops to bomb schools full of children and hospitals full of sick people you will have piltos telling you to go fuck yourself so much faster than you realize

super easy to say that behind a keyboard there are very few pilot level candidates who will willingly bomb civillians.

Schools and hospitals my guy? fucking quit being a pussy and advocate for nuclear arms use en mass if your going to go that way.

Sorry, not trying to be MATI, just irks me bad when people so callously talk about putting the torch to CITYS like Sun Tzu himself dident preach how terrible putting a city itself to siege is
