    We should have left a long time ago.

    We had US Marines playing "city cop" while simultaneously trying to engage an enemy who doesnt play by the rules that we have to in a place whose culture was totally foreign to us.

    We are killers. Not mall cops.

    Once the ROEs changed, the war was over. At least OUR war was over. From there on, it was a losing affair.

    The US cam there to get rid of Al Qaida. They did.
    The US stayed there to fight the Taliban, to install a puppet regime.
    They did so before in Iran.
    The US surveyed the lands to see how much natural resourced is could dig up.
    I can source the US army surveyed the lands.
    The US has no authority to intervene in such domestic issues.
    And the US has been beat by the Taliban.
    And I do not relish a thing about the Taliban. That's just a lame personal attack.

    He made no tough judgement call at all. You're basically calling that SAS soldier who ratted him out as a liar. That's just jaw dropping. And of course this has to do with white nationalism. You just don't shoot at an innocent brown Muslim with his hands up as if it's a melon.

    The Taliban is by far almost all locals.
    You're confused with Al Qaida who was mostly made out of foreigners.

    The Taliban represent the will of large segment of that civilization. For America to "win" would require genocide. That is not going to happen. You cannot bomb a bronze age tribalistic hell hole into anything resembling a decent civilization. Get out and ban ALL immigration from Afghanistan.

    It is the globalist elites that want to be in Afghanistan, absolutely nobody else does.

    Bronze age tribalistic hell hole? Funny. They seem to have a much better sense of being a community than Americans, with all it's racism and mass shootings, petty political squabbles. Yeah.. that's some enlightened cultural crap. lol

    Move there then. I am sick of liberals telling me how much better Muslim countries are while refusing to leave America to live in those utopias.

    I know America is far better than any Muslim country simply by looking at the direction of travel. Muslims all seem to want to live in America and nobody here wants to live in a Muslim country (other than recent Muslim immigrants or their children, and some far leftists).

    Islam has no history or place in America. Attempting to establish and grow it here will do nothing but set up for massive violence in the future. Islam is more than a religion, it is also a system of governance. As such, it is completely incompatible with Western secularism. It is unique in that respect. No other religion has this conflict.

    I am all for completely moving out of all Islamic countries. The interest in them is completely with the globalist elite. Ordinary Americans want nothing to do with them. I consider what Islam is doing to Europe to be criminal and the people who allowed it to happen to be traitors. No Islamic country would ever let their own cultures be demolished in the same way.

    The problem is that you Americans keep on invading and massacring around in the middle east.
    Apparently making mass killings in your own country is not enough.

    You go source that nonsense.

    Christianity and Judaism also have no place in the America. But you lot made it so through genocide of the ingenious. Such is the way of the west and why Christianity has been spread across the globe the most.

    I keep hearing that. But that hasn't been happening for decades on end.
    In fact, American Jews are rather fond to ethnically cleanse around in the WB and live close to Muslims.

    Just out of curiosity, do you have information verifying the one doing the ratting out was an SAS soldier? That wasn’t what the documentary said.

    It is a big whoop, because many of the POWs I processed were not from Afghanistan.

    The documentary clear states he was attached to a SAS unit. He was not SAS.

    This person will probably get charged with war crime. If an Afghanie soldier did this, they would get 77 virgins. See the difference?

    19 years of war in Afghanistan, and we’re shocked that this type of brutality happens?

    It says in my link:
    Former SAS operative Braden Chapman first deployed to Afghanistan in 2012, when the brutal conflict there was in its 11th year.


    So it's a SAS operative not part of SAS?
    Sure.

    You only proved that something like 90% of the Taliban is Afghan, but you claim something else.

    Trump withdraws half of U.S. forces from Iraq…

    The governments of the two countries said in the statement that “in light of the significant progress made towards eliminating the threat from ISIS, the United States will continue in the coming months to reduce its forces in Iraq.”

    He received his training in a different unit, on a different base, under a separate branch of the DOD. When intelligence officers complete their training they are attached to various units in regular army, SAS, and dedicated intelligence units.

    He is not SAS.
