Not one general or politician will face consequences for this.

More than half of the money was for diversity training.

Anyone whose seen videos of the Afghan Army training knew they wouldn’t last a week. Those idiots couldn’t even learn to march.

BTW,the Taliban is going to acquire one hell of a Airforce and military infrastructure to keep all of their gains due to the retreat and defeat of the American military.
Not that they'll know what to do with even half of it, but should make for a fun time when the new 'idiot on the block' (China) shows up.

Spain succeeded in defeating Islam but nobody is expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

Probably 3000 of the same troops they just pulled back into Kuwait from Afghanistan. Young people die so a bunch of old men and trophy wives can get rich !
To: Enlightened1
And how many hundreds of billions were spent supporting them? Or are we in the trillions now?

They were holding their own until the demonrats cut off all aid; bullets bandages and beans.

Ya gotta give a damn. All the money in the world won’t buy bravery and commitment. Afghanistan is not a nation it is a bunch of tribes who don’t like each other much. The Taliban are just the baddest tribal group in town.

Except China’s army isn’t hindered by rules of engagement. They actually kill the enemy, the enemy relatives, and torch their houses.

I remember films of the South Vietnam Army retreating! One soldier dragging his M-16 by the strap on the ground behind him.
P***es me off to this day!

The war profiteering was so vast, neocon godfather Richard Perle, safely ensconced in Paris, started his own oil company.
Bush gave the neocon warmongers an office in the WH.

Yep it seems the RVN military hung in there a couple of years after we stopped supporting them in any manner before Saigon fell.
Thanks for your service brother and Welcome Home!

The US army had the best idea during the Filipino Moors insurrection.
Coat the bullets with pig fat and bury the dead in a pig skin. It broke the back of the insurrection movement.

Also, how much of our state-of-the-art military hardware is going to be snatched up by the Taliban, or more importantly, Iran?
