Their playground, their rules.

Sad to say, not many cultures are civil

You mean the Taliban don’t fight in accordance with the Rules of Engagement and Geneva Convention???

I have a hunch that if our withdrawal from Afghanistan was being conducted under Trump, negotiations long before the withdrawal date would have firmly established that Afghan soldiers be treated with respect, and if any incidents like this one happened, there would be severe repercussions.

That’s why you have a skillful negotiator as a President, not a dementia victim.

Our Marxist overlords will do the same to us if we lay down arms.

Perhaps the Afghani soldiers should have tried discussing the root causes of the Taliban’s grievances. Sometimes a good conversation and understanding where each other is coming from can resolve a conflict.

Or, maybe not.

Horrible camera work.

Where are the dead soldiers in the video?

If the Soviet rules of engagement weren’t enuff, we had no chance with our updated “hearts and minds”.

My Uncle recounted similar incidents where he, and other Americans mowed down surrendering Japanese in the Philippines, although they were supposed to be taken as POW’s.

This makes my stomach churn. The Dems are itching to do this to conservatives.

What, no social workers there to speak to the Taliban about their feelings? Wow.

They would have done the same if the tables were turned. In a nutshell this is why this part of the world will remain a shythole forever. Forgiveness is not in their nature. They are killers by choice and it gives them pleasure.

Did the Taliban take a coupe of the heads to play polo with? It’s the national sport there.
