When I was 19, I met a giant among men. Sgt Major Ellis was a Marine’s Marine that stood as proud as the uniform he wore. He knew everyone in the battalion by name (all 1,000, or so) and could outrun most Marines a decade younger than him. He was killed by a suicide bomber. His story is not unique.
The white graves that mark Arlington, and countless other cemeteries across America represent a story like his. That is why veterans feel bitter, angry, and betrayed after the slipshod pullout of Afghanistan. Not only because of the way it was conducted, but because this was a war we could have and should have won.
The takeaways from Afghanistan might be horrendous. Consider if we draw the lesson: “the military does not work.” Coupled with China’s aggressive imperialistic designs, this could be existentially fatal. That is why it is imperative to get this issue right.
Wars are won by breaking an enemy’s will to fight. Not by making them like you, but by making them fear you. This was the case in WWII. Almost every major city in Germany and Japan was pulverized. This had the effect of not only crippling their ability to wage war, but also sapping their will to take up arms.

I suppose this is the only way to end our democrat cult problem. Just wipe the whole country clean guilty or innocent just to make sure they are broken.
Afghanistan needs a few good snipers. Those criminals are sitting ducks on that lake. Get them before they get you.
Bottom line - What used to be the best fighting force on the planet was defeated by a bunch of goat herders who live in caves. Nothing more needs said......
Looks like they’re enjoying their 2nd amendment rights as well.
They will have many snipers with all the gear we left them. And they will exact a huge toll with it.
