Sure wasn't hush-a-boom. (Video at link) Pretty impressive bang for the buck. Remind me again why we still have troops there? Russkies tried for 10 years. Didn't seem to work out too well.

The video says “Taliban Drone footage”.
The Taliban have drones? What in the name of hell are we still doing there and what other toys do the Taliban have?

We need to get the hell out of that Godforsaken place. I’d be heartbroken if my son/daughter or grandson/daughter had to serve over in Afghanistan or Iraq.

We’ve spent hundreds of billions of our tax dollars and more importantly lost precious blood & treasure for what???? For Obama, a terrorist sympathizer, who wants to destroy our country? He’s damned near done it and made a joke out of our country while abandoning our allies and trying to befriend our enemies - who’ve laughed in our face because of his pathetic weakness.

Please God, deliver us Trump as our next President.

Well, the operators of that compound are/were inept novices and they paid for it.

Why that vehicle was allowed to cover hundreds of yards of roadway without being shredded by a Quad 50 is beyond me.

They didn’t take simple security precautions and they paid the price.

A few Jersey barriers and an RPG could have prevented this.

I sure hate to give Joe Biden credit for anything, but after 9/11 his advice was to bomb the place from the air. Hit every training base over and over until they run out of tents. No massive ground invasion.

Slow Joe might have been right about that.

After watching the video I am not convinced it was a IED. It could just as easily be bomb dropped by the good guys targeting the vehicle or the compound.

No guards? At ALL? I smell psyop. The place was empty.

A sick demented religion using low IQ inbreds for this type of action.
It cannot be repeated enough, keep them out, keep them out of the U.S.A.

Are our troops still guarding the poppy field?
Gotta keep those narco-dollars moving.

Drones have audio? I am not doubting the authenticity of this footage but there is audio. Plus,when the bomb goes off the sound of the explosion is instantaneous even though it would take almost a second to reach the drone. The sound of the explosion almost seems to start before the explosion takes place.
