The military industrial complex just can't let go.

They're supposed to just leave them to it. That is what withdrawal means...

Like more bombs dropped on them is going to make a difference?

This is how we “got out” of Vietnam. Remove the troops but keep the airplanes a comin’.

Right? My thought...so, we are still at war in Afghanistan. How many years now? 21?

Wait, are we in 2001 or in 2021?
For a minute there I thought we were back in 2001 when we started bombing the Taliban with B52'S and what not.
Fat lot of good that ended up doing.
But hey, Dementia Joe don't know what year we are in. Chuckle.

I want to see some MOABs dropped on them, those are real crowd pleasers.

Those would pucker Chicom and Russian asses up watching that on the evening news.

Hmmmm, why am I getting visions of Lloyd Austin and and Joe Biden crawling around on the oval office floor marking up maps on what can be bombed and what can’t be?

All for show: doing something. It is costly,puts crews in danger, does very little in the long run and puts the American face back on a conflict we retreated from.

The only way to effectively deal with religious zealots is to kill them.

The gunships can kill a lot of them very quickly and more effectively than the bombers. Mosques on Friday are a target rich environment

Now we can hit the poppy fields... no reason to keep Farmers in production to keep them on the government side.

Just destroy their revenue sources.

While I am sympathetic to the plight of Afghani civilians, their troops have had a butyload if American training and supplies. What is required from them now is a little testicular fortitude.

The collapse of South Vietnam all over again. What difference is there if the Taliban takes over now or 3 months from now? Joe? Hello?

The Taliban are finally massing. That is when the US is most efficient.

I agree.

Lets just go. Leave them to the savages. After 20 years they haven’t learned to fight for themselves.

While I feel bad that the innocent will suffer, it is up to their families/parents to take care of their kids. They have chosen not to do that.

No our circus, not our monkeys.

I thought Biden already surrendered. I guess he doesn’t remember.
