Terrorists 'fly captured $6m US Black Hawk helicopter over Kandahar'

A video shared online by a page claiming to be the official news source of Islamic Emirate Afghanistan comes with the caption 'Our Air Force' and describes it as patrolling the city.

Just heard today the Taliban are going to open up an Army/Navy surplus store and call it:

Traitor Joe's !

Speaking as a 24 year retired US Army 3 war vet, the current administration is more dangerous than any external threat. Frankly, with the woke libtard bubblegum-hats in charge we are doomed!

20 yrs of a pointless war, if only it was plain / simple huh. sigh...

Pointless? Not the first 1-2 years. Speaking as one who was there. Better to kill them there than here.

SOF and air power removed the Taliban from power in a matter of weeks. Should have been gone from A-stan after that.

SOME of the ANG fled, but im also 100% positive most happily embraced the taliban...

No doubt that many probably did. Some, the true believers, are still fighting. They will, of course, be overrun as the Talib sees fit.

Afghanistan is a country of mercenaries. The ANP are especially vulnerable to forcible conscription because they are recruited locally... the local Talib can easily use threats of, and actual, torture/murder against their families to get them on board..
ANA soldiers often only endured our intervention ("assistance") for the bennies, but were for sale if/when a more attractive deal came along or they were otherwise coerced forcefully enough (blue on green attacks).
The bad guys join whichever group looks to be on top. Hired guns. Enforcers. Man-dress Mafia.

Next Topic;

The straw man in this whole debacle is the false equivalency of "withdraw sloppily" or spend another 20 yrs and multiple $Trillions there. Nobody, NOBODY, is arguing that point.

The withdrawal was handled poorly. I don't think that's arguable. Unraveling 20 years of military/industrial complex lies and malfeasance, misappropriation, and corruption is going to take years (decades) of committed investigation... many of the key players and shot-callers will have to be indicted post-mortem. That's where having an actual curious and investigative media would serve us best. Unfortunately, we don't have that anymore and our country suffers for it.

How about the "rules of engagement" our politicians and top brass came up with, that and trying to win their hearts and minds spelled doom for the occupation.
