Why were we in Afghanistan in the first place? The opium?

If you look back on some of the first real heavy exposure the Taliban got in the West around 2001, it was because they destroyed 2000 years of Buddhist history by blowing up statues in Afghanistan that were popular tourist attractions. Peaceful religion, my ass. If they did one good thing, it was outlawing Opium poppy growing, harvesting and production of the resin. Later, they used that to raise money.

There was also 9/11 and Bin Laden.

And how people seem to forget that.

I wrote 'first real exposure'- 9-11 was later that year but Bin Laden was definitely on the radar before that happened.

I guess my point is that blowing historic statues up shouldn't be a good selling point to shed blood. Not to mention desecration of religious ideological symbols is common over there.

Right- because they're so freaking tolerant.

The Taliban could be getting a taste of their own medicine. I guess it would be too much to ask for both groups to just go toe-to-toe until none of them are left...

Yep, the sooner we can get out of that sh*t hole the better, it would be great to see the sand rats blow each other to kingdom come !

I agree that they are scumbags and intolerant. So are the woke crowd canceling everyone. Should we kill them too? Without 9/11 and Bin Laden there was no reason to risk American lives. It turned into a crap show though for many different reasons. Mainly lack of U.N. support since day 1. I know many people who lost lives, limbs or friends over there for what? To watch our country be embarrassed and go down in flames. The infighting here caused by politicians, the media, and Marxist groups like blm is tearing this country apart.

This is worse than Saigon. We still have thousands of .gov civilians and contractors stranded there too. Not to mention the thousands of aid workers. Not cool at all.

Milley is your typical top brass bureaucrat kiss ass that have taken over in D.O.D. He didn't listen to any of the experts in theater and was likely coaxed to do this by Congress, the Whitehouse, or both. This won't go anywhere.

Some day, we won't need to put people in harm's way- it's impossible to be safe when the enemy is hiding behind women & children and use force to get the males to fight their battle. If they had the balls to fight in an open battle, the problem would have been eliminated long ago.

Why would they ever do something stupid like that?

Hope. If people can get prizes (or elected) for what others hope they will do, I can hope for something, too.

The problem I have with their tactics is that they use people as shields, including children, by hiding among the non-combatants.

They just do what they cynically and callously feel they have to do in order to have the best chance for success.
