What are the troops actually doing out there at the moment? Is it mostly training ANA?
Mason Perry
Thank God and Trump. Sick of this constant middle east meddling that the US has been stuck in for the past several decades.
William Diaz
Gun running to ISIS and money laundering to Raytheon and the other MIC faggogts.
Lincoln Campbell
>more than 3,000 U.S. troops getting pulled out, the source said. There are 15,000 troops currently on the ground How about we pull them all out and tell the ANA they can fuck themselves?
Eli Davis
i wager its mostly logistical support and special forces . which are likely advising the ANA . regardless we already withdrew so many in obamas term and it didnt do anything positive other than increase the numbers of taliban.
Andrew Stewart
>politician promises large withdrawal of troops from afghanistan: episode 36
Josiah Lopez
>SecDef Mattie resigned because of Trump’s memes >The Orange madlad actually pulled us out of Syria Yeah, totally just another empty promise
Parker Anderson
Fuck yes.
Trump turned out to be a great president after all.
First he slapped the Neo-Cohens in the face with Syria, now this.
> it didnt do anything positive other than increase the numbers of Taliban. All it did was allow the Taliban to more openly claim territory they essentially controlled anyway, and seize some more that they previously owned. Which is good because no solution is going to happen without an agreement between the Taliban and Government, instead of everyone pretending that the Taliban was just some small underground group of terrorists rather then the large tribal linked state player that it is.
see helps prove my point >15,000 US troops chasing after an official estimate of 1,500 Taleban regulars for the last 20 years. >only 1500 Taliban

>"see helps prove my point" uhhhhh user thats not accurate at all , the taliban number 4x more than the current number of american troops currently in afghanistan today
also no one is denying the fact that the taliban have historically been tribally linked to many of the provinces and that is partially the fault of the apathy of the ANA and the Afghan police. but in general a symptom of islamic theology that plagues the middle east and events such as russia invading afghanistan
They are performing security for opium growers and heroin cooker and making sure the child raping warlords are never prosecuted nor attack.
Samuel James
>uhhhhh user thats not accurate at all , the taliban number 4x more than the current number of american troops currently in afghanistan today you misread I was using him as an example of the kind of thinking that has made Afghanistan such a waste of time, ie the thinking that the Taliban is a small hardcore terrorist group that is somehow separate from a large part of the population.
Also the Taliban have toned down quite a bit on the fundamentalism in order to win hearts and minds which is probably one of the only good things to come from the conflict.
so in a country of 31 million people you think only 1500 Taliban have managed to occupy and shadow govern over a third of the country against hundreds of thousands of enemies?
use your fucking brain
James Cooper
The 1,500 would be the full-time leadership cadre. The bulk of the fighting force is a part-time militia mobilized locally where needed from the allied villages and tribes.
Those fixed numbers you quote are laughable.
Lincoln Martinez
there were many cool vidya created from it, but its time for something new
Dominic Murphy
that well cited 1500 full time Taliban number you claim is more laughable.
The Taliban have full time governors, tax collectors, police/local security, IED makers, active fighters ready to fight enemy incursions at any time, man checkpoints, lead offensives and carry out patrols, leadership and logistic personal, propaganda producers etc, etc. The fact you think theyre doing all this and holding down a number of districts with millions of people living in them under constant enemy pressure and frequent leadership assassinations, attrition of fighters/personal in combat and army operations, as well as maintaining constant pressure on contested districts with what amounts to the number of people in a large highschool, working full time is whats laughable.
I understand most fighters are part time and supplement there wages during harvesting seasons etc. But it takes far more then 1500 on the books full time to maintain and expand what the Taliban posses, unless that 1500 is a bunch of immortal, spartan demi-gods of some sort.

You should have heard the one faggot reeeeing on Fox & Friends. One of his buddies asked him why we would want to be in Syria forever and he went all "hurr we're in no hurry to pull out of South Korea and Europe, right?" Lost my shit laughing about it at work.

We Have Literately Been Doooooooing NOTHING in Afghanistan for over 17 years. The locals really like to embrace such "Leadership" of the "Free World" in such a way they only use U.S. Citizens to clean up their political unrest. It's Vietnam all over again but the escalation is so low energy it would last forever in a shithole of no progress. Foreign construction contractors are literally the ones rebuilding any bombed buildings. The Local goat and child fucking Police have More Authority than the actual U.S. "Peacekeeper".
The Target of Origin was in Pakistan, there was a movie about it, and it seems like the only person that would say that the U.S. should Stay in such a shithole is a person that want to stick it to the communist. Pakistan is buying Chinese. Turkey is buying Chinese. Syria was basically a Chinese arms deal for the FSA. Any 122mm rocket launched at any U.S. outpost was probably cold war Chinese surplus. Every nation that currently surrounds Afghanistan is at a diplomatic level Anti-U.S. Hearts and Minds my ass, those people and the surrounding regions deserved Big Stick Diplomacy for how much time they wasted on the U.S.
damn it, ill never get to fight in that sandbox at this rate

Those bikes are shit. Everything apart from the frame is made out of a horrid Indo-Chinesim alloy that burrs if you look at it wrong, with chrome that flakes off like as it were an aluminum foil wrapped around the pig steel.
I tricked out a roadster with locally made aluminum rims thinking that it was just the rims that gave these the bad reputation for horrible braking. It was everything in the rod brakes that was shit, if I tightened the bolts made on witworth machinery that was worn out 60 years ago, they would twist and begin to snap off, even over tightened as they were, the brakes would start slipping and loosening the first time the brakes were applied. The crank would start separating from the chainring from the modest effort of climbing a small incline as it began to warp and turn itself into an Indian toothed taco. The fenders were held in place by nuts threaded so flimsily on the bent wire stays that they needed to be slathered with epoxy in order to not rattle themselves to pieces. In the end I wound up leaving that bike as a brake less fixed gear with a scavenged crank from another bike and Wald handlebars that while made out of heavy Huffy tier steel, actually held up a damn.
Oh yeah, good on Trump to leave that shithole, trade Afghanistan’s Lithium deposits for Bolivia’s.

It's called mowing the grass. When the place gets a little too uppity and they have people in charge who still think decapitation is a fair punishment for leaving the religion you just go kill them all and knock them back another 50 years. Once they become civilized they'll be allowed to develop.
how do homo rights harm whites? its not like they can reproduce so we mine as well include the white homos since thats like half the navy.

Cooper Sullivan
Liberals are contrarians and don't care about whether it's right or wrong or even feasible. They just want to pretend they are in the right by virtue signalling.
It sucks to see Afghanistan revert back to Taliban control. They should just kill all the population declare victory and leave.

Israel doesn’t get the most aid, Afghanistan and Iraq do
Nor is it the most aid in human history by a long shot the Marshall plan and soviet aid to Cuba/Vietnam/Arab countries both surpass it
