>U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Timothy A. Bolyard, 42, the highest enlisted soldier for 1st Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment, a unit under 1st Security Force Brigade (SFAB) out of Fort Benning, Georgia, was killed on September 3, 2018, in eastern Afghanistan in an apparent insider threat attack on American forces.

TLDR: A sergeant major was killed by an ANA dude
What do you think? Are these new SFAB brigades worth their salt?
You can't really be blamed for getting killed by someone who is supposed to be your ally. I mean, you can but its not really valid
Gotta keep the opium flowing. He died so every veteran has a chance at opiate addiction.
>dying for Israel
Theres your first redflag. The US shouldn't even be over in that shithole, let the Arab Nations blow themselves up and if Israel, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and others die in the process then who cares, not our problem.
Also F.
Good riddance.
Wrong region. Also Afghans aren't Arabic.
Never trust a Muslim

It's in the Middle East. Therefore it is in the same region of Iran, Iraq and others. We shouldn't be over there in the first place.
brigade command SM at 42? jesus fuck did he have a history in delta?
We've been in the Middle East since the 40s my guy. Could even go back to the early 19th century to the Barbary wars
America is an imperialist power. Has been since its founding
Afghanistan is in Asia.
not him, but we weren't imperial until spanish american war. and not really an entangled world power til WW1.
It's right bordered with Iran. It's Middle East. We shouldn't be there. We shouldn't be the Worlds Military. Do you want Americans dying for some people that don't even give a shit about us?
Tell that to the natives amerikkkan
Same motherfucker who thinks Egyptians are Arabs.

>It's right bordered with Iran.
Iran is also in Asia. What I want to see is everyone who had a hand in 9/11 killed. The biggest perpetrator is Pakistan which shielded Osama.
While I agree with your retarded ass in regards to Syria/Iraq/Africa Afghanistan WAS a direct enemy to our country, the fucking perpetrators of 9/11 were there and their remnants still are.
WE
>Afghanistan was responsible for 9/11
user I..
That's not what he said at all.
greater middle east*
The average Iraqi didn't know where it was until 2003.
He didn't die "fighting for freedom". His mission had nothing to do with protecting Americans' rights.
We got the fuck out of Vietnam and most people wished we'd never went there. Why the fuck are you still in Afghanistan 17 years later? I would rather kill myself than have that job.
>All of these edgelords in this thread
Most of you are literal piss-ants who live with your parents and never get laid, at least this guy was good enough to make CSM in a timely fashion and probably had a good life.
And the average American still doesn’t know.
S
sucks. why isnt our intelligence community vetting or investigating the afghan "allies" on these joint bases?
this
Selling big macs at McDonalds is a more fulfilling job than occupying a country that doesn't want you there.
Intel guy here, it's hard to "thoroughly vet" a company or more worth of the sons of tribal farmers from a country with shitty social infrastructure and corrupt police. We do what we can. Even the "good" ones have been known to turn.
How fucking dumb are you? it was a rhetorical question.
I didn't like my CSM (who does?), but respect his extensive service that I never did under him.
F.
Oh yeah? And you'd know how?
Guy spent his life motivated with a sense of task and purpose, sounds more fulfilling than slinging burgers.
thx user at least i feel better knowing someone is doing something about it and the gov takes this shit seriously
Having unparalleled respect for someone is not necessarily inclusive of me wanting them to die for me in some pointless shithole. Someone of that caliber should be doing something better for our country.

>How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Afghanistan? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?
>I'm geopolitically retarded so everything is the same
Well, it's exactly what he said but alright
Edgelord overload in here
That hat looks absolutely ridiculous LMAO
Faggot
ANP. It was an ANP. Unsurprisingly, Newsweek got it wrong. Also, he was on his 7th tour.
>Since it's founding
How was America an imperial power without a navy? You need to read some history books before you make yourself look dumb.
America established a navy in 1775,1 year before it was founded you fucking retard
>How was America an imperial power without a navy?
It didn't need a navy to walk west.
Seconded. That whole 'Merica photo posturing is laughable :p
The hat makes him look like a babyface.
In any case, it sucks when people die so... my respects.
They actually are
How big was that navy dummy? Large enough to support an empire? No it wasn't. Please lurk moar. You are embarrassing.
That's not at all an empire. Please lurk moar.
I’ll tell ‘em I got some shiny beads, faggot.
You are both faggots. Westward expansion was the US creating an empire. We shit all over the British empire so we had to build our own so we could collapse too.
>A political unit having an extensive territory or comprising a number of territories or nations and ruled by a single supreme authority.The territory included in such a unit.
That doesn't describe America untill after the Spanish-American war. This started when some brainlet decided America was founded as an empire, which is impossible.
Can fatniks respect the guys life and at the same time recognize that unless they get the fuck out if there more people that deserve respect are going to die?
Afghanistan is no longer a threat. Iraq and Syria are no longer a threat. Some nigtards in bumfuck Nigeria are not a threat.
>Are these new SFAB brigades worth their salt?
What a stupid question to be asked in a Green on Blue incident. McFucking smoke yourself.
This
We didn't so much conquer them as swindle them. How could we? They didn't even know what private ownership was.
America's westward expansion was imperialism. Without a doubt, it is a textbook example of it. The fact that you think that lurking Jow Forums would 'teach' me otherwise helps to explain your ignorance.
'We're against imperialism (manifest destiny doesn't count lol)' was a virtue signalling lie that America told itself in the 19th century. Telling themselves that they're so much better than Europeans, despite doing the same shit.
>When purchasing territory makes you an empire
Should've just pointed to Hawaii
Post your guns
By definition burgerland is not an empire
Indian tribes had territories. Those territories were conquered, one by one. That is how the USA was built. That was American imperialism.
>Indigenous people had states or government
Wew
>not an empire
but it is imperialist:
>imperialism
>JmˈpJərJəlJz(ə)m
>noun
>a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means.
the US has used military expansion and bases to extend its influence globally since 1945, as well as its use of economic and diplomatic power, to extend its global strength.
It may not have an emperor, nor is it an empire, but it is imperialist.
they had states: their territories. they had government: in some cases, like the Mound Builders of Cahokia, strongly structured government from centers of power.
It may not have been western European government or nation-states, but it existed. And saying it didn't is both a display of ignorance, and also a form of imperialism - the exact same thing that the British did in the 18th and 19th centuries when colonizing the Indian Raj.
"They dont have a flag? Primitives, clearly not a nation at all, old boy. Pip-pip."
>When purchasing territory makes you an empire
Not always. But, yeah. Purchasing territory can be imperialism. Especially in this case. When you're buying chunks of American from Britain, France and Spain, that is imperialism. How do you think they got the land?
he had 13 combat deployments
Dying in the hills of Afghanistan is the highest calling for the white man.
Literally not possible unless he was in the 75th or sf.
why does that picture look fake like if it's a cgi character
any one else feel like it's a fake picture
>knowing what's possible is not your job
Oh we're playing fast and loose with definitions today I see. Good goy.
By that definition, literally everyone who owns a home, rents an apartment or owns any land is an imperialist.
>literally everyone who owns a home, rents an apartment or owns any land is an imperialist.
I presume you were starved of oxygen at birth for some time, to cause the cognitive problems you so clearly have which mean you are incapable of differentiating between a private individual and a nation-state?
or are you one of those frothing "sovereign citizen" nutcases?
Schizophrenia.
Tough luck. The most guilty of doing the crime of terrorism is Saudi Arabia, which in fact, an important US ally. You cannot bomb your own ally do yaa?
>Someone got land by being mean to someone else
>Therefore anyone that purchases that land later is an imperialist.
I'm just using your own logic. At some point in history every bit of space was stolen from someone else
>Imperialism is a policy that involves a nation extending its power by the acquisition of lands by purchase, diplomacy or military force.
Am I allowed to get the definition from Wikipedia? Or is that too Jewish?
How the fuck is buying land imperialism? That makes no sense.
>Crying about being a little bitch
I love it.
Post your guns already.
>I'm just using your own logic
>logic
Holy shit, dude. You just accidentally disproved the entire concept of imperialism. It isn't a thing. It doesn't exist. I bet everyone who thought it was a real thing up until a few minutes ago feels like a real dumbshit now.
the man is a genius.
he's just proven that Ghengis Khan, Rome, the Ottomans, Napoleon, and the British empire weren't imperialist, they were just avid home-buyers....
Using his logic, of course.
>How is imperialism if you're buying American land from Britain, France and Spain?
If you can't see it. If that concept doesn't make sense to you, then I honestly don't know how to explain it to you. It seems very simple, I don't why you're having so much trouble understanding it.
how about, no-one else is seeing it, because you're utterly fucking wrong?
Not him but:
>get proven wrong
>p-post your guns!
Truly the mark of the manchild.
No, I'm actually right. It was imperialism when Britain/France/Spain conquered the land. It is also imperialism when the USA bought that land from Britain/France/Spain. I don't know why you're so invested in disproving that when I'm so obviously correct.
I didn't realise I was coming across as a 'crying bitch', I was trying my best not to. From my perspective, I thought it looked like I was dunking on a really dumb guy.
I think Cav hats are wannabe cowboy Texas grade A bullshit, and should be banned.

What about when we bought it from the Indians? Is that Imperialism, too?
So this is what a faggot shitpost looks like.
boom
hard truth
Which time? Kinda depends.

Saudi Arabia is indeed guilty, but the worst offender is Pakistan. They actively shield the most wanted terrorists involved in planning 9/11. Also Pakistan is also a US ally.
lurk more you tremendous faggot
I've done both, I prefer the 'stan.
Well, if imperialism is "acquisition of lands through purchase.", would it matter which time?
>the most wanted terrorists involved in planning 9/11
Proof that they are guilty, please.
