On our way out of Afghanistan.

[bird_dog0347]

Our hands were super tied. Civilians being executed just on the other side of the T walls and we weren’t allowed to do anything.

Me and my dudes were getting shot at and we couldn’t shoot back.

Then the taliban being about 25m away from our security position taking equipment and waving at us while amassing numbers to take the airfield.

Just a super anger inducing and frustrating deployment overall.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

Sorry to hear that man, thanks for what you do (even if you aren't allowed to do it sometimes).

My utmost respect and prayers to you brother. This government has failed our troops and left ya'll out to dry. Fuck them. I appreciate you and every one of you that stood on those lines and dealt with that shit.

Fear and Chaos is the way Marxist control the public . we've just had 2 years of that shit .

This will get worse before it gets any better. Next they'll hit a loaded plane before or just after it is taking off.

If only we had a hardened base with nothing anywhere near it loaded with supplies, vehicles and jamming gear to stop that kind of attack. Too bad we handed Bagram over to the ANA last month. It'd sure be handy right now.

100% agree

Let’s pull all the military out before we get all our civilians out!! Makes perfect sense.

What a damn shit show

While the haphazard pull out is definitely Bidens fault the real blame for the 20-year war in Afghanistan lies solely at the feet of Donald Rumsfeld. Our military objectives were met shortly after we invaded and the Taliban wanted to negotiate, Donald Rumsfeld's ego and hubris is what kept us in the war for another 20 years

Blame the graft machine in Washington. The American taxpayer footed the bill for all of it and certain people made tons of money. They are all to blame for this.

[svauto-erotic855]

You better include Cheney and Bush too.

Have no fear, I include them as well but I also know the Lion's Share of the blame sits squarely on the now-dead shoulders of Donald Rumsfeld.
