The Historical Shame of the American Army in Afghanistan

[Domino]

1. The Soviets fought alone in Afghanistan, without the Warsaw Pact.
now Americans fought alongside NATO members

2.The Americans and even the Chinese sold weapons to the enemies of the Soviets.
now they did not sell weapons to the enemies of the Americans

3. The Soviets controlled almost 100 percent of the territory.
now the Americans controlled 5-10 percent of the territory

4. Soviets built factories, schools, hospitals.
Americans were afraid to move away from their bases

5. After the withdrawal of the troops:
- The Soviet regime was supported for 3 years, since the Soviets prepared the new Government of Afghanistan
- the Americans fled in disgrace.

The Soviets thought they saw a weak country in which to spread their territory further.

America stayed in the country to long after defeating Al Qaeda, after the 9-11 attacks.

Big mistake by both countries.

The American military is the best trained, and equipped in the world. Along with our allies, no country on the planet can engage us in all out war, without using thermonuclear weapons, and then we all lose.

Let us know when Ruusia makes anything the rest of the world wants. At least China actually makes things other countries buy.

Our military has been deteriorating due to these people in Washington diluting their ranks and demoralizing their moral. Other than the Marines and special forces we have greatly lost the edge that keeps them sharp in combat situations.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

WHY is our Army even over there???

 

[occupied]

America is really bad at occupying other countries. If we get anything out of this experience it should be to never try to own another shitty lawless hellhole ever again. A supplemental lesson should be to never let another defense contractor near the levers of power.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Americans were in Afghanistan to eliminate the terrorist threat and achieved their goal.

how interesting when they call black as white ...
but he did not say that drug traffic has grown 50 times since the US presence in Afghanistan! and ISIS was founded

But the military is woke. Wokeism is everything.

And where is your Soviets now?

Yes, this is a bad sign, the USSR left Afghanistan, and then fell apart)

The American Army was stuck in a quagmire under the timid leadership of Harry Truman and lost anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 in a three year war that should have been over in a year in Korea. LBJ set the rules so that we could win every battle in Vietnam and still lose the war. See the connection? The U.S. Army could have wiped out the towel headed 6th century Afghans in a week with conventional weapons but democrats didn't have the courage and never will.

ISIS is not in Afghanistan..

The Taliban has always fought the Afghan warlords and the Afghan Mafia who are involved in rapes, carjackings, smuggling and Opium production.

This comment gets the Gold Star for obvious disconnection with reality. Bronze Star for ultra-partisan stupidity.

Bush jr was a Democrat? He went into Afghanistan to save ENRON.
