The rumors I am hearing is the Taliban is rounding up the Afghans who helped us and executing them. Also many of the people we “rescued“ never helped us at all.
Rumors? When you have facts, let me know.
I was wondering how long it would take you shitheads to go from "Oh, my God those poor Afghans" to "Oh, my God, Scary Muslims!!!"
You talk like that's a bad thing. If that were the case, no one would have trusted us after Vietnam, but whenever we foolishly invade a country, there will ALWAYS be quislings willing to take our money and pretend to be on our side as long as we pay them.If true this will damage our reputations for years and years if not decades and decades. It will be hard to find anyone willing to work with us when we invade nations in the future. We will make nice promises and the natives will laugh at us and remind us of Afghanistan.
What should happen is we should learn is that you can't invade someone else's country and then expect them to be happy about it. But we didn't learn that lesson 50 years ago in Vietnam and we didn't learn it 100 years ago in the Philippines.
We also left billions of dollars of operational weapons and vehicles.
Yes, the military industrial complex made a killing... so what? Most of that equipment is obsolete and they'll have a hard time maintaining it.
