Anybody else woke up with uneasy feeling in stomach? Re Taliban

Just thinking about the past 20 years and all the soldiers we sent to that shite hole called Afghanistan. All the Deaths, PTSD, Chronic injuries, blood, tears etc etc all for these asshat "elites" to get rich. Makes me sick to think what these establishment politicians and cherry picked Generals led us through and all the families that were affected.
No way I could still be active duty in this climate. The DOD believes the biggest threat currently is domestic terrorism, meanwhile Taliban takes over an area that we spent trillions on. This is a huge slap in the face to every patriot who served or is still serving in military.
Rant Off

I'm with you.

I was in Afghanistan and feel deeply depressed by with the withdrawal and the aftermath, but it had to happen. We couldn’t stay there endlessly and we stayed there too long as is. The war effort was mishandled from the start and I don’t think we had a chance to turn it around after 2005. The Taliban is evil. I hate them more than I hate anyone else on earth, but they are from there and we didn’t build an alternative government that anyone would want to fight for.

Hope the Taliban wrecks shite.
Hope the American media melts down.

frick OBAMA and all the LEFTIST shite stains that voted these freedom hating socislaists into office. If you voted for these people and do not regret it, you are a traitor and a tyrant. America is done unless there is a military uprising in our own country, it has simply gone too far. THE marxists are out of the closet and we are the pawns.

Frankly in the end we did far more damage than good in Afghanistan.
Those people have been fricked over by western and Russian military ventures for fifty years and even longer if you dig.
Let them be at this point. No intervention we've ever done has helped

Our awesome soldiers never bitched or moaned about going to Afghanistan so I’m really proud of them as they were merely following orders from above.
With that said, I’d be super pissed.
“Hey son, this is Kandahar on a map. Your dad spent 4 years here training local soldiers and police to be self sufficient”
“Dad, what has become of that place?”
“Nothing son, it’s like we were never there to begin with”

Son: "Then why did we go?"
Father: "Good point, maybe you should remember this when your older"
Grandfather: "Wait, didn't I tell you that after Vietnam?"

But NO DISHONOR on their valorous service. Many were heroic in ways that they would have never been in 9-5 job. The character acquired in those acts of heroism will follow them to their 'Judgment'. It's the Leadership that will take the 'Judgement' hit; and if they have any conscience not tainted with confirmation bias and self-delusion...their conscience as well. Mass public repentance and/or suicides of Leadership coming? Hell no. Proves their (lack of) character.
The coming days will be very ugly over there.

The top will never be held accountable; that's just how it is in military sadly

Master plan. Get rid of freedom loving patriots in endless conflicts. Systematically replace them with liberal, patriot-hating, mind-washed minions that will be willing to fire on their own citizens. Tin foil hat off. Hopefully.

Force soldiers to mask up and get the Jab because of "health" while ignoring shite like mental health and depression for decades.

From the moment I heard the helo carrying members of the Seal Team which took down Bin Laden was hit, I knew it couldn't be a coincidence, or a damn ' lucky shot '.
It was an inside job, 100%. And likely Obama was behind it. Either directly, or allowing it to happen.
Casually leave a latch unlocked to let a fox into the chicken coop, you're just as guilty of what comes next as the fox with blood on its face.

And also, by all means, do everything possible to avoid protracted conflict with Islamic extremists/fundamentalists, anywhere. Full stop.

they have misidentified who the domestic terrorist are

What specifically did we do to “frick them over”?
I’m not arguing we should have ever been there, but I don’t get what we supposedly did to “wrong” them.

That pisses me off. It'll be by the Hand of Jesus if I make it out of this life without become a hate-filled warrior-minded psycho. Of course, both God and Jesus 'spoke' of their own "hatred" re some things; assuming they exist of course.
Lord have mercy.

The Afghans? Seriously? The Mujahideen->Taliban pipeline was built on our wallet.
