re: How, after 20 years, are there so many Talban left?

Because the locals refused to help us root them all out. They spent their last 20 years hiding in caves and fricking goats. Every village had a cousin or a brother in the Taliban so they would refuse to cooperate with us.

Also, every time we killed one, two more were radicalized by their shitty religion and joined the Taliban.

frick them. I say stop doing air pick-ups and let them sort themselves out.
