Can you imagine the stress of keeping all US force members under tab?


Due to command structure, it is not that hard. Squad leader covers his 4-10, they tell the platoon leader all present and or accounted for, platoon leader gets word from his 3-4 squad and tells the company commander which hears from his 3-4 platoon leaders and so on up the chain. Each "link" is only responsible for at most 4-10 (squad level) reports. The rest are usually 3-4 reports.

This, this part right here is propped up by so many other accounts coming from the ground right now:

Fox News also just reported that Taliban is going through ALL of the records of Afghani Special Ops to find where folks live and going after them.

We have to hope that the majority of that info was destroyed when the order to do so was given.

I have my doubts, however.

My Ukranian friend's response to me asking how things are with respect to the Afghanistan situation:

Normal here as far as the war. I can’t see a single way that this would impact Ukraine lol

I don’t think it would impact the Balkans really although they do always have heated Muslim/Christian relations but still don’t see how Afghan impacts that at all

Can you elaborate on the Ukraine angle?

I have a buddy who lives in Ukraine with his wife and young son, he and I talk every day and have done so a good bit today and he hasn't mentioned anything. We've just been shooting the shite about sports.



It’s valuable to Russia and they’re right there. That region has always been very valuable to Russia. There is blood in the water and the right players know it. What we’ve just show is we won’t do a damn thing to Russia or China for either of their expansion desires.

No we haven't crossed that bridge yet we are just in the 1st quarter of the football game. You think there is a severe shortage of goods now when they take Taiwan there won't be any goods at your local Walmart, Target, BestBuy, John Deere, Auto dealer, boat dealer, hunting shop, etc.

We are still getting chips right now which is why we are in the 1st quarter.

shite, Afghani Interpreters are trying to hide their English books and burning ALL of their military awards/insignia.

However, you know the Afghani Gov't didn't burn anything. There will be files upon files.

No the United States is completely fricked if China takes Taiwan because we will have ZERO Semiconductors and China will have 90% of the global semiconductor market. We will be totally dependent on China--effectively crippled domestically and internationally.


Both are true. We can probably put a bandaid on the semiconductors relatively quickly in the grand scheme of things. Taiwan nor us can put a bandaid on Taiwan falling to China at all at this point.

Here comes the Congressmen saying we need to fund resistance to the Taliban.

Lindsay Graham and Rep. Waltz are on board.
