Hi. Afghanistan make almost 90% of the worlds opium. I do not know whos great idea it was to let that go on. As if the USA does not have a drug problem. We also let out 5,000 of there fighters I guess we thought that they would take up basket weaving or knitting after we let them out.
Calm down hippy. Your too old for that. Focus on that bike you'll need all the brain cells you have for that tunnel you'll be looking down.
Hi. The taliban would lose a hole ton of money and power
While we were there in force, we burnt their marijuana and poppy fields...what it did was turn the farmers to the Taliban as that was where the money from the fields went...once the farmer couldn't pay the Taliban, they came and took a daughter or son...
I'm sure they are involved also , but the number of people to evac is pretty large .
We keep talking about agreements but with who? The reason the evacuation of Americans was not covered is that the Afghans were supposed to slow the Taliban. They simply walked away and gave them their weapons. It's crazy. I hear even the president booked up! Now there is no authority in the country other than the Taliban.
where did you hear that?
Yeah, that C-17 thing was crazy. Those big engines running with people and FOD looming all around. Soldiers have got to control the crowd or one of those planes is going to lose an engine taking off.
US prepares to house thousands of Afghan refugees on American military installations
well, not going to disagree with that. But the calculation may be that Americans are safer for the time being than Afghans who helped us. Yes, I pulled that out of my rear but it does make sense.
I saw a video with 3 fellas that fell off that plane after it took off... What really concerns me is the risk, someone chunking something into an engine etc... Those pilots are making decisions in circumstances I bet they never trained or planned for.
