Afghanistan has somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 trillion worth of lithium. Taliban can corner the market, cut a deal with Tesla and the normies will love them.
That's what its always been oil now this so people can get their batteries? Teslas? Now they want to move this crap into Greenland and destroy their country! This makes me livid!
I poured my soul into my service. Afghanistan campaigns were the only missions I trained and served in for almost a decade. I was all in. Blood, sweat, tears, lives. Ripped apart. FOR WHAT?!
Elite posturing toward unrighteous ends? We were tools in the most evil machine? I COULD SCREAM.
Now we are the ones left and we are torn apart inside our minds every fucking day. Fuck that place.
Read Charge of the Light Brigade. That poem shook my soul when I was in high school.
The fact that they were led by incompetence into death does not lessen their heroism. In fact, that sad fact, glorifies their sacrifices ever more.
Who will write the telling, warning, poems of the failed neo-con wars??
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Alfred Lord Tennyson - 1809-1892
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Some one had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel’d from the sabre-stroke
Shatter’d and sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder’d.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
The troopers did a great hit and run, on camels no less, at the beginning when the purpose was to destroy terror cells. HIT AND RUN. We shoulda left then.
The failed attempt to "impose" "democracy" on tribal culture and construct some type of legitimate government led to this result. State Dept. etc., no exit plan, etc., doomed our fine troopers and the Afghan people who wanted better, to this inevitable result.
HIT the terrorists, then get out. We are not imperialists, we are not colonialists, WE cannot IMPOST FREEDOM on people with no history of it, most of whom have no desire for it.
Terrorist cells that threaten our homeland? HIT them HARD from afar, and if near, soon disappear. IT IS NOT OUR JOB to reconstruct their nation state. That is their job! And . . . they mostly are satisfied with their tribal culture, so let them have it.
JUST KILL THE TERRORISTS and forget about reforming their failed government and society. That is their business, not ours.
When Christ was crucified, Pilate wrote the sign over His head saying in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." This was no accident. Hebrew is representative of the Old Testament and the Sacred History of God, Latin represents the law, military, and governance of the Roman Empire, Greek represents the philosophy, science, learning, and wisdom of the Greeks. These 3 things all together proclaiming Jesus Christ as King is Western Civilization, which is the Christian Civilization, which is Christendom. Only those nations that have accepted the Bible, the Rule of Law, and Greek Philosophy is capable of being free and maintaining civilization. The Muslims have never accepted Western Civilization and they never will UNLESS THEY CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY AND PROCLAIM JESUS CHRIST AS KING.
So this entire exercise of trying to impose democracy and republican government on muslims was doomed to fail from the start. They don't care about freedom, they don't care about the rule of law, they don't care about reason or logic, all they care about is power and making sure that their tribe or family is in control. They don't have Christian charity, they don't have the concept of inalienable human rights, they don't care about freedom.
So the fucking Chinese can roll in and take the rare earth minerals.

You know what I think that's why President Trump wanted to buy Greenland then he could stop them! https://infotonline.com/why-donald-trump-wanted-to-buy-greenland/?amp=1
Came here to say that. Exactly. Lives lost for NOTHING but rich MFs who didn't give a damn only to turn it and all of our taxes to go to enemies.

AFG was nothing more than a drug and human trafficking operation.
Thank you for your service

Pardon the question, but I think it's worth asking:
Do we have anyone with contacts there to verify this is true?
No disrespect, but what I've seen are primarily links from MSM. And international news in particular is hard to verify.
Sorry for the FB link, but this is a good source for ground intel: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAlertkabulnews%2F

Thanks.
These people can never pay enough for all of this waste of lives everything.
is this map public released (is it still FOUO)? if not, I'd pull down and repost something else more generic.
I wiped it with a rag first. Nothing on here not available on imagery. Taliban know every building in the compound regardless.
