      whats chilling is that we are very capable of acting in the same manor, the Taliban is the same humanoid as us, germany was considered in a sense even more civil than the usa ,before hitlers radical brainwashing took over, than they acted very similar to the taliban,only keeping people to exploit for their skills and eliminating the rest or work them to death in simple work, its so hilarious that todays black people are trained to be traumatized by the slavedom of their forefathers by the white man ,not realizing that those forefathers were sold by their own kind into slavery and might have in some cases had a better life than had they stayed in africa were tribal wars was the norm and so was cannibalism,those slave ships were horrible ,it was very wrong, but in the grand sceme of things you are here because of them and now is good for you so embrace what you have and use it to make your life the best it can be,don't dwell at the past

      Because people's problems are relative to their life. Just because people are experiencing brutality in some countries doesn't mean others have no right to complain about inconvienences/hardships in their lives. It's incomparable, and a shitty argument. To say other people have it worse doesn't lessen the pain or hardships people experience in more "developed" countries. Especially if the people bitchin about a late Amazon package haven't experienced many extreme hardships.
      I'm not sayin they're not little bitches about it sometimes, but no shit it's mundane and obnoxious when you compare it to literal execution and slavery. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to bitch and complain.

My American counter part (awesome dude straight professional) after delivery of 4.3 million dollars worth of small arms, ammo, radios and such, he looked at me and said “all of this will end up in the hands of the Taliban.” He said we’ll be back in 15 years getting shot at by our own guns.

      Our leaders made every mistake possible, lost INSANE amounts of equipment and supplies on a regular basis thru not being able to do the basics of soldiering. Map reading, talking to locals, insuring a good supply chain all fell to the wayside.

    When you hear these stories, people dont understand why you feel the need to go back.

      I understand your frustration but this is the reality of "countries" like Afghanistan. I put quotations because that country only exist as Afghanistan because the British decided to draw a couple of lines and call it that. It was never going to last as soon as the US decided it couldn't prop up a fake country any more. I wish we would have rescued more people out of the country before it fell and think this current administration deserves that criticism but, staying there long term was always going to end that way. If you want to really control these countries, you have to install authoritarian dictators or theocracies. It's just the reality.

So, if we lowly retired Special Forces members knew, how could all these high-level, graduate-school-educated, general officers and politicians not know.
