Interesting documentary about private armies / mercenary companies. most of them fail upwards and still get work no matter how poorly they perform at their job.



What the hell is that on the side of the AK?

saw on tv, forget what channel, that the Taliban is taking over several cities, taking weapons.  Afghan military just giving up without a fight.
is this like Obama's Iraq all over again, giving rise to ISIS?
thoughts?
I see too many guys at the VA that were chopped into pieces
to not have some strong feelings on this subject.
I'm Vietnam era Vet.
I'll make this real simple, if it isn't a lawfully declared war,
fuck the Democrats and don't fight that "Police" action for them.
I used to sign off aircraft forms for safety of flight issues.
Given the Government we have today, I'd refuse to sign off those
discrepancies and ground the aircraft.
Why risk lives for the Politics of the Democrat party?
Sure you can get a more senior Non-Com to over ride my decision,
but do you want to fly that aircraft?

This plus forced vaccinations and woke indoctrination is probably going to push some troops over the edge. Not everyone wants to get immediately thrown in a cell for refusing orders, and I would expect an increase in criminal activity among the armed services. We might be looking at more equipment showing up the hands of drug cartels and organized crime soon. They did just take away a huge revenue stream from the importation of illegal opium after all.

During the 1975 Fall of Saigon, Joe Biden had already been a Senator for 2 years

Correct order of operations:
1. Shred sensitive documents.
2. Evacuate civilians and allies.
3. Pull out military.
4. Announce end of fighting.

Not the opposite.

Marjorie Taylor Greene

I just got off White House briefing for Congress concerning Afghanistan.

Joe Biden is a FOOL!

* The military equipment and arms were left on purpose for the Afghan military to supposedly defend themselves. But they have handed it all over with no resistance.

* 5,000 prisoners have been released from the base. Known terrorists.

* Our border is wide open and out of control. These terrorists can easily make their way to the US.

* The Taliban is in full control and ISIS is there as well.

* Trump defeated ISIS and Biden is to blame for their imminent rise.

* Turkey and Pakistan are going to soon move in to “stabilize” Afghanistan.

First Arming and now Funding Terrorism. Nice job Joe.


Credible report that the US is offering vast sums of cash to the Taliban in order to allow evacuations to proceed. Hope US media is on top of this story

I think the White House could liable to prosecution under AML/CFT. Not even joking

The White House just blew the existence of the CIA's Doha Station and its chiefs' cover with the photo of Biden looking at the monitor.

The sad fact is we have Creepy Joe "Wrong on every foreign policy issue" Biden acting as Commander in Chief.

Not impossible for someone like OmniGrub to weasel his way into the civilian national command structure.   :shake:

“The Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country…” - Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, July 21, 2021. Milley had no idea what he was talking about.

The Biden administration announces in the STRONGEST TERMS POSSIBLE that the Taliban will not be allowed to enter the US Embassy in Kabul unless they are FULLY VACCINATED.
