People suddenly questioning US Generals, and rightly so.

Who really fought GWOT

Men were 98% of combat deaths in Afghanistan. Whites were 85% of deaths, meaning that roughly 83% of deaths were specifically white men.

Guess they're trying for this.
Both the uniform, and the military prowess.

My friend in the military is over there right now. He is one of the 7k...

He's pissed off. He's been in the military for almost 15 years now. He can't say much except that the mainstream media is lying worse than a rug.

He said there will be pits of dead found if they go back in again.

Women are being raped, children who went to school thrown into slavery and the men that helped the US and their families exterminated.

He doesn't know after seeing some of this and unable to stop it if he is going to re-up again.
That's what happens to the losing side in almost any war.

Sucks, but it's the human condition.
I know, but can you blame him?

I only know one General personally

Brigadier General (retired) Achilles Gregory Young

he is my idol, but not just me, all my close mates in the regiment idolize him

he actually worked his way up through the ranks tho

he joined as a Private Soldier in the 60's and rose to Sergeant Major in the 70's

then he took his commision as a Captain in the 80's

then when we served under him he was Major Young then Lt. Colonel Young

he's the best officer any of us ever knew, hard charger leading from the front

but all the other officers resented him, they used to call him "Frank Burns" to deride him

even tho that is what is the other officers were like, Colonel Young was more like John Rambo

no matter how much shit the officers tried to throw at me, General Young was my protector

on a big exercise, he always used to come find me in the field, where's Smitty at ?

then he'd bum smokes off me and ask me how I thought the exercise was going

he had the entourage of officers around him, they were always wondering; who tf is this Smitty guy ?

last time I saw him, he said, since we're both old men now and retired, just call me Greg

I said, hell no, sir, that ain't gonna happen, you will be "Colonel Young" to us, forever

I remember the first time he ever spoke to me, it was on a company attack, I was manning an LMG

I was just in the prone position waiting for somebody to tell me what to do

suddenly I get kicked in the back of the helmet, hard

I turn around and said what the fuck ?!

and I look up, and there is Major Young standing over me, yelling

"you can't engage effectively with that gun from here, get the fuck up there on the right flank !"

so I got up and started running, and he yells for me to stop, so I stopped and turned around

he says, "what's your name, Private ?"

I says, Smitty, sir !

he says, "right, I got your number, I'm watching you"

I was like, ah fuck, just what I needed, then I ran off to the right flank

In got a photo here above my desk, me & General Young shooting the breeze in the field, good times

Rescue missions into Kabul happening without the White House.

Countdown to Americans tortured in the streets: 7 days.

From the numbers I'm reading. I don't see us getting all Americans out, not only that, other nations have people stranded too, French, Germans, etc.

The Islamic State of Afghanistan is going to have a lot of hostages.

... or another visit from us.

I think they'll turn the foreigners over.
Would you risk another invasion because you want to ransom some stragglers?

I wouldn't.

But then again, I don't live in a cave and fuck goats, so who knows.

The Taliban is in position to have a positive global image. They might just take it.
Saw one report, Taliban supports climate change initiatives.

what is the difference between the Taliban and the Saudis ?

if America can be stalwart allies of Saudi Arabia, I see no cause for the Taliban to be an arch nemesis
