Current US Military

[Smitty-48]

it's like the Green Berets

if you've ever met them, you know what they are like

those boys don't go a drinking & carousing & causing trouble like the 82nd Airborne

them Delta boys are God fearing

they read the Bible, they go to church, they live a clean life

that is what makes them so elite, that is why they pass the Q course, they are true believers

[Smitty-48]

it's like Hanarchy says to me : oh Smitty, you professional soldiers just did it for the money

are you kidding ?

how much money did you think we made ?

$1800 a month is not going to get me to go over the top into a hail of gunfire

this is only one thing that would have got me over the top

I hate this revisionist nonsense that Soldiers are mere mercenaries

[Smitty-48]

I hate this revisionist nonsense that Soldiers are mere mercenaries

I would have done it for free

since I was ten years old, all I wanted to be was an infantryman

the pay was $1800 a month, just enough so I could afford to not have to get a job on the side

I still did take a job on the side, as a bouncer at nightclubs

but that wasn't for the money, just a way to meet girls

Taliban is rolling - 3 cities captured in 3 days

Trying to win wars with SpecOps is stupid, futile and a waste of time. In the 20 year history of GWOT, the only real victories we had came from pretty conventional warfare. COIN failed, Operators failed, the Generals failed.

The Taliban is winning because they are closing with and killing their enemies. They are not playing fuck, fuck SpecOps, spymaster games. They are just going force on force, that's how you win.

I said from the beginning we should have glassed where they were.

This is a classic case of lions led by lambs.
Our leaders don't have the intestinal fortitude to war real war, and are too afraid to make the case of its necessity for victory to the American people.

The Taliban are the Pashtun people. 15 million in Afghanistan and 40 million in Pakistan. Good plan.

Anyone else think the taliban is kind of good for Afghanistan?
