    I couldn't imagine being stuck with these faggots. And yes, it is this bad 99% of the time. The old videos of them not being able to do jumping jacks and shit are totally accurate; this isn't some 'come look at this one guy' thing. Want to confuse the shit out of one of them like you're giving them an IQ test? Give them a packaged MRE and just watch.

    I'm pretty sure if someone from DoD showed up and was like, hey I know you guys are going out tonight, so I figured we could rotate 40 ANA guys over to you for help, that we'd all instantly be like, na, we already have 12 of us total, we're good.

    I particularly like the tards sitting downstairs with their heads in the windows not doing anything but being a static bracketed head target.

    Other than being surrounded by tards, what freaks me out is being in a 'known' spot that is probably easy to get mortars onto/shits already set up for it somewhere and to the left flank looks like an elevated rise that basically goes past your site and would allow you to be put into an L easily. When the SF guy starts running the SAW my spidey senses kept saying to sweep left and stop staring ahead the entire time. Not sure what the mission is (or what else is there), but I wouldn't fucking stay there static with those tards around me as assaulting a position to the front is definitely out of the question.

    ....but I know deep down in my heart that it would be me and a bunch of other retards sitting around drinking iced coffees not knowing what to do while the one guy who knows his shit yells at us disappointingly.

    Training, education, training, then some more education.... And god level patience....

    It's a tricky thing over there. The problem isn't that we lack people who know what they're doing, but instead, the bare basics of alot of things we take as common knowledge, aren't. For alot of people in the provinces in the mountains or in the middle of literally nowhere, shit like cars and electricity are some sort of magical wonder.

    Alot are also under the impression that joining with the US .mil will have them not do much as we'll just push a button and the bad guys die. They also think given the fancy equipment, its the same with the new shooter buying a 7k scope and thinking he's a .5 MOA shooter all of a sudden. These guys lack the basic knowledge of turning a light switch on or changing a pair of AA batteries - the amount of actual training they need is generational.

    The idea of training the peasants to properly fight, instead of just letting them get in the way of the enemy, was refined by Nobumasa (spelling?) in the mid/late 1500s in feudal Japan. He realized that if you actually gave your peasant army a little respect, actual equipment and real training, they not only followed you, but could fight the samurai on the opposing side as an organized force. The difference is that the peasants for the most part knew what everything was and needed to just be trained/allowed to be trained whereas the Afghanistan fighting age men that aren't trained by fire in the Taliban, basically know less than anyone.

    China says its going into Afghanistsn. They say its to counter terrorism. But I suspect its more for protection while obtaining minerals.

    Wonder how much they will appreciate the locals.

    When I heard them say that, I was very curious about it.

    We came after the Russians, knowing the mistakes that were made ahead of time. We made our own mistakes, albeit alot of them self inflicted.

    I honestly am eager to see how China ends up getting fucked over while there.

    Just think about it. There were 18 year olds that joined the service and after 20 years are now the E-8's and 0- whatever's. But we still can not train the retarded to fight for themselves.
    Talk about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome?
    Does this sound familiar? Hearts and minds is bullshit! Total destruction of the enemy and to damn bad for a few caught in the crossfire.
     
    We were embedded with ANA a little over a decade ago. Living out in the middle of Nawa in a shitty bombed out compound with a platoon of those fucks. This shit was constant. Mostly just refusing to go out on patrol, but then they really made life fun when they went around to all the small villages that surrounded us and told the locals we were throwing Qurans on the ground and shit to get them hating us more than they already did. Honestly we all felt safer outside the compound than inside it with 20 of those shady assholes.

    Then in Yemen we had LN's working in our compound and one of them thought it would be hilarious to run up behind my saw gunner and yell "Allahu Akbar!!" That was the quickest I've seen someone get their nose broken in my 30-some years of life.

    Thanks for the fun memories :ROFLMAO:
     
    Should of used them for simple tasks like walking out claymores to the Taliban .

    Different no?

    I mean if a bunch of foreign troops were in my land, telling me as a American to shoot at other Americans they didn’t like, even if they were really shitty Americans, not sure I’d be too eager to help foreign boots in America fight other Americans.

    Going to the land where empires go do die, and expecting a different result.

    Best way to “win” that battle is to ether GTFO, or bomb it into oblivion and take and forever hold it as another US state.
     
    If I wanted to be free from tyranny? You're damn straight I'd shoot mother fucking people in the face.
    But these people have been zoo animals for generations. They appease the next oppressors and hope to survive. They have no will do do anything else.
    Seems like that's what is taking over here. Pay more and more taxes and hope to not cross any of the millions of laws, regulations and rules.

    It depends, are these other "Americans" running around chopping people's heads off, burning children alive, and killing anyone who doesn't kneel to them?

    If that's the case, if the french or anyone else wants to come over and give me a gun and pay me to shoot those fuckers in the face, Hell ide be all on board, me an my iced coffee sipping retards.

    You presume the side you’re going to be asked to fight for is the one that’s against tyranny?

    Personally I wouldn’t be too stocked to have a foreign power telling me how to run my country and telling me which of my countrymen to shoot.

    How much time did you spend reading history.

    Argument from authority, but I know, the new guy we install this time is going to be totalllly different, waaaay better than the last one lol

    The troops you teach to shoot today, will be the guys shooting at your kids next generation when we do the rerun of the same war.
     
    So you are willing to live on your knees than dieing for your liberty?

    But the ones dropping bombs on building with kids in them, those are the good guys, it’s the ones who explode the kid with the vests, those are the animals.

    Frankly the only people who “win” in that BS are the very high ups in Afghanistan (who don’t believe any of the BS they sell to their fighters) and the high ups in our military industry (who also dont believe any of the BS they sell to our troops).

    There, in a nutshell, is the problem...

    I was in Cairo Egypt with my father circa 1962 and questioned him about WTF was wrong with these people, the kings had been long gone and Nassar was trying to run a democracy.

    His answer was basically what you intimate..."You dont change a whole culture in one generation, it takes 3-4-5 generations."

    We just dont have that much time or treasure to waste.

    Nevermind that this was never about the taliban or that shit hole afghanistan. It was a supposed to be about fucking up terrorists. But the MIC is about money and they don't give a shit about the troops. There was a con run on the public. The war on terror turned into nation building again. Two of them this time.

    On the bright side, the more targets they have the better your chances of not being one.

    You can multiply zero by anything and still get zero.

    Give that ODA 100 fat average American dads and let them train them for six months, and they’d kick a lot of ass.

    Oda Nobunaga needed musketeers to supplement his Samurai. And he needed them fast. And this was before Togugaw Ieyasu made the peasants true peasants by the disarmament laws. At the time peasants were more akin to the English Yeomanry and American militia. Nobunaga made his men, both the musketeers and the Samurai professional full time soldiers. But his basic stock were already disciplined and teachable.
     
    Getting close to 3 trillion tax dollars spent so someone made bank.
    When you really think through it we are slaves that work our asses off and turn over our money to the machine required by their laws. I mean what type of asshat would fight a war for 20 years when you can drop a few nukes within minutes and have a signed surrender within hours unless you wanted to steal the taxpayers money over the course of 20 years.
     
    don't forget they uncovered docs that show the military leadership, including that piece of shit mattis, knew they weren't making a bit of difference the entire time in afghanistan and had made little to no progress on any long term goals.
    all the while, our brothers and sisters came home in caskets, wheelchairs and crutches, both physical and mental.
