Afghans are whiter than Irish. Change my mind.

Someone I knew said that Trump was making the United state look bad, that we have to think about the collective good.

Well...Here's the great uniter giving afghanistan back to the Talibans after 20 years, making the U.S. look bad.

And said people I know still think that Trump getting reelected would "destroy this country"...

ARE YA WINNING SON!

That feel when your military is more interested in trannies than fighting a war.
Komm süsser Tod...
I wonder if at any point in his mind he came to the realization that all that social justice inclusion garbage in exchange for no longer training people into killers didn't add to jack shit during a crisis. I really hope the Poles, Ukranians, Koreans, Japanese ect are looking into nuclear weapons because the US will just flee after the first gunshot rings out.

It’s etc not ect. It comes from the Latin et cetera. Dummy.
 
Etc is a popular abbreviation of the Latin phrase "etcetera" which translates to "..and the rest" in English. It is often used in writing when a long list can not be continued.

Ect is an inappropriate misspelling of the word 'etc' usually accompanied by the mispronunciation 'excetera' which is redundant.
I see it took you too long to research that

when they whined about Trump not sending millions to the kurds while letting them occupy sovereign Syrian soil

biden can't even allow its allies a peck of dust
 
I found 1st Cav to be the same way.

Lots of guys who looked good on paper that couldn't do basic fucking tasks, didn't know shit about their MOS, toxic leadership, and flat out abusive of subordinates.

How it kind of got its nickname of "Worst Cav"


The memories. Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened.
Ill do my best to refrain from cracking jokes about the Army.

Most of your brass is going to fuck things up with their egos. Everyone wants the glory, the glory they think the personally deserve. Look at Vietnam, commanders kept stepping on each others dicks too be the one to strike a particular target. In the Civil war, commanders that had bought their commission became useless in the heat of battle. Poor leadership is the death of morale and combat readiness.

The money was good, banged foreign chicks and saw the world on the taxpayers dime.

The problem is the only benefactor of Shiites is Iran (I’m not counting elements of Lebanon). The Taliban is almost certainly backed by Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and probably some elements in Pakistan. If Iran does something to defend them, that’s going to be an international crisis. I’m not Muslim, I’m Eastern Orthodox but I do not want innocents to die. I really wish Iran could just take over this venture but they cannot without there being some big incident.
Aren’t the Azeris also Shiites?

The nature vs. nurture issue is definitely an old one that has no clean answer, both scientifically and philosophically. Personally, my policy is save judgement until they fuck up, but every kid deserves a fighting chance, which they aren't gonna get in bumfuck Afghanistan.
The problem with this line of thinking is that it logically leads to the idea that every kid from every bumfuck Third World shithole deserves a “fighting chance”, directly at the expense of American taxpayer. Which is of course completely unsustainable, and in practice simply tends to result in sacrificing our own children’s health and future for feel good points that don’t even make a practical long-term difference. I think some societies and peoples are simply not developmentally compatible with our civilization and it does not more good to pretend that they are than to stick a chimpanzee in a suit and try to make him an office worker. It sounds harsh, but the Afghans have to decide if they want to be anything different themselves. We can’t, and we shouldn’t try.
