What are your feelings as the Taliban reclaim Afghanistan after 20 years of US involvement?

All those wounded soldiers and marines haunt me to today. All for what?

I was not there as an active duty service member, but was there as a contractor building a facility in Mazar-e-Shafif. It sickens me to know that the special ops base we built is now in the hands of these terrorists. Our current administration is an embarrasment.

The governments of the world are committing mass genocide via the covid death shot. We need Nuremburg Trials Now. Pulling out of Afghanistan and leaving all the weapons behind instead of going scorched earth is meant to demoralize the American Veteran. This is mass psychological warfare against the American people using the government, media, and corporations to push a shot that is meant for depopulation. If you think the 2 are not related think again. The Biden regime purposely destroyed America. He is an illegitimate president with dementia. This is the plan. Wake up people.
Covid 19 is Certificate Of Vaccination ID 19 Artificial Intelligence. This is all planned, COVID is fake.

The governments of the world are committing mass Genocide via the covid death shot and need to be held accountable. These are definite crimes against humanity. We need Nuremburg Trials started immediately. This is very obvious for anyone to see.
This has nothing to do with a fake virus and everything to do with control.

Leaving Afghanistan is meant to demoralize American Veterans. We have an illegitimate president who has dementia and a pentagon who are sold out to China. The US is using mass psychological warfare against the people with the media, corporations, and the government.
Wake up people.

Withdrawal equals retreat. Retreat equals loss. I'm sadden by all of our losses.

Maybe they thought it was gonna be like Iraq, “hey it’s gonna be ok, it’ll just be like New Dawn

The problem with any war, there no winners..only losers..loved ones are killed no matter which side you are on..and memories of the horror stay to last a life time...you do what's right for you in combat but you know that just as you choose to kill, you will be killed by others.

I think that if you're surprised in any way, you've been fooling yourself for a very long time. This already happened in Iraq. I've seen both coming since about....2005.

It's ok to admit it was for nothing. It's ok to admit our buddies died for nothing. All it does is help to focus the rage where it belongs: on our "leaders" that love to lead from a pulpit or desk in DC.

We all fought for nothing. Hell, less than nothing because the costs incurred place us in a FAR worse place than we were on 9/10/01. The take away should be not to let it happen again. Ignoring that fact, and pretending our service in the GWoT was meaningful, will only ensure our children and grandchildren will be placed in the same situation during the next generational war.

It's about time that we got out of there. Just like in Iraq, either the national army and police thought we'd be there forever or they just don't care and were only in it for some of that American money. Anyone who thought that the outcome would be any different when we left whether we were there for 2 or 20 years is silly. The training wheels never came off. They always had American support in some way, shape, or form.

On my trip over there in 13-14 a couple of us were talking to a JTAC who was attached to a SF team and he said half the Afghan formation went out on missions high as kites. They were never going to take the lead and do anything constructive.

We were right for going over there. I can't say we were right for staying as long as we did. Was it a waste? Not entirely. Trying to build a country like that into a westernized nation is a waste of time and resources because there are a lot of people out there that still live in the stone age. They don't care about government or any of that. Family, tribe, and preserving their simple life is all they care about.

I did not serve in Afghanistan. I deployed to Iraq 5 times between 2003-2007. I am proud of the Soldiers who went there and the ones I trained when I was a Drill Sergeant and subsequent Platoon Sergeant. I am saddened for my fellow Brothers and Sisters who sacrificed so much. Deepest Respect.
