(December 20, 2022 at 4:04 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Even the link in question had nothing to do with american soldiers. The distinction may be trivial in whatever shithole our boy is from on account of warlords loving mercs, but "private military contractors" are not american soldiers - and were very much a mistake. Often enough, they're washouts and rejects. Even so, when this came to light, the private contractors shitcanned the offenders and set up a whole new position to monitor for garbage like this going forward. Wasn't the first time, happened in the Balkans too..and it was always an actual soldiers job to clean up the mess at risk of their own life.
Taliban, for it's part...remains taliban. People were willing to die to flee with us soldiers...from taliban rule. We're not saints, but it's not exactly hard to do better..than the fucking taliban.... When I die, one of my only regrets, will be that we didn't end every last one of those worthless pieces of shit. All of them, really, not just the taliban specifically. It seems like a shame to cause so much disruption and misery without finishing the job once and for all.
If you're ever truly at a loss, Winter, about the difference between one group of combatants and another..just remember that islamists would behead you for any number of things you've shared with us here, on these boards, while a committed us soldier would whisk you away from them -even as- you called us filth and struck us, and shot at us, and killed our friends.
I'm a different cup of tea; because I know who the enemy is, and who the ally is.
Simply:
My enemy is Satan and anybody preaching his way.
My ally is God and anybody preaching his way.
The Taliban preach Satan's way; we saw that in so many incidents that the last of them is locking women from studying.
The U.S preach Satan's way; we saw that in the terrible foreign policy that the country has, like airstrikes they hit civilians with, the stealing of the World's gold reserves; the invasions...etc.
The more you incline to God's way; the less problems I will have with you.
The Taliban proved what they are by preventing women from studying and from forcing woman to wear garbage bags. They just burned the futures of so many humans.
But the U.S burned me, burned billions for years by supporting dictators like MBS and the Sauds, they burned Iraq, they burned Afghanistan, they even gave the Taliban Stinger systems!
Remember this verse from the Quran:
Quote:Sura 60, The Quran:
https://quran.com/60?startingVerse=8
(8) Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair.
(9) Allah only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported ˹others˺ in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.
