In Afghanistan the Taliban are civilians or perhaps someone can show us their uniform to prove otherwise !!!
THE Taliban are Afghan. They don’t need to prove anything to you. It’s their country.

You’re gonna get a lesson in futility alright. Hell, you’re already getting it. You just refuse to see it.

You guys NEVER believe anything until it’s too late.
We’re gonna lose in Afghanistan. We can’t kill enough civilians to win because victory isn’t possible. If I were you, I’d believe this report if for nothing else but to see it as a good reason to beat feet outta there.
But that doesn’t work with people like yourself. You wanna leave Afghanistan kicking and screaming. Don’t worry though...the Taliban have arranged for just that inevitability to happen.
Did you think our enemies will INTENTIONALLY not surround themselves with WILLING civilians? In war, right and wrong is in the eye of the beholder and history books... Nobody whined when the Romans killed all those people or when the Muslims reconquered Jerusalem but whatever...
Shopkeeper by day, jihadi by night. They hide amongst the civilian populations, wear no uniform. If not actively fighting, they’re providing shelter for the fighters or acting as a storehouse for the weapons. In their encampments, family members - wives and children - are brought along to support them and provide cover. Schools and hospitals are used as bases from which to launch attacks.
Target them all and let Allah sort them out on the other side.
It’s their nation, not yours. You had no issues with the “jihadists at night” when they were terrorizing the Soviets. Now it’s all about Allah sorting them out, huh?
Typical American imperialist mentality.

There is ALWAYS collateral damage.
You’re not gonna “liberate” Afghanistan though.
Lol @ collateral damage. This type of cavalier BS is exactly why we’re gonna lose in Afghanistan.
Never mind we have no dog in any fight over there.
We had a dog in that fight on Sep 10, 2001, and we have one now. Clinton understood that, but didn't fight hard enough. Trump understands that and turned loose the dogs of war.
As I said, I think it will go on forever. There will be a few people killed in the process, but yesterday's carpet bombing no longer happens. It went the way of trench warfare.

You’re kidding, right?
The United States is killing people in a nation that’s 7 thousand miles away from here. A nation that’s no threat at all to this country. We’re trying to kill off a native Afghan organization that can EASILY blend in with the population in a country where people are suspicious of outsiders, speak a language that may as well be Martian, and practice a religion that we perceive as hostile to our own. They have customs that are thousands of years old, and they’ve never been defeated by an outsider. These are people that have absolutely ZERO respect for a centralized government in Kabul, and rely on tribal forms of government that are rooted in hundreds of years of tradition.
So what exactly are we at war with? Our “enemies?” Who are they? Do you even know? You can’t see the fallacy of a superpower going into the graveyard of empires to chase a ragtag group of hardened militants that had no problems chasing our the Soviets? You think we’re gonna win THAT war? LMAO...you folks must be out of your minds.
Now 60 civilians are dead. I guess that means the Taliban will throw in the towel and declare surrender.

Turning loose the dogs of war is dumb. Sounds tough, but that’s where any semblance of toughness ends.
Losing the war in Afghanistan is inevitable. I don’t know why people like yourself prefer protracted losing over losing quickly and getting out.
Do you think the Vichy were any better than the Nazi's?
Nope,,,worked hand in hand.
