Topic	This Afghanistan situation really is so sad

He's talking about property EXPENSE not potentional for lives lost due to the property. I wonder how much that property is the US property and much is the Afghan armies property. I mean, all the aircraft is for the Afghan army (although, it is useless to the Taliban) and most of the M4s that the taliban soilders are carrying around look very new, almost like they never were used, which makes me think that they got them from a Afghan army stockpile, since the US ones are much more used typically. It would be hard to preemptly destroy the Afghan army stockpiles if you thought they where a going concern, which our intelligence community thought even as far back as early August, since we sent the Afghans a few blackhawks around that time. streamofthesky posted... Yup. Should've gone in, wrecked their shit, hunted Osama to the ends of the earth instead of letting him get away, wipe out the Taliban leaders that aided him, then said, "if you ever fuck with us again, we'll be back and it'll be even worse." And then left. We even F-ed up on that part of the war. We had Osama in our sights 3 times, but since the US military is such a bureaucratic nightmare the ground troops where not authorized to attack him. Instead, they had to wait around for hours for the special forces to be briefed and arrive, which of course gave Bin Laden time to escape. So, Bin Laden escaping the biggest man hunt in history had less to do with him being the nephew of Harry Houdini, but rather our military being grossly incompetant. It was a similar thing with Sadam, until he decided to stay in one area. --- <('.'<) <(^.^)> (>'.')> Splendiferous <cite>DragonClaw01 posted [p:957300208] in This Afgha...
