Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” ~ Roy Batty, Blade Runner (1982) |

The mockery! I don't have to imagine. I went to Afghanistan three times and foolishly thought that I was helping people; friends died. The kids in the elementary school that we sponsored will either be killed or married off to savages. The future looked great in the past, but looks like ass now. “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78107266 United States 08/22/2021 01:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's a huge difference between Iwo Jima and Afghanistan. The Taliban fights against women. The Marines were fighting against Japanese soldiers prepared to fight to the last man. And for the last twenty years Marines have had to fight against the Taliban according to the most restrictive rules ever given to anyone "fighting" a war. Take away those restrictions and the Taliban would be wiped off the face of the planet. |

I don't know what lies they told you, but I can promise they were lies. There's a fine line between training, trauma, and torture. |

User ID: 79215964 United States 08/22/2021 01:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's fake. Taliban may be handy with an AK and dedicated muslims, but they aren't known for slick propaganda campaigns aimed at a western audience. No, it takes Hollywood for that. Or Madison Avenue or even a three letter agency. Afghanistan is on the other side of the world. They can tell you whatever they want to tell you about Afghanistan (just like they did in Syria) and you might just beleive it. |

They (the generals) all have "club membership" in mind. The boots on the ground smashed the towel heads, the politician's and greedy generals gave it up. Fuck them. |
