[@brantisonfire]

My sis joined the Army as a veterinarian technician and spent 13 months in Iraq, stationed at Al Asad from Sep. 2006-Dec. 2007. She went straight from high school, went to a university and then dropped out, joined the Army in September 2005 and chose the expedited route to boot camp. Straight off to Ft. Leonard Wood and then to Ft. Bragg. My senior year, 2005-2006 I was just amazed and scared for her. She told me about having to put down stray animals on the base and treating the K9s for injuries out in the field. She ended up addicted to Ambien after she told the medics she couldn’t sleep and drinking smuggled in whiskey by the national guard guys that were there. Damn, she is tough as fuck. Now she’s a prison guard and has already broken up a few fights and saved a guy from jumping off a mezzanine in the prison to commit suicide. I don’t know how she does it.

@@bugwild1544 part of me wants to say “fuck you” but the other half is in agreement. There are people that are built differently than us civilians that have something inside them that gives them the strength to make this sacrifice, but I’m sure a lot of it is recruiters bullshitting potential enlisted men and women to think they’ll make a lot of money and protect their country. I wish my sister never joined and never had to go over to Iraq. I can tell she’s much different from the sister that I grew up with for 17 years.

[@koltoncrane3099]

Bugwild People join wars cause they think it’s moral and ethical. Remember fdr moved the fleet to Hawaii cause he knew without an attack the U.S. woudknt join ww2. Remember ww1 the Uk let a merchant ship be sunk by Germany to let Americans die. The U.S. moved weapons to the UK so Germany had every right to sink the ship. But Germany killing a hundred plus Americans helped make Americans want to join ww1.

[@matthewmcdermit8744]

1. You do not have any video of Americans shooting civilians. 2. Some of the Taliban also carried American weapons. The point is, if you hear what sounds to be an American weapon, it is not 100% certain it was an American pulling the trigger. 3. Because many of the Taliban did not wear conventional uniforms -- most simply wearing civilian clothes -- when you take the weapon out of their hands, they look like civilians. The point is, some of them might have been in firefights where Americans legitimately defended themselves, but the person's weapon was left behind. 4. With all of that said, the U.S. military is held to a higher standard. They should analyze the video -- that they -- like us -- are discovering for the first time. 5. Oh, by the way, CNN, I did not hear who set off the initial blast, which attributed to more than 130 indescriminate deaths. But that is boring. Who cares about that, right? It is more salacious and will garner more viewers if you can smear the "good cops," dirty-up the "good guys." I mean, the Taliban needs to get on with oppressing women and girls and r-ping boys.

Which administration? It was Trump’s administration who negotiated the withdrawal and imposed a ridiculous timeline. If they had done any serious planning in the months leading up to it, instead of, you know, plotting to overthrow the fucking election, maybe it would’ve gone smoother. By the time Biden’s butt was in the chair the Taliban were already in control of half the country and gaining ground by the day. The only responsible thing left to do was withdraw. Everyday we were in country was another day the war was being needlessly dragged out. It was OVER. 20 years of blood and treasure down the crapper. And everybody knew it. What happened in that airport was the nigh inevitable result of 20 years of hubris and wishful thinking, compounded by greed and jingoistic bloodlust, and even made worse by the chaos on the ground and the fact that you had newbies working the fence. And while it is undeniable that some Marines that day acted with honor and professionalism under the worst circumstances, it is also clear, from the sound of gunfire in this video and the testimony of Afghan survivors, that some of your guys completely lost their shit and started firing at phantoms. The story of this war in a nutshell: young stupid kids signing up for war practically as old as they are, not understanding a damn thing about it or the part of the world they’re going to. Receiving ridiculous orders (and then carrying said ridiculous orders). They get into a situation that probably requires more finesse than their 10-mile runs and “shoot first” ethos have prepared them for, with the same old predictable results. They go home, apply for disability, and then blame every body in the chain above them, absolving themselves of the orders they followed in the uniforms they put on themselves. I’m sorry, you may not be the villain in this story, but you also don’t get to play the victim. The only victims were the people outside that bloody wall…bombed, invaded, lied to, extorted, arrested, tortured, jerked around, given false hope, and then finally abandoned, though not before one final bloody nose doled out by this war’s main participants. The last thing they deserve is for their tragedy to become fodder for more of our petty political bullshit. No one outside the US cares; as far as the rest of the world is concerned, we’re ALL complicit.

I remember hearing about that one of the scout snipers was observing an ISIS militant on a balcony of a residence with an RPG being mounted over his shoulder. He reported it over the radio and he was denied the green light to fire. Just like many more of our Marines there, they were ordered to not do a single thing. To just sit there and take it. It is this kind of blatant idiotic stuff that people have to deal with. Bureaucracy and politics 100% of the time ruins everything and makes things so much harder and makes people’s jobs so much more difficult. Tragedy could be prevented if the government would stop tying the militaries hands behind its back and loosen the ROE.

There's a reason Ukraine isn't conscripting 24 year olds and younger, and up until recently weren't even conscripting 25-26 year olds. It's explicitly because they are trying to protect their countries youth for the good of the future of the nation. And with Ukrainians warriors we're not even talking about training they also have experience in actual full scale war with another developed military yet they still see the youth differently than what you're describing.
