I’ll guess that Mustafa’s a native Afghani. If not he’s utterly nuts bringing a wife and child to that place. Here’s to hoping that Western reporters there get an “interview” with the Taliban. Here’s to also hoping that the many useless, overpaid State Department scumbags who were living at the Kabul Embassy have similar appointments to keep. I was in and out of that joint during my time in AG. Besides the SF crews, who were all gentlemen who got shit done, I never met a more obnoxious, useless bunch. The only time they moved was when it was time to stuff their faces with lobster and steaks during dinner there. Yes, I am serious. Eff them.

I disagree on this point:

You can’t use rules of engagement to fight a war.

Every war has rules of engagement. The difference is who writes the rules of engagement. The war fighters or lawyers or political hack.

I had a neighbor who was in Afghanistan early on. He was obviously struggling and committed suicide recently. His mother told my wife that she had waited 20 years knowing he would kill himself over seeing friends die there.

You sure they didn't say Kwanzaa?

Ramadan?

Damn tough situation for those left behind. Short term it will be survival of the fittest. Prayer for all.

Long term, never ever vote Democrat! Democrat F_CK everything up. Whether it is Chicago, NYC, Vietnam, Iran or Afghanistan. It all becomes FUBAR.

Are they evacuating the non vaxxes or do you have to have the vax?

A CIA guy said early last week that Kabul would be safe for at least three months.

Like I've been saying for many years now, the FBI and CIA, and most federal agencies, have been taken over by democrats, with perhaps 60% or more agents and staff being of the progressive side of politics. All that democrats need do when a republican wins the presidency, is wait him out, and work against him during his presidency. We witnessed that very clearly during Trump's presidency.

We are all screwed. In the event of a nuclear strike Biden has about 10 minutes to wake up, understand the situation and execute a response. He can’t get past step 1.

A lot of people here know i own a chain a car washes

Which I’m mostly liquidating

I refund 25-30k a year

Just give em their money back or rewash

Depends

It breaks down like this

25% nice well mannered people hard slow to be surly

50% just plain old grumpy and then after they lash out over 2-10 bucks they apologize when I tend to them

25% are simply a lost cause ….nasty people…vile honestly

And that last group is exclusively white including southerners not just demanding yankees

Indians are demanding but don’t yell or curse

Blacks are actually nice contrary to public perception of shoot first

Hispanics always chill

Young people rude usually except if raised right

This forum personally warmth wise falls short of that

I don’t think it’s politics it’s the anonimity of social media and the hustle to appear clever cute or tough

People can be anything here particularly their inner asshole

Freepers more often than not demand sympathy pay some bill they maintain in their heads as to if merited or not

Plus and this is a big one

Freepers are very risk averse

(A rant not directed at you personally )

Yes! Dead the EFF on. I was in Baghdad and witnessed similar things there. Ran into that leftist bitch Amanpour there. Me and my friends were all thinking the same thing when we ran into her. . .the thought involved an IED.

“What kind of idiot brings his wife and child to a war zone?” The kind of idiot who tweets “Because of Trump, I’ll hopefully watch the first concession speech in 33 years of my life.” Nov 8, 2020

Just shelter in place and fill out a Repatriation Assistance Request in triplicate. Clutch the form to your chest. Feel the warmth. Everything will be all right. President Biden said so.
