'I have a dream.' That one day every person in this nation will control their own destiny. A land of the truly free, dammit. A nation of action, not words, ruled by strength, not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck American pride! Fuck the media! FUCK ALL OF IT! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make America ''great again!'' ...In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!

Are you sure you aren't using outdated stats? I once read that yes, before we went to Afghanistan our supply came from South America, but a few years later 85% of the our supply started coming from Afghanistan. But I read that in 2008 so maybe my stats are outdated.

I'm gonna give you guys a red pill. The Middle East wars that have been going on since the 90's is about cutting off China from the Middle East. This hasn't been as effective as we'd like since China did an end around on the West and went into our backyard (Africa and Latin America) with better deals. In addition China's strongman (Russia) has drawn a line in the sand in Syria.

So Russia doesn't fail at invading it again.

Big pharma pushed doctors to prescribe painkillers for any type of pain or discomfort. My wife is in rotations right now and ~30% of the patients are making up aches and pains just to get painkillers.

made a lot of money there & in Iraq as a security contractor, being a soldier there though is just stupid & pointless.

so to all the vets just get out once your stint is done and go into the private sector, thats where the real money & fun is.

though its been years since ive been so not sure if the wells dried up there already or the work saturation status.

/you have an ouchy.

here take these pills and dont tamper with them, they will make you feel great if you do that, and dont snort them, see you in a few days *rubs hands*

Yeah man, shit is fucking retarded. Why have all these goddamn nukes and not use it to glass that whole worthless stretch of land into dust.

We need to stop wasting resources on prolonged warfare. Strike fast and hard. Sun Tzu would be ashamed of how we have ran this entire middle eastern campaign.

Taliban is not bad at all.
When they ruled opium was forbidden. I believe this is the real reason the burgers considered them a terrorist group

Combined with the fact Taliban now owns over 80% Afghan territory it's a very lucrative business.

>>127892904
Afghanistan (and the whole middle east at this point) is just a playground for the US. They could win the war in 3 days but they dont want to suffer heavy casualties and that is a good place to test real combat tactics and technology. Also provides some fresh footage i can enjoy when ISIS gets their heads blown off.

Also better hope Israel get their (TAPI) Turkmenistan - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India pipeline to rival Irans Peace pipeline to India.

As someone who has spent 4 years there, in the Hindu Kush, down in Kandahar and up in Kabul, allow me to explain:

>go there to defeat Al-qaida after 9/11
>kick Taliban out of power since they harbored Al-qaida
>exit strategy is essentially "the citizens will finally be able to take control of their country now! It'll be just like Germany and Japan after WWII!"
>fail to understand tribal dynamics
>fail to understand lack of national identity
>fail to understand 95% of recruited Soldiers and police basically only want to fight for their little slice of the pie, don't care about the whole
>fail to understand the seasoned Afghan-Russian War vets now in charge of military keep the younger, smarter, technologically inclined youth squashed for fear of losing kush job
>fail to understand corruption is not seen as a bad thing to Pashtuns
>fail to understand most people either fear Taliban or dont even see them as evil/corrupting, just a nuisance
>fail to understand Durand Line/Pashtun dynamics with Pakistan
>now Americans have to do all of fighting to keep Taliban at bay
>Taliban use populace as center of gravity and blend in
>can't easily kick their asses without killing tons and tons civilians
>only effective means of keeping them dispersed and rising up is to flood country with thousands of US troops
>even with 100,000 reported troops at height of surge, only 30%-50% are actual combat troops out patrolling and holding down COPs and patrol bases
>would need closer to 300k-500k troops there, for decades
>would need entire Pashtun way of life to change to combat corruption and instill patriotism and nationalism
>realize if we leave completely the country will immediately turn into ISIS 2.0 land
>don't want that to happen else the middle east destabilizes even more
>Al-qaida / Haqqani / Jaish-e-Mohammed / ISIS now have enormous training camp to operate in unopposed
>endless cycle unless decisive victory or Taliban inclusion in government

>>127892904

More like:

Poppies/Heroin for the (((CIA))) to get their black budget, and Lithium deposits for (((Green Energy))).

Because its fucking fun, perhaps?

The elites can find no other way to get whites killed. They know if they were to try in the homeland, they'd end up dead.

There's a massive supply of cuckservative "patriots" willing to fight, and die for "muh country" anywhere, anytime.

Whites are over represented in combat casualties, this pleases (((them))).

They're not guarding it, but there is a reason why the farmers are allowed to continue growing poppies, and it is this:

It is the farmers' only source of income. If it is taken away from them, then they will join the Taliban, because the Taliban gives money to farmers who need an income.
