[/quote] Precious, where exactly did I state that? By all means live your life drawing conclusions based upon your assumptions! BUT CHEW ON THESE FACTS: If you want to talk about honor, shall we examine the strings of trophy necklaces G.I.s brought home from Vietnam? The ones strung with the ears and fingers of the VietCong? And in the same war we also had Lt. William Calley, who was convicted of war crimes after he ordered the brutal slaughter of between 304-547 [i][and those are official US Army estimates][/i] civilian men, women and children as young as 12, 22 of whom Calley personally killed. [i]BTW: those women were first gang-raped before their bodies were mutilated.[/i] And as for Calley? He eventually got off with a court martial and life sentence... followed by a Presidential pardon wher ehe only served THREE YEARS OF HOUSE ARREST. Today Calley is walking around free in Florida. Or, how about those pics taken at Abu Ghraib in 2004? Where FEMALE soldiers proudly posed mocking tortured captives? And, in 2011 in Khandahar, we had U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales who after night of binge-drinking Jack Daniels [i][and watching a Denzel Washington movie glorifying wanton revenge][/i] he strolled out and -using his firearms and a knife- personally killed 16 Afghani civilians: NINE CHILDREN as young as 2 years old, four women and three men. He's currently serving a life sentence in Leavenworth for those war crimes. [i]FYI: Last December and just before he left office President Trump flatly refused to overturn that sentence... but that too was scrubbed from the MSM and the public consciousness.[/i] People like yourself seem to have conveniently forgotten about those atrocities because they shatter the quaint notion that American soldiers don't engage in barbarism. But the fact is, we are no more morally superior than anyone else on this planet because there are dozens of similar documented instances going all the way back to the Civil War. But you go right ahead and keep pointing that accusing finger; just remember that when you do so there are three more pointing right back at you. [/quote] So, those things from the past make it perfectly acceptable for the Taliban to take these young women and subject them to fates nightmares are made of? There are no fingers pointing at me, or most of us, as we never committed any atrocities. These abducted women never committed atrocities. The examples you present were countered with punishment. Will the Taliban be punished??? Oh, and the whole Abu Ghraib thing -- you consider being naked and having women's bloomers over your head torture?? You clearly have no idea what the Taliban met out as torture. The shit they do makes the Viet Cong look like boy scouts in comparison. I think you are drunk, and need a break. [/quote]

"7 buses filled with world-renowned orchestra performers — 280 girls all approved to go,” said Robert Stryk, a Washington fixer who has been coordinating private evacuation efforts in conjunction with former Navy SEAL and US Congressman Scott Taylor (R-Va.)."
“Our hearts are broken, he added. “These young girls spent 17 hours on a hot bus with no food or water and were 393 feet from freedom but were denied entry into the airport because the United States government gave [the Taliban] the power to override the US Army’s 82nd Airborne."
