With people on the runway planes cant take off, looks like our troops will be walkin out of there. The planes will take off.

User ID: 77416429 United States 08/16/2021 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to twitter.com (secure)] The US military has suspended air operations at the Kabul airport while troops try to clear the airfield of Afghans who flooded the tarmac, per @barbarastarrcnn . Biden's national security advisers have made clear this a.m. they don't consider the airport secure right now.

User ID: 8080014 United States 08/16/2021 09:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But none of them are military defeats. The distinction is important and even more important when your consider that the government has completely hamstrung our military with bullshit rules of engagement and other nonsense in every engagement. And yet they still crushed the opposing forces. Then the government backstabbs them gives everything back and walks away. None of those things should be misconstrued as support for any of the US police actions of the last century as I vehemently oppose them all. You're arguing SEMANTICS! By definition, we DID lose because we weren't victorious and it's either one or the other. Further, if we 'crushed the opposing forces', then why are we even retreating? Short answer: because with all our might and hardware [hardware now left behind as further evidence of our loss] we actually "crushed" nothing. And BTW: we DIDN'T have such restrictive "rules of engagement" during Korea or Vietnam. Those rules you use as an qualifier are a product of the 80's. Quit trying to revise history. No one who would say something so completely uninformed as to rules of engagement in Vietnam should dare to lecture anyone on revising history. And my statements are not just semantics. If we get in a fight and you beat the shit out of me up one side of the street and down the other, but you quit and walk away because your wife is nagging you, I could say I hold the field, but I couldn't with any honesty say I beat you. The US loses its current actions politically, economically, and culturally, because they are unwinnable in those terms. That doesn't mean the opposing side outfought our military. You're equating a street brawl TKO with a battlefield? WHAT GENIUS! And with that "outfought" reference you're still qualifying a "win" based upon a body count. So, answer this: since 1945 -and allegedly "outfighting" our opponents- how many nations have SURRENDERED to our military forces? Go ahead and list them. |

The good news is, if Americans decide to grow a pair and revolt, our military would surrender to us in days. If a few hundred sandal wearing goat rapers can defeat them, they wouldn't have a chance against the people of Kentucky, let alone texans. |

You might not be evil, but you help it grow by compairing mental illness to evilness... You are so, so, so wrong miss. Most mental health issues are a result of abuse etc... the abusers are the evil ones Ma'am. Not saying an evil person couldn't develop a mental health issue... but most mental health patients are suffering from abuse at home. |

Im counting them based on dominance on the battlefield, land, sea and air. Do you think it is a coincidence the Taliban is moving in after our Toops are leaving? Why didn't they take over while our military was there? When were the times the US surrendered to another nations military? Go ahead and list them. |
