Photos Afghan Armed Forces (Prior to 2021)

Due to the size of the mission in the Middle East and North Africa the USSOCOM presence has been far larger for a long time than it will ever have been in the Philippines. The number of personnel and available assets is so much larger that I can imagine that things become routine. Every problem starts to look like a nail so you use the same hammer. I can recall concerns coming out of Special Forces Groups about the types of missions they were conducting which was almost exclusively just the one: Direct Action.

No thought process other than do we hit it with a drone/air strike, with special forces or both?

Smaller numbers mean more ingenuity is required. Whether that's due to a theatre being seen as secondary, because nations have limited numbers to work with, or do not have the transports available to move them into position rapidly enough.
Yes, so with limited resources one theater get lean and mean, while the other is bloated and lazy in finding ways. As much as we hate some of our enemies, I dont think the population will welcome an A-10 brrrrrting over Basilan island anytime soon.
The deal with the taliban is no American soldiers outside KBL. Pretty sure the taliban are afraid of their soldiers that kicked their ass for 20 years. Rightly so Americans don't want to screw up the thin ice agreement. Denmark, French, Germany have all offered to pick up Americans, we have a good system that works with good safe meeting places. There are no taliban or crowds @ any embassy this morning. Communications are still working & everyone outside are kept up to speed on conditions. Overflights continue just in case but things are kinda sketchy.....& 2 more weeks of this is gonna be ruff on people.
This shows that there is more sophistication in the Taliban mindset, if they know how to act and make deals with Americans. They remain the victors and allow the Americans to pull out with out the us of B52s

"Here is what the military was focused on when the Taliban and CCP were focused on Blitzkreiging through to Kabul and Taiwan."

They actually were purging military along ideological and political lines since February.


 
To be honest I never through I will ever witness something as epic as this. The Fall of Kabul marks the end and complete failure of 20 years of US policy in the Middle East drafted by corporate hawks in PNAC and other similar think tanks. The whole of Humanity feels so much relieved after watching it collapsing. God damn all those murders and liars in Washington and NYC and brianwashed cannonfodder who support their fascist policies. I got so much plesure watching all of you being humiliated. Thats was shock therapy for you, f***ing inhumans...

My GGPa texted me this picture overnight to put up in the cockpit. As a kid I used to listen to his stories of the Danish Resistance Fighters rescuing 8,500 Jews in 1943 from under the noses of the occupying Germans & their final solution for Jews during WW2. We hid them in our attics, barns & basements & under dark of night we boat lifted them all to neutral Sweden for the duration of the war. History repeating itself??????? Have we learned nothing????? The US is saying it can't be done......GGPa says different.

Some of the outposts were overrun by Chechens indeed, some managed to break through, some were negotiated to leave. Before discussing History read it first. But again this is the wrong thread to discuss Grozny 1996.
