Also, and I knoa
@Mr BFK knows this, so this aint for him. But for folks who agreed with his post.
The US fighting Goat Herders in Afganistan is a very disingenous statement.
Those Goat Herders had a govt in Afganistan, with a trained army and trained generals before the US invaded. They also had contingency plans and strategies on what to do if they ever got invaded like all countries had.
Ontop of that, the whole country belonged to the goat herders. Its not like the goat herders were a minority there and they had no place to hide.b
On top of that, the Taliban was being helped and funded and trained by outside forces. Russia, Iran, Turkey, Saudia Arabi, Pakistan all helped arm and train and feed the Taliban for 20 years.
But most importantly, the Taliban has the mountains. And its impossible for anyone to win a war in those mountain terrains.
With all that said, the US beat the Taliban back. Twice. And it didnt take long. Where the US failed was making sure there was a capable govt to take over for the Taliban. The Taliban laid dormant for 10 yeara cause they couldnt fight the US army.
Then Trump signed a peace treaty with them, and then they rose up and beat the Afgani Army. Not a single battle or bullet was fired by or against the US when the Taliban came back.
None of these factors exist or will ever exist if the US was to target its own citizens in the US, minority or otherwise. And these arent even the only factors.
And again,
@Mr BFK imo is one of the people here who imo knows all this. So this post isnt for him. Its for everyone else agreeing with the post.
This aint my pro gun or anti gun post.
This is my lets not think we can recreate the Afgani insurgency and beat back the US army like the Afganis kind of but not really do.
