The Caspian Hare Posted April 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2017 More than 100 soldiers were killed or wounded in Friday’s Taliban attack on an Afghan army base, officials revealed Saturday, sparking outrage over the official failure to reveal the extent of Afghanistan's deteriorating security situation. Around 10 Taliban fighters, dressed in Afghan army uniforms and driving military vehicles, stormed a military base in the northern Afghan province of Balkh, killing or wounding at least 140 soldiers, said a Defence Ministry official. Other officials said the toll was likely to be even higher. http://www.france24.com/en/20170422-afghanistan-army-base-attack-taliban-casualties-anger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted April 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If, after 15 years of training them up and supplying them, they still are unable to guarantee basic security of their own base, it is time to bring our troops home from that place. These people are either not serious or they are cowards and they certainly can't be called cowards, IMO. They owe allegiance to their prophet, not their nation and as such will never fully fight against the Taliban or any other Muslim organization. I'd be FURIOUS to know my son, daughter or any other relative was risking their life in that country today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A rather obscure Bassoon Posted April 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Over 2000 US service men not including coalition troops for what exactly ? The Taliban are slowly taking Afghanistan back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back to when we pulled out of Iraq,our military trained and armed them and the moment some lunes showed up with a beat up old pick up truck with an ak mounted on it they s*** themselves,dropped their weapons,and ran away! Sorry but it's time to forget about these countries and let their tyrants rule them as they see fit.If anyone disagrees and says "what about those poor innocent souls" well boo hoo! For centuries our military members have signed up to possibly die for their country,our military wasn't meant for our troops to die for other nations! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we can't visit them with stand-off weapons when the cockroaches begin to gather in large numbers to train. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spilt the country up along ethnic lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
