After 9 years of occupation my grand dad hasn't seen the fruits of the empire, only the burden of war, corruption, and drugs.
Sad, sad world because he called last week and was talking about my cousin turning out to be a heroin addict.

They have coms gear, so they can communicate. The reasons they used the tanks was because they had to get the SRR guys out off there because intell suggested that they were going to be handed over to militants, which they were in any case. The reason for the tank was to act as as distraction for another operation involving other units form Task Force Black to rescue the SF gusys from the militants.
Referring to UKSF as terrorists is just stupid, you don’t know what your talking about and I do just admit you wrong.
My dad wears the same hat as the one in your avatar, don't forget, my whole family served their part in defeating the previous oppressive empire hence USSR, my whole family is sick of fighting, but seriously is there any choice left?
Remember there was no resistance in Afghanistan, the resistance only gained force and momentum after 4-5 years of invasion.
In that 4-5 years Afghanistan became the world's most corrupt country, the biggest drug producer, and don't even mention law and order or crime.

I have been a pacifist all my adult life, but when it comes to the Taliban I shed no tears.
They have no respect for their own people, there are many videos around of them beating women for showing an ankle and stoning for adultery as well as recently hanging a boy boy about 10 for spying.
I save my tears for the innocent civilians caught up in all wars and conflicts caused by those in power be it political or religious.
Countering official American mythology, [China's] Information Office of the State Council presented an accurate account of what US propaganda suppresses, revealing some of what's known but publicly concealed about:
-- the world's most lawless state;
-- a society in social crisis;
-- a domestic armed camp under police state laws that suppress human rights and civil liberties, criminalize dissent, allow illegal spying, control information, persecute political prisoners for political advantage and deny them due process and judicial fairness;
-- torture as official US policy at home and abroad;
-- the operator of the world's largest global gulag;
-- systematic targeted killings;
-- permanent wars for unchallengeable dominance:
-- targeting peaceful nations;
-- committing ruthless state terror;
-- endangering world stability and peace;
-- illegally transferring public wealth to elitist private hands;
-- stealing elections;
-- governing as a one-party state with two wings, each as criminally ruthless and corrupted as the other, and;
-- as a result, is hated and feared globally and to a growing degree at home.

A good Taliban fighter is a dead Taliban fighter. I am glad to see these scum getting their asses served to them on a plate.
This is a war, i don't sympathize with the enemy that wants me dead.
