4 US Marines confirmed KIA

It's 100% going to be a shitshow over the weekend. ISIS, ISIS-K, Taliban... whoever they want to pin it on. The fact is, it's a major F up.

We'll be back when ISIS (K) takes over and forms a caliphate. We will be actively helping the Taliban get rid of them in a couple of years

Can't have those defense contractors stock prices dipping can we?

Permit around 90% of the Americans to be evacuated then allow a bombing to be carried out that should provoke an escalation from US. Makes perfect sense doesn't it

When I couldn't think you could be any more stupid....here you are surprising me once again

Say what you will about Trump. He had a red line and didn't care about killing terrorists. Solemani was a prime example of this.

Prayers sent to Crowes and his family.

If I could go back over with the SEALS and fly missions for them I'd have a long hard talk with the wife about heading over.

This is going to get bad very fast in my uninformed, uneducated high level opinion.

Fuck

make it 10 Marines killed

I've already reached out to my old employer. The site I was at in Iraq for the ISIS fight we couldn't keep people there at the beginning because it was too dangerous. If another mission goes over in Afghanistan it sounds like the same thing. I always told the wifey that if there was something bigger than me I'd go back in a heartbeat. Only time will tell, but this seams like it may be

I know the simple answer is, "it's the Taliban" but I don't get why they would have not done anything crazy up to this point and not that they were model citizens but we're about to remove all troops and they hadn't done anything to fuck that up.

Seems wild that they would do this, but again, "it's the Taliban" and I guess it could also be a few dudes going rogue and not the plan of the leadership folks.

This was not the Taliban. This has the hallmarks of an ISIS attack. It could be Al Qaeda, but i don't think so. I don't think Al Qaeda or the Taliban would risk it right now,. But ISIS does not like the Taliban and they were actively fighting each other for the past couple of years. This is to give the Taliban/Afghanistan a black eye

Reports of a 3rd explosion floating around now.

Wife just told me it was a hard no for me to go back. I told her we had to have a long hard discussion if it got to that point

Before this withdrawal is all said and done with we could end up leaving with 50 to 100 casualties. I think this is the tip of the spear

Can just use the Trump line when 4 marines died in Niger

“He knew what he was signing up for. But I guess it hurts anyways”

You should have let this post marinate for a couple of days before posting.

Sure, if you want to sound as absurd as Crowes, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that
