The west liberated Afghanistan from the Taliban and gave them the freedom to chart their destiny. Trillions were spent helping them. The translators were not helping us, they were helping themselves. They were freeing themselves from Islamic rule. Afghans chose not to fight for that freedom. They chose Islam above democracy. So, they made their bed and now they can lie on it.

Oh yea, the innocent Afghans were just minding their business when the Russians and the Americans showed up to fight the cold war. For centuries, the Islamists have been causing trouble, and they came to our shores to cause more trouble on September 11, 2001. It is part of their religious doctrine to destroy the infidel. That is you and me. The Afghan army did not fire a single shot to stop the Taliban advance. They folded like a wet piece of paper. As far as the Americans not servicing the aircraft or whatever else, who cares? The Afghans had guns, they had training, money and much more. If Canada was in trouble because of a ruthless enemy hell bent on enslaving you and raping your women, are you just going to throw your hands up in the air because foreigners are not servicing your junk? No, you'd stand and fight for your country and your family with the army you have, not the one you wish you had. Unless, you don't think your cause is worth dying for, which in case, put your gun down, take your boots off, and good luck.
