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.

I was watching an interview with Carlson. A platoon leader that spent 480 days in Afghanistan. Lost a lot of men. 5 of them when an IED blew up one of his trucks. The guy who coordinated the placement of the IED with the Taliban was their translator, who worked for them for over a year. That's when he got found out. I know lots of people are pushing to get the translators over in Canada, but some were clearly not "helping us".
As for the general population we don't owe them shit. They didn't want what we had to offer. Maybe flying that giant LGBT flag over the embassy didn't win any hearths and minds. They dropped thier weapons and welcomed the Taliban. Some didn't, but that's on them. Twenty fucking years of fucking the dog is enough.
What about the women? What about them? The fucking recruiting center doors were wide open for feminists, if they wanted to go fight the eeeeeevil patriarchy. How did that work out?
