Fleeing is easy.  Fighting is hard.  Take out any amount of moral obligation and self respect and clinging to the side of the aircraft is almost seen as the heroic choice.

 

I can see it now. Marvels new super hero. “Man who falls from plane”. What should we call him besides dead?

This nearly makes zero sense.  I guess I’m unsure of your definition of “shitty”.

I think what the poster is saying is with all these issues needing attention, that focus may be taken off of terror threats and a successful attempt could happen. 

Rest assured I have lots of questions. If that irritates you in some way, please feel free to ignore me.

Man you say alotta dumb things for only having 13 posts.

See that funny looking squiggly mark at the end of those words, it’s a question mark which means I’m asking a question, not making a statement. It is in reference to whether citizens stay and fight for their homeland, or turn tail and desert their homeland. 

There’s lots of people criticizing our military pullout. I have a question, how many afgan’s deprived of their human rights equals the death or dismemberment of one US soldier? One, ten, hundreds, thousand(s)???

Give us your number. 

I wonder if during our Revolutionary War you had colonists jumping on ships and fleeing like rats from the British?

That doesn’t sound safe. The taliban FAA should investigate that. 
 

It’s interesting to me that a man would knowingly risk his life clinging to the outside of an airplane, but won’t risk his life picking up a rifle and attack the taliban???

Man, we’ve been doing that for 20.  The fact that they knew what was gonna happen to them and their families if they failed and STILL refused to show up and fight tells the story.

These people aren’t worth the bowl they wipe their feces ladened hand on.  

Zactly

Man there’s a lot of Afghans at that airport. Why not give them a rifle and a backpack full of ammo, turn them around and point them towards  the taliban and say fight for your country.

America first. 

Disaster??? It’s only a disaster if any more American soldiers die. 

Gunshots heard in both cities!

Taliban will sell to the highest bidder. Russia is broke…China, maybe, but they will want strong say so. Look at post Vietnam relationship between Vietnam and China, not good. The US will buy the Taliban very discreetly and without our military presence. 

What will be interesting is whether the US diplomats re-occupy the US embassy in the near future???

If this can be pulled off with no American deaths, I will call it a resounding success. 

You can sit in your armchair and politicize this all you want over your hot cup of coffee. I for one don’t want to see a single more US soldier come back in a body bag, dismembered or PTSDed. Get out now.

Immuno depressed and elderly are now getting a third booster. We will have to see how that plays out.
