Empath_Coach_RR They had 20 years to figure out how to motivate their own army and couldn’t do it.

Ow morale is such bull shit. Given how Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom and land against Putin's forces, and the ten years of graft and support worth trillions in Afghanistan, they have no excuse for giving up and giving into the Talebandits. They bear responsibility.

Story to lay out the facts but the Afghan morale was shot after the Taliban took over 90% of the country when Obama ran things.

Trump-Pompeo nation building.

No way! So, if I’ve got this straight, the people that risked their lives and helped you for last 20 years are a little bummed that you went behind their backs and made a deal with the enemy?

So, you’re telling me we should’ve never been there in the first place? Being a human, with an average brain, I hadn’t gathered that in my first 32.5 years of existence.

The justification for leaving is right there in the opening paragraph of the report: the Afghan military didn’t trust their own government would continue paying their salaries if the US was not there to force them to. Zero trust in their own government.

They would never have been ready. It wasn't a fight initiated by the people of Afghanistan and as such it would always fail.

Morale was destroyed when Afghan commanders stole yhe pay of subordinates. Or perhaps the many other reasons the courty was always going to return to warlords and Taliban

Gee, they got tired of fighting for their country. Easier to give in to the Taliban.

The morale of Afghanistan’s military was “destroyed” by years of corruption in high places. Trump’s deal with the Taliban hastened the collapse.

The war in Afghanistan was the biggest money pit of all time.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesThis is what the GOP wants to go back to. The good old days, when america was great. 🤮 So others dont have to click the bait, the 'crimes' are claimed to be 'Drunkenness, waywardism, disobedience to their parents, being out at night by themselves, wearing pants, accepting a date from a man, accepting a ride from a man.' The pants claim is obvious horseshit. Like beating up girlfriends in high T rage?

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesYou're right. My sense is once they start arresting people for an abortion, the majority are going to be women of color. Imagine being sent to prison over a right women have had for 50 years. Mind-boggling. If you die while trying to kill your baby it's your fault. Bye A minority of this country is forcing its will on the majority. This isn’t going to go well

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesReminder: Abortions save women’s lives. I was party to a full molar pregnancy. Not a good time but grateful that dilation and curettage was an option Any human being that has a child will face economic drain to care for that child and have increased stress through that child’s life. What a dumb article. Maybe we should cease to exist and procreate for our own selfish lifestyles!
