I can’t imagine what a veteran of Afghanistan feels right now. God bless you all.

Pissed, and also glad we are getting out. We cannot fight for them forever. Even more pissed about how it seems we are abandoning the SIV applicants

The 'good' Afghan people have had 20 years of US support to build a government and fighting military. I'm okay with the decision to leave. What I am appalled by is the decision by the president to pull the military out before the US civilians and those locals with good reason to expect asylum were evacuated. The level if incompetency is unthinkable.
The government had 20 years, the citizens didnt make the decisions
Afghanistan isn’t a country the way other countries are, they’re extremely tribal and most of the tribes are afraid of the Taliban. There isn’t any strength without the US to fight anyone.
Why were we there to begin with?
The decision to leave was a weak descision, and weakness invites aggression. You just wait, Iran is already cooking up an attack against Israel from Lebanon. China is already ramping up the narrative against Taiwan. All because it's obvious that Biden would rather abandon Americans to their fate in Afghanistan, than to be responsible for a new military involvement, or be one-uped by Trump peace-wise.
Failing to meet smaller threats, means they grow until you are, eventually, dragged into a major conflict.
Trump was keeping a strong image and minor involvement, Biden's weak image is going to push him into a position, where he can't avoid war.
We were there because as John said...evil never sleeps. Same reason we were in Vietnam. But it's much easier to bitch and moan with your heads in the sand than implement the critical thinking required to realize and respect the nobility of the sacrifice a few for the benefit of the majority, so that's what most sheeple do.
You're welcome.
Spent 11 months over two tours working at BAF. Sent a lot ordnance, and did a lot of good while we were there. The way this was handled pisses me off.
Biden 6 weeks ago: “What kind of a question is that? No, I don’t trust the Taliban.”
Biden this week: “The Taliban has offered safe passage to the airport for American citizens.”
We are on the same US terrorist watch list as the taliban for questioning lockdowns and being Christians.
Praise allah
@@africanlipplateandbonenose3223 so true
@@africanlipplateandbonenose3223 Exactly
This has to be the most unbelievable shit we as America has ever done… Biden is absolutely insane. Of course the Taliban is giving way to safe passage for our troops.. they are licking their chops for the moment we get out of the country. They want us out so they can really start their plan. I mean this is the same group that attacked us on 9/11 and caused deaths after deaths of our own people. So what do we do? Give them control over all these innocent people and believe that they are gonna do the ‘’right’’ thing. Come on man, this is crazy. I agree we need to get our troops home but not like this, we can’t let these innocent people die like this. They are not ready for us to leave yet. We have been there this long, we need to see it out till they have legs to stand on.. just unbelievable man

I'm in college right now for mechanical engineering, and I have never met people as ignorant and misinformed as the so called scholars on campus. Everything John said in this video was pretty much dead on for most of my peers, and I go to one of the most conservative universities in the south eastern US. We will pay for this massive mistake and I fear it will be sooner rather than later....
Same dude. It seems that American universities are the gathering place of some of the most over-educated and unexperienced persons in the US.
Im glad I chose college later in life so that I am wise enough to avoid the indoctrination
@Stop Lying What does Islam teach about non-believers and what should happen to them? What does Islam teach about religious tolerance? What does Islam teach about Women? What does Islam teach about marriage? What does Islam teach about Christians and Jews? What is it that fuels terrorist groups? What is their worldview? Why is it that the Taliban will slaughter those who go against their rule? Is not the definition of terrorism using violence and intimidation to implement or maintain a political or ideological view? To not call the Taliban terrorists is foolish and shows ignorance. If you believe they are not terrorist by definition you're either a fool or just willfully ignorant.
That's why I take online courses
I mean.. sure you'll learn mechanical engineering, but .. At the end of the day it's just cultural brainwashing camp. Is there any facet of society this whole fantasy world view of reality being the status quo narrative that HASN'T Been infected..??

I remember my last tour in Afghanistan we did some tyrannical stuff. We built roads, multiple schools, secured those schools so the kids were safe, handed out food water and school supplies, provided basic hygiene supplies / check ups, trained their police / military, helped them with filtering systems for drinking water and more. The sad truth is we only got so far in the war in Afghanistan with the help of the Afghan people and we abandoned them.
Protecting the poppy fields and the child-buggerers probably undermined that image in the eyes of a lot of the locals, unfortunately. The US started off by offering the Afghans democracy, then telling them they had to pick the president the US wanted, not their own preferred candidate, then spent decades running the country in a way repugnant to a lot of the locals. The Afghan people weren't simply "abandoned"... with 300k men and all the hardware they could want, they refused to fight for the order you imposed on them.
I get it man you have to justify it internally but the truth is you had no business over there. You gonna build roads, schools in every third world shithole across the world? Is it your job to hand out water to afghanis at a staggering cost to us your people. Every animal on this planet manages to find water. People have been finding water in the middle east for at least 50,000 years. Third world hellholes aren't third world hellholes because the information on how not to be a third world hellhole isn't out there. Knowing what needs to be done and being able to do it are 2 different things. Also nothing is more tyrannical than what you were doing. Imagine if we were invaded then the people who invaded us took away our firearms and our freedom of movement but in exchange gave us toothbrushes and water bottles then patted us on the heads and motioned for us to go back in our homes.
That's all America does buddy look at the US history ever since world war II, The US has been in talks with the Taliban for over two and a half years to hand the country back over to them this was not a surprise this was planned but we still left all that equipment over there for them to get makes you wonder don't it.
You should ALWAYS blame our useless government....
The US government can't find popcorn in a bag of popcorn....
It's not our place to get involved with other countries. We need to worry about home before we worry about a country that doesn't want or Need our help. Even if we rebuilt the country from the ground up the afghans don't possess the iq points to maintain it
John as a Vietnam vet, it saddens me greatly to watch this happen a second time in my life
great bit! way to put it out there. good job !
Good summation. Thanks Jon.
My Marine son did multiple tours in Iraq in the 2000s. Two of my Army nephews did multiple tours in Afghanistan in the 2000s and 2010s. Thousands upon thousands of other service members have done the same. The people we have allowed to be in positions of authority in this country are not worthy of the honor of commanding these heros.
Well said. Semper Fi
Don't vote for hawks.
I have held veterans in tears because of the pains they suffered from Afghanistan. Now it's was for nothing.
Not for nothing. The opium fields are producing, the pipelines are secured, and arms have been left for the terrorist forces we helped train. The military industrial complex is strengthened. Americans were killed for no reason. That's mission accomplished for our elites.
It was always for nothing.

Im a Viet Nam vet. I quickly recognized the incredible repeat of departing in Afghanistan as the same way we left Siagon in 75. I believe it was intentional and very evil. Seems like we have Stalled the aircraft into a severe nose dive that might be impossible to pull out from. Now, I have a nephew as a Colonel , Army, in the Pentagon and he said he is seperating ASAP! It is not good now!! USAF 70-74.
Roer that. It looks intentional to me too. No one could be that incompetent.
I think this situation is cover for something else they are doing here. Leftists are evil. The weapons left behind are now being used on our soldiers and innocent civilians.
I believe a cover or at least a distraction...maybe to distract from the recount voting issue that needs serious attention...and fixed...

The thing about this is that it was clear this would be happening 20 years ago ... because the troops NEVER WENT TO PAKISTAN, where the Taliban are actually from. No one in the USA seems to know about this ... but not going after the Taliban in Pakistan is like ...

When Lloyd Austin was appointed as SecDef and was asked to describe what he thought was the biggest challenge facing the US Military and he replied “the threat of white supremacy within its ranks”, I knew it was game over.

Yup theyre much easier to spot now. I caught onto this years ago when leadership started virtue signaling for BLM. Most of them are cronies really just signaling their comrades that theyre on board. Its a way for them, Like Gen Milley, to say theyre traitors without consequences. Its real simple cronies/comrades have the same definition for a reason.

Dude I love this channel, I need to touch up on some more history cause I feel like you'd be a great teacher.
Once again, straight and honest talk...
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
True.
It shocking that some people think that the right thing to do is to keep staying in Afghanistan.
It's been 20 years. Countless lives have been wasted, countless dollars have been wasted and still there's nothing to show for it.
The answer can't be to keep wasting more resources.
My question is why didn’t we destroy those munitions caches? I know it’s more expensive to ship them back but wouldn’t it be cheaper to collect and destroy rather than let it fall into the enemies hands?
Now you are asking the right questions.
It was all equipment we gave the ANA, the ANA didn't care to destroy it while they ran away instead of fighting.
US tax payers finance the arming of foreigners while financing the disarming of US Citizens. US Government has become destructive to these ends!
US tax payers are financing the importing of a foreign army in civilian dress onto US Soil. US Government has become destructive to these ends!
US tax dollars are being used to destroy US borders. US Government has become destructive to these ends!
US tax payers are financing the silencing of US Citizens while their country is in duress. US Government has become destructive to these ends!
All of that equipment was to be used by the Afghan army against the Taliban. They gave up immediately instead of fighting. The fall of Afghanistan is not our fault, it is the fault of the Afghan people who did not form an army of several million men to fight the Taliban.
Its equivalent to a child being allowed to live at home until they're 40: some kids given that option would take it and others would go out and get their own job and home because they know it is in their best interest. The Afghan people and government were too stupid and complacent to do what they needed to do to fight the Taliban themselves. They thought that they would always have mommy and daddy supporting them. Honestly its probably because a lot of Afghans support the Taliban.
When I was in the military we were taught to never give up our weapons so seems to me that order came from a higher authority.
You earned a subscriber very good video.
Much good content. Thanks
We had 21 years to crush the Taliban and we couldn't, this is a disaster all the way around. I spent 6 years in the Middle East and two war deployments, it's a mess we can't fix. We need to take those funds, secure our borders and fix America.
We should have taken our toys before we went home though
No attempt was made to actually neutralize the threat..
I assure you once the Chinese decide to get involved there will be a depopulation event. They are unconflicted by moral concerns..
Of course we will have a few mass causality events in the states as well... I just hope it's all blue areas... I can live with that just fine..
@@everydayman3497 I could not agree with you more about that. This withdrawal is a complete cluster f*ck.
We could have crushed the Taliban if there wasn't so much red tape when we go to war. If we didn't put so much emphasis on minimizing collateral damage then the Taliban would have been dealt with.
@@everydayman3497 Those toys were left so the Afghan army could fight the Taliban (that they outnumber), but they decided to just surrender and hand it over to them. The Afghans don't want to fight for themselves, they want us to bail them out.
“Evil never sleeps.” The entire problem, in a nutshell. I heard Cernovich quote someone yesterday, and essentially he said “We have the watches; they have the time.” The Taliban is engaged in jihad - it will take as long as it takes, in their minds, to dominate. Years, decades, centuries… they plan to prevail. They’re playing the long game. We operate in sitcom-length increments. This situation right now is pretty terrifying. I believe we are in more danger now, from many forces, than we ever were.
This was the exact same reasoning used by the Viet Cong. You just have to have the patience to out wait your enemies.
Evil is as real and common as gravity.
I believe it was George Washington or one of the founders or generals during the revolutionary war that said they didn’t actually plan to defeat the British but instead make the war so prolonged and costly that they’d have to give up
Said with exacting precision ~ KUDOS!!
Agreed and this is the problem. Many people share the "if we all just play nice with each other, we can all get along" hippie mentality, totally ignorant of geopolitics and international culture and think the U.S. is just a bully kicking the can down the street incessantly looking to start "pointless wars". These are the same people who are now condemning Biden for abruptly leaving the Afghan people to fend for themselves. It's like make up your damn mind already.
its crazy u just change my whole view on this situation
I was a child in 6th grade when our teachers brought all the students into the library to see the horrors of 9/11...I fear my kids will see the same or even worse things happen now...God Bless Us now more than ever 🙏
We have been there for 20 years with no end in sight.
I was in 2nd Batt back in the day. First deployment was back in '09. I remember then, the few times we'd talk about the over all scheme of things, the sentiment was that it was always going to end like this.
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. All of our men and women that served in Afghanistan should be proud of the job they did in Afghanistan. Our mission was to capture or kill Osama (check), and to defeat Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan (check). Your service kept our homeland safe from further attacks on our home soil. It made us much safer and it helped us gain invaluable intelligence in our fight against terrorism.
@@alexsosa5727 hey do you remember when the fbi and the cia both had knowledge of the twin tower attacks and didnt act on any of it or share that info allowing that shit show to happen? and do you remember how their failure was used as an excuse to create new government agencies that would make sure this never happens on our soil again? you should one of those agencies bought up enough ammo from the civilainin a single year to fight the iraq war for four years? i do because that was the begging of the ammo shortages we are still seeing today. but my point is with all of that being done as they told us it was to protect us why is is our military has to be wasting blood and money over there for one single second after we killed binladen? because if i recall right the reason we moved into that shit show was to get him not burn our resources in the same place and the same exact way that the the former USSR did that lead to its failure? i do and it worries me quite a bit because we have been following in their footsteps for well over 20 years not doing the same things in the same places.. like their is some kind of guide on how to destroy a nation and get wealthy at the same time so you can take things over after it all crashes down..
I think it was Von Clauswitz's On War. where he said to defeat an enemy you have to defeat their means or their will to fight. Every country in the world now know we lack the will.
Love the Alexander quote, btw.
Well ... if you dont go after the Taliban IN PAKISTAN (where they are from), you wont ever solve that problem. There is an extremist religious province in that country, which is responsible for terrorist attacks within Pakistan itself, but they have trouble dealing with this by themselves.
Book 1, Chapter 1; What is War, I believe. If not, it is in Book 1, Chapter 2; Ends and Means in War...
ua-cam.com/video/Fl3NpETCkIE/v-deo.html For a Warrior Poet you seem pretty Soi my dude. Wake me up when those amazing weapons can cross an ocean. Did you say the same garbage when Trump abandoned bases in Turkey and Syria? Or when Trump let out 5,000 Taliban including the man who is currently the leader of the Taliban?
Idk about the rest of you but if any country starts with us I will join the military to stop them I do not lack will nor do I think our country does we lack good leadership
You got it so right Bro!!!!
Bagram didn't "fall" it was just handed to them.
Gifted...
And to say that just NOW bagram afb is in terrorist hands... the CIA had access to it before now. Remember, Afghanistan wouldn't have had bin laden if the CIA didn't create him first...
On a silver plate with a welcome sign and a pile of US weapons at the front gate and the cement factory.
Thanks Biden!
@@Noneya388 This is a false statement. This myth just doesn't seem to die. Bin Laden never worked for or was funded by the CIA. The CIA funded groups within the Mujahedeen but not Bin Laden nor the other major founders of Al Qaeda or the Taliban.
The president talks about gun safety then basically leaves the weapons in the dirt on enemy soil.
I've never heard this President talk about Gun Safety. He only talks about Gun CONTROL!
Those pictures you see are all armament we gave to Afghan forces, who forfeited them to the Taliban for safe passage to flee. Please do more research.
@Jordan Issaquah And Wumao troll accounts recently created on UA-cam, Troll! Funny. Ironically, just joined YT last month.
i bet they are enjoying those weapons right now.
Even if it were true we abandoned weapons, who do you think made that decision and why?
Support our warriors!
Thx new subscriber
Very valid points made…it’s very easy for these college students to fall into the purple hair safe space crowd nowadays, but I’m glad there’s many Americans like yourself just putting the facts out there.
It bogles my mind why troops were withdrawn before an evacuation. That said, US spent decades training Afghan military to fight for themselves and what do they do? The give up without a fight. Those solders and the rampant corruption in the Afghan government is EXACTLY why the Taliban was ALWAYS going to win. My heart goes out to the innocent citizens.
I guess they had an order to stand down Bc of a peace treaty? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
That's because they were know that they would be killed once the Americans are gone.
This 100%
The government estimated that 20% of the afghan army was taliban. I believe that to be higher. Closer to 60%.
Reminiscent of the corruption in our own government.
Thanks my brother, well played.
Good analysis
I remember base lockdowns for a missing NVG and they left weapons and sensitive tech behind? Unbelievable- what happened to our leadership!
It was no accident or oversight.
@Great White
No it is incompetency. Look at how they pulled out.
@@bighands69 Someone was ORDERED to leave it. It didn't happen by accident. They know exactly what they are doing.
Communists took it over decades ago. They used the U.S. military to destroy their enemies and now that's done, they're abandoning the U.S.
@UCPDXvVDFocNvpi5gVW8lE0g You think this happened because someone is stupid? This is by design. The U.S. wants the Taliban in power there.
For all the soldiers, Thank You for your sacrifice for my children, my wife, and myself. You are not failures our current administration are the failures. Keep your heads up and keep commanding The absolute respect you all deserve.
They are just following orders
Are you from Afghanistan?
No, just making a point
Got a few buddies that where though
This was a lost cause from day one, should've never happened just like Vietnam and others. Hopefully we learn from mistakes but probably not.
You are awesome as always. Thank you for your insight your summary your delivery always on point. Hooah!
Thanks again for your service
Western society is in such moral decline that the term "intestinal fortitude" is just a thing of the past. I can't even remember the last time I heard the phrase. Thank John. Keep up the fight.
In our western society 'intestinal fortitude' means making sure you take your probiotics and record your bowel movements in the diary you keep by the john. ;)
The moral decline is primarily upon the Marxist DemonCrap Party. Everything they stand for is immoral.
You ca blame the weakness of greed in the socialist office holders, and blame the sin of ignorance on their supporters. Blood will have to be spilled to preserve what is left of a shattered nation. Heaetbreaking
If anything, someone will be offended on behalf of those people who no longer have intestines.
So when was it actually morally just, because you name a date I could always point out the immorality of the time. And if you actually look back in history we are actually morally getting better as time goes on
"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up." -Barrack Obama
I was literally just thinking about this this morning lmfao
This shit started with Bush. Don't be ignorant.
this is all going according to plan
@@helikon06 bush may have got us into the mess but that doesn't mean you can blame him for every bad decision related to it forever. Biden is still expected to be able to handle whatever situation he inherits.
The teapot calling the kettle black. Obama was the king of *ucking things up before Biden.
Can't argue w anything that was said. I think the assessment was spot on!
Great video! Agree 100% with you on your video as a Canadian.
Better info from John than all of mainstream media combined.
