You know it's kinda funny but even reflecting on my upbringing we really don't teach kids American history past WW2 I wonder why that is

probably no reason

As my AP History teacher (my favorite teacher ever) put it, "Even if they let me teach any recent US history I wouldn't do it because everyone would act like we're making political statements and I don't want parents calling and screaming at me. I will absolutely recommend you books though!" .

So the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is really going to be something if the Taliban ends up taking hostages huh?

Just the absolute worst, dumbest most predicable outcome.

Taliban still owns the place, we didn't install a puppet "democracy," and Bin Laden got most of what he wanted; an endless, expensive military boondoggle.

crazy how twenty years of effort from our nations leaders to fix the problems of a broken land failed spectacularly

like they have some kind of ideology that influenced their decisions that is incompatible with basic reality and incapable of resolving the most obvious problems

anyways, enough about america, how's kabul doing

I'm curious as to how many private military contractors got caught with their pants down and stuck behind enemy lines. Where are they in the priority list of evacuees? Are they already gone?

drat, i feel bad for the tens of thousands of people who worked with us who will undoubtedly be executed within the next week. between this and the abandonment of the Kurds a couple of years ago it should be clear that America still can't be trusted.

Some executions/beheadings in the local stadium, flanked by captured humvees, captured afghan soldiers made to watch.
