suicide attacks in the crowds at the airport, killed like a dozen US soldiers and who knows how many Afghans.

we're not going back, we're just gonna get more and more talking heads in the media fantasizing about how many bad guys they'd kill and if they were there or if Trump were in charge things would've been different

god do I hate Biden and he caused a lot of this mess for the previous 20 years, but his commitment to ending this crap is incredible. eating poo poo and punches from media, agencies, allies and he's still ending the god forsaken war.

hell he's even taking questions today.

This feels like Biden's Truman moment when he fired Douglas Macarthur.

Similar to how Crooked Hillary believed convincing Obama to get involved in Libya would be her capstone political accomplishment.

Trump would have done it, and you wouldn't have seen any of it on Fox or any right wing media at all.
He wouldn't give any press conference about it, his press secretaries wouldn't be out either, the only access will be a softball from Hannity or whoever he likes now OAN.
He would mention hes bringing the troops home, how all the afghans love him, the Taliban were great when he met them, the Taliban loved him.
And then within the next 20 sentences after he would have mentioned Hillary, Covid doing great, and calling out a random US governor and/or black female reporter/dem he has a beef with this week.
There would be no evacuations of afghan helpers, just troops and personnel.
Everyone from Dinesh to Tucker would be calling for the Peace Prize for doing so.

I haven't seen the updated numbers but at least 60 afgans were killed and a hundred or so more wounded

You don't hear about this in the media because the media doesn't care about the Afgans, no matter how much they are rending their clothes over "abandoning" them

UK news is the same.
Sky News literally said 'No UK people among the killed', didn't give any number and went on 'they came from the British Embassy'.

Where N is the ratio of nazis in the Marines,

1-(1-N)^12


Assuming the 12 death toll I'm seeing is correct. In that case, since you specify a majority, it could be a minimum 99.7 percent chance. Otherwise it's 1-(1-N)^M, where M is the number of dead Marines. Plug in 0.5 for N to get your minimum bound.

This assumes the dead are a representive sample of the general tendency of the Marines towards Naziism.

Just keep in mind, it produces a ratio, not a percentage. Plugging in 0.5, a fifty percent chance of each being a nazi, the minimum youd need to overcome for a majority, you get a ratio of about 0.997, or 99.7% chance of at least 1 dead Nazi
