bedpan posted:insanely pumped that seal team 6 killed a man and mutilated the corpse even after crashing a helicopter I remember when this happened and thinking “this is completely pathetic, it took like 15 years to get this guy. Bin Laden 100% won.” A co-worker chanted “U!S!A!” and suggested we all go out to celebrate.

The US war in Afghanistan killed thousands and worsened the lives of millions, but it built hundreds of McMansions in suburban DC so who can say if it was good or not.

Ash1138 posted:lol yeah it was some super secret stealthy version of the blackhawk that no one knew about until then I think the chopper pilots said the walls around the compound would mess with the rotor air-flow somehow and mess with its ability to take off again. They got told to go ahead and do it anyways. I guess they learned from Iran-Contra and sent a backup helicopter to get them out after the first breaks down. quote:Slabinkski and others in the squadron had fallen under the influence of an obscure war novel, “Devil’s Guard,” published in 1971 by George Robert Elford. The book purported to be a true account of an S.S. officer who with dozens of other soldiers escaped Germany after World War II, joined the French Foreign Legion, and spent years in Vietnam brutalizing the insurgency. The novel, which glorifies Nazi military practices, describes counterinsurgency tactics such as mass slaughter and desecration and other forms of wanton violence as a means of waging psychological warfare against the “savage” Vietnamese. https://theintercept.com/2017/01/10/the-crimes-of-seal-team-6/ Ronwayne has issued a correction as of 04:29 on Apr 27, 2021 |

wasn't it abundantly obvious after a few years that mission parameters were constantly shifting (because there weren't tangible goals other than get Osama which laughably failed at Torabora) and being undermined by different groups within the political community, MIC, intelligence community and military, that alliances were always in flux and the reporting from the ground was deliberately massaged to make it look to the politicians in charge that more money, troops and one more big push would bring it home? The reality was it was always a clusterfuck and was never "winnable"
