Why can’t all sides be poo poo

Afghanistan is full of people who should decide their own fate. The poo poo side is trying to get in the middle of that for your own personal gain.

I'm glad Canada doesn't want to jump to put soldiers in Afghanistan to assist the US fuckup. Sending a couple dozen Canadian losers to Afghanistan to be a part of this fuckup would be dumb and not even helpful other than sending a signal that we are willing to be complicit with the US. If the US wants people out of Afghanistan they should be sending planes out, not soldiers in.

:canada: foreign support is notoriously nonexistent. Especially if you're not white. Their Afghanistan response has been very on par

Maybe one day the Canadian military will be just as respected as the American military, who's benevolent action never forces allies to stick dicks in hornets nests for zero geopolitical gains.

I've been seeing a lot of stuff now of people trying to frame Afghan war vets in the same category as Vietnam War vets. Along that line, how much of the "we were spit on and called baby killers" really happened to Vietnam War veterans returning home?

If you signed up for active duty during the time of the US occupation of Afghanistan then you chose to go kill poor people in a country you didn't belong. Anyone who made that choice deserves to hear about it forever. There was no protecting of America. There was only pain and death as part of a jobs program set up by loving monsters.
