glad u seen the light jibartik, it is such a cluster F every day just grows the sickness. it may be gory but i do think that honestly it went pretty well (no prolonged bloody reconquest war etc). Short time means less killing. SOME amount of revenge killing must be "legitimate" considering the corruption we relied upon for our attempt at a puppet gov't. I am sure that sins were committed, considering there were US trainers present aligning with gangsters. If there are not mass killings then things went remarkably well, and the media will DEF be playing up whatever killing does occur, but I mean this is the collapse of a puppet state so yes, you have to say you "expected" this horror like an ice cold psycho because that's what imperialism is. The situation we left is what we "accomplished". Yes, the fruit is bitter.
We stuck the knife in and here we are finally withdrawing it 20 years later, changed and with some shade of the conscience that was buried so successfully in the neocon creationist cultural era. It's only too bad that we were collectively too weak to realize we should just confiscate all that materiel we gave the afghan government before handing the keys to the machine over literally direct to the Taliban. But that decision was made by political reality. Overall we are pretty bad at the game of empire, being unable to admit anything real to ourselves.
That airport scene was too F'n grisly though I admit, you can't take off a plane from the middle of a sea of people like that.
