Quote:6ix, the other day you listed all your substances: alcohol, marijuana, coffee (24 cups a day! That can't be right). I should have bookmarked that entry. I forgot cigarettes. Wow! Substance abuse puts you right in the middle of pack of Trumptards. Then there are your teeth ... you don't have any. Then there is your job ... you don't have one. Then there is your family ... what a family. Then there are you beliefs ... you have got far too many beliefs. 6ix, you've got problems, very fixable but you are not fixing them, that will kill you long before you get to 80 years old. Dropping dead sooner rather than later is a very strong sign that most of your previous actions were incorrect. But there is one thing you have got in common with Texans I knew that are now dead; you've got optimism. But what you need, and every other Trump voter I know, is pessimism. Not pessimism about America but about yourself, your abilities, your opinions, and how you spent your life. No more of this nonsense that all Trump voters have that they know what they are doing ... and you need a plan that makes sense. This assumes you want to live to old age. For now, you have got the home remodeling to distract you, but eventually you'll be done. What will you do next?

US final drone strike in Afghanistan was 43-year-old Zemari Ahmadi, who died with nine members of his family, including seven children, when a missile from a US air force Reaper drone struck his car as he arrived home from work in a residential neighborhood of Kabul.
US military officials have insisted the targets of the 29 August operation were Islamic State suicide bombers.

This is why America keeps losing wars. Not because America kills civilians, although that does make more enemies, but because America insists it didn't when it did. The constant lying and confusion and purposeless killings are a guaranteed strategy for losing war after war.

Where did the $5 trillion spent on Afghanistan and Iraq go?

Congress used “emergency” and “contingency” funding that circumvented the normal budget process. For the first decade of the conflict, the US used emergency appropriations, which are typically reserved for one-off crises such as floods and hurricanes. Detailed spending oversight was minimal. And because this type of spending is excluded from budget projections and deficit estimates, it enabled everyone to sustain the pretense that the wars would be over shortly.
The result was what former defense secretary Robert Gates termed a “culture of endless money” inside the Pentagon. The defense department made the operational decisions; managed the bidding process for contractors; awarded the contracts (largely using non-competitive bids); and kept at least 10% of the wartime funding in classified accounts.
Not even the financial crisis of 2008 could interrupt the spending spree. While Congress imposed across-the-board spending caps on government programs, war spending was specifically excluded. The Pentagon was able to use the special “contingency” war budget to buy upgrades, services and new equipment that were barely related to Iraq or Afghanistan. Consequently, the Pentagon budget kept growing – and was able to double its size between 2001 and 2020.

There have been no 9/11-scale terrorist attacks in the United States in the past 20 years. Meanwhile, according to the most recent estimates from Brown University’s Costs of War Project, at least 897,000 people around the world have died in violence that can be classified as part of the war on terror.

How mass killings by US forces after 9/11 boosted support for the Taliban

In the most notorious massacre of the war, US SSgt Robert Bales walked out of a nearby base to slaughter local families in cold blood. He killed 16 people, nine of them children.
Haji Muhammad Wazir lost almost all his immediate family in the early hours of 11 March 2012. It was more than a decade after the twin towers came down, but they were the reason the US military was on his doorstep.
Bales killed his wife, four sons, four daughters and two other relatives. He shot the children in the head then tried to burn their bodies.
“It is very hard for me, I still feel like these things are happening right now,” Wazir told the Guardian, nearly a decade after the almost unimaginable slaughter ripped apart his life. “I am very happy the American forces have finally left Afghanistan, and very grateful to Allah for making this happen. At last I feel safe.”
Those murders were perhaps the most high-profile civilian deaths of the war. But it was not the only time foreign forces killed large numbers of women, children and non-combatant men, in just this one corner of a single district of Afghanistan.
These terrible losses, repeated in many parts of Afghanistan, would prove powerful recruiting tools for the Taliban, as they slowly gathered their forces to retake the country.
“I could not go and fight, because I was the only person left from my family to look after my son, but I was supporting them financially and in other ways,” Wazir said of the aftermath of his tragedy.
The Taliban commander for Panjwai district said, “Although some people were supporting us before, after this incident everyone joined or helped us in some way.”

New Woodward/Costa book: Trump secret memo ordering withdrawal from Afghanistan blindsided national security team
Just eight days after the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump was so determined to end the war in Afghanistan during his presidency that he secretly signed a memo to withdraw all troops by January 15, 2021, according to a new book, "Peril," from journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
Donald Trump et al. standing next to a man in a suit and tie: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley chats with President Donald Trump after he delivered the State of the Union address at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 4, 2020.© OLIVIER DOULIERY/AFP/Getty Images Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley chats with President Donald Trump after he delivered the State of the Union address at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 4, 2020.
The November 11 memo, according to the authors, had been secretly drafted by two Trump loyalists and never went through the normal process for a military directive -- the secretary of defense, national security adviser and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs had all never seen it. Unpredictable, impulsive, Trump had done an end run around his whole national security team.
In a remarkable scene, the authors write, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, newly appointed acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller and his new chief of staff Kash Patel were all blindsided when the memo arrived at the Pentagon.
Woodward and Costa reproduced the memo in "Peril." The directive was titled, "Memorandum for the Acting Secretary of Defense: Withdrawal from Somalia and Afghanistan," and the memo read: "I hereby direct you to withdraw all US forces from the Federal Republic of Somalia no later than 31 December 2020 and from the Islamic Republican of Afghanistan no later than 15 January 2021. Inform all allied and partner forces of the directives. Please confirm receipt of this order."

How about yearly “Draw Mohammed” contests?
Wasted time, American lives and Treasure... foolishly spent its blood and treasure defending a stupid fake Constitution that was explicitly Islamic.
They could have spit on the story of mahomet and could have only trained Atheist Anti-islam women for military and police, women with guns to force change.
Maybe it never will be civilized as they bowed to this demon Moongod al-Lah, never civilized because they don’t want to be
