    I don't understand what America got from this war. The marines were frustrated due to the behaviour of afghans, the locals are unhappy from America seemed complaining about why America gets into this dirty work and even the local government they wanted to be in rule is also fragile. So what was the point of all this chaos.

    On the brass is talking to I think reporters and they’re standing there with the Afghan army and they said that they have great respect for them. I’m sorry Marriza I don’t have respect for anybody. That’s not in the military and they dang sure don’t have much more for anybody who’s not a marine even if you were in the military. They’re not Americans Marines I know did believe that for a second lol

    I investigated a group that had contact with an alien. after years I understood without a doubt they have a back channel. for over a decade the questions were flying. the answers change everything. humans have been colonizing the universe and the advanced people from our past are not extinct, they didnt leave. 87 human races colonized the Earth. Wars are not fought over oil. Our past is covering up the fact that advanced technology is left behind. The Earth is the most corrupt planet in the universe. This is why we are being tested right now for a conscience. all the corruption is being exposed for judgement. They can not allow technology from falling into the wrong hands. This is why there are forbidden places, places where no technology exists to enter.

    So just a heads up, im at the complete start of the video while writing this comment, but isnt it kind of concerning, that most of the comments i saw till now are about the "rare" in the title, because they already saw it elsewhere? Shouldnt it be, why this whole war even exists in this form and not that is supposiotely a false claim in the title?

    😂😂😂😂 بعد ان تم تمريغ أنوف العدو الصليبى الغربى الامريكى فى التراب بأنتصار المسلمين رغم الفارق الكبير فى الاسلحه هاهم يعودون بنفس الاكاذيب بأنتصاراتهم الوهمية كما فعلوا فى العراق وفيتنام وإيران، الذى لم يخبرونكم عنه ابدا هو الفريق الذى تفاوض معه الامريكان مع طالبان للهروب من وحل افغانستان هو فريق التفاوض الافغانى من المسجونين فى غوانتانامو يعنى هزيمة وإذلال اكبر دوله فى العالم.

    And when we left in 2021 it was a matter of weeks before the Taliban dissolved the democratic government and officially reestablished their regime. The Taliban has stripped away most basic human rights, particularly for women and girls. Girls are completely barred from education past the sixth grade, and women are prohibited from working most formal jobs, traveling without a male relative, or visiting public spaces like parks. The country faces deep economic instability, and roughly half the population relies on dwindling international humanitarian aid. What a waste this was.

    Ours brave warriors lives wasted in a senseless fight. They tried so hard to bs us into this being purposeful. Fact of the matter is, it was a horrific waste of time, lives, and money.

    Semper fi.

    At 5:50 the video outlines Obama's 'foreign policy review'. In the 1960's & early 70's they called it 'Vietnamization'. At 20:40 the same rhetoric from the politicians & the generals. $2.3 trillion (which the US doesn't have) & countless lives later the same result. There was a comment on another Youtube video about '1991's Desert Storm' land battle worth repeating here – 'The first 100 hours of the hundred years war'. This whole saga isn't over yet by a long way.

    Events like this in this world are unavoidable , and not because it's simply based off politics , government , land , and so on. It's because we live in a world where you get what you are given , and some are born into these environments , kids who spent only a few years of their life just to be blown up , almost as if some humans have had no purpose in their existence. Welcome to the world , it's cruel , it's direct , a simple change in perspective could open your mind to all of this , but we are all living different lives with different perceptions , some of you are too distracted , simply dont care , have adapted to the environment you're in and the privleges that come with it, some of us have no idea how bad it is in different countries , the world is the united states for some people.

    This is all basic information in my opinion.

    Chase after your dreams , and be grateful for what you have in this short visit. It's impossible to get rid of what this world offers naturally. – imperfection

    Is this channel related to War Stories in any way? Because I watched half of this last week from that channel. Seems like content is just being recycled for clicks/views. Weird.

    I hope you didn’t go back home to him.
    It saddens me to see Black Americans, whose ancestors endured slavery and brutal oppression, serving in the U.S. military and committing crimes by killing people on foreign soil. He looks at his own child with love, yet at the same time he has come to kill the fathers and brothers of children just like his own. It is disgusting when people commit such crimes. And the worst part is that such people seem to be in the majority.

    The truth is, a man with a hunting rifle terrorized the invading Marine battalion. There's no need to lie; we saw everything. Long live Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirates!

    베트남에서도 아프칸에서도 과연 미국이 전쟁에서 제대로 승리한 적이 있는가라는 물음을 스스로 해 보아야 한다. 전투와 전쟁을 구분하지 못하는 미국은 과연 전쟁 국가가 되었다. 전쟁이 없는 미국을 상상해 보라 ~~~

    This is the second channel this week that I seen upload this same exact documentary. I wonder if this documentary is public domain work or something because i don't see credits in the description

    I've heard Tony the tiger give more inspirational speeches than that BS at the beginning of this video… Afghanistan was an absolute waste. The ANA were never going to have the capability or the balls to control their country without outside help
