sounds like these guard guys were there to actually get in a fight and not hit and bounce out after the first 5 minutes.
Public toilets?

The Kurds used homemade 2 inch pvc rockets set with timer to go off in 45 second intervals. They would have 100+ rockets prepped.
While rockets were hitting the north side of an ISIS village, and they sent fighters out to attack the automated array, leaving the Kurds to attack from the south.
It was actually comical and worked every Damn time.
I read this book back in school called The Rise of ISIS. I remember it talking about how a lot of the leftovers from Saddams regime formed a group called ISI Islamic State in Iraq, I can't really remember the details so I am prob fucked off somewhere on my thinking but after the Arab spring in 2011 ISIL was formed off the bat as well as ISIS. What they are now I don't know
And that the Taliban hated ISIS so much cus they were a bunch of crazy fuckers they would help SF out with safe routes and tracking them down in some instances. Thought that was interesting
Talib had become more accepting of ISIS there toward the end of their run but the Taliban are a pretty unique group who typically only give a fuck about Afghanistan and Pakistan . They’re not interested in foreign wars more like a militia
Problem with the Taliban was usually just extreme shariah law being implemented across the country that varied from tribe to tribe and Village. Just like all nations, people in power tend to abuse it, not follow their own rules, and expand their own wealth. Taliban and their judges had a habit of becoming warlord like over their regions and committing crimes against their own people. Judging harshly.
This is from my military experience as well and I am definitely no scholar just what I was taught and saw first hand and heard from the locals being over in those places
oh absolutely they are all fucked. Taliban is just one small step down from ISIS. But then again its a different world there. A world that I am glad I wasn't born into.
I have a weird opinion on the Taliban that borders on understanding, mutual respect during combat, and the indifference in killing them
It’s like i understand why they’re fighting against my presence being there, but they’re still some murdering bastards that can get killed.
one thing is for sure. Taliban fight 20 times better, and harder than any Iraqi insurgent I engaged.
gunfights with the Taliban absolutely required using battle drills because they were using them against you.
L shaped ambushes, complex and near ambushes, clearing objectives. Aside from all the pressure plate IEDs where I was 75% of my entire deployment was small arms fire and usually within 100 meter engagements. And during fighting season it was a gunfight almost everyday for several months straight. Then it slowed down to 3-4 gunfights a week until harvest time

If you think of it solely on principle or patriotism they just see a foreign force coming into their backyard telling them how things are gonna go now. Not surprising that they have organized militias that want to fight that. But add the lack of education and money with cultural differences and drug lords ruling the land with radicalized ideology creates a recipe for disaster. They are all pretty much just fucked forever.
a gunfight to them is like going out for a few drinks over here
Yeah bro I’ve had 65 year old Afghanis straight up engage my squad with a belt fed by themselves and literally shoot it out with us until we killed him. Bananas
@Toothpick what you doing here!? Don’t tell
Me you’re banned on the other side too?

I would do the same if we had an invading force, I owned a beltfed, and I lived to 65. Difference is there was a couple hundred thousand of them. Millions of me and you.
wow thats fucking nuts. he's looking down on us now tho with his 11 virgins laughing tho right??
No lol... but I'm tired of the same old rants and shit there. Iz a gud boi.
Yep that’s why I never really hated the Taliban beyond the actual moments I was fighting them, for obvious reasons like my life lol other then that I’ve always been kinda meh about em. I get it, but you’re gonna die type mentality towards them
