toggle posted:no, the biggest screwup was going into afghanistan in the first place No, it was in ever rebelling against the rightful monarch King George IV. If we were still part of the empire, we would have whooped the Afghans well enough in the 19th century to do away with the needs of sending our poor and stupid over there today.

Cool NIN Shirt posted:Chinook sounds like a racial slur lol Chinook is actually an Athabaskan term for a warm wind during winter, it's named after a tribe which lives in an area where they're common.

Freestyle posted:" Also in dispute is the number of Taliban fighters involved in the ambush. In Luttrell’s original after-action report, he stated that he and his teammates were attacked by 20-35 insurgents, while his book places the number at over 200." they definitely were not; the whole reason they were there is to assassinate the commander of the local militia, and as someone else mentioned here, there has been footage recovered that was filmed by the militia in the aftermath of the fight. the number is definitely exaggerated in the book but they were vastly outnumbered at any rate. they were ambushed by a force that was, at the most conservative estimates, ten times their size, and on unfamiliar territory. cult_hero posted:No, it was in ever rebelling against the rightful monarch King George IV.
