https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1421845116814168069?s=19 It is real frustrating that we have three good vaccines that take it from hospitalization to home with the flu/cold and we still aren't getting people to get the shot. The fact it is taking private companies to mandate the shot or lose your job is the only way forward

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:lmao that Sergeant Major of the Afghan Army that I met will never see his dream fulfilled of running a McDonald's in Afghanistan. In the mid-2010s during NATO staff training in Poland before going in-country, they had an Afghan General talking about how he wanted all of us to come visit Afghanistan with our families in the next 5-10 years. The group I was with were mobilized Navy reservists of intel (me and a few others) and PAOs, we all looked at each other and tried to stifle a laugh in the large auditorium filled with alliance folks. I assume that someone that high up and being able to go out of the country to talk at a training had a plan for his family when things when sideways. Edit: https://twitter.com/idreesali114/status/1426737819905662978?s=20 With J-bad down, not much left. I think it is a safe bet that the Taliban will let the US/NATO/Third Country Partners leave and then move on Kabul Nick Soapdish fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 15, 2021 |

facialimpediment posted:There was a fair bit of "well... they didn't fight!" gaslighting, along with "well... a lot of the interpreters didn't want to leave!" nonsense. Also a lot of conflating the decision (getting out) with the how to do it (the current clusterfuck). But some news is something I hadn't heard - looks like Ghani was feeding the administration a load of bullshit, making the admin think they had more time, while also pulling poo poo like this: “When I hosted President Ghani and Chairman Abdullah, at the White House in June, and again when I spoke by phone to Ghani in July, we had very frank conversations. We talked about how Afghanistan should prepare to fight their civil wars after the US military departed, to clean up the corruption in government, so the government could function for the Afghan people,” Biden said. He continued, “We talked extensively about the need for Afghan leaders to unite politically — they failed to do any of that. I also urged them to engage in diplomacy, to seek a political settlement with the Taliban. This advice was flatly refused. Mr. Ghani insisted that the Afghan forces would fight. And obviously he was wrong.” I don't blame any rank-and-file ANA/ANP soldier for cutting a deal with the local commanders and going home
