@wideawake123

i believe you are mistaken my friend--there are such thing as "moderate taliban".

for example, the old taliban used to beat women in the street if they were not covered up properly.

by comparison, the moderate taliban will still beat the woman who is not covered up properly, but they wont beat her as bad.

i know isn't great, that taliban is making strides and soon will be living by 8th centuy standards.

man this offensive isnt fair, the taliban are going to get destroyed.

@paulinotou And yet the Taliban and other resistance groups thrive and the war continues in a stalemate manner. We will never destroy the Taliban, we will have to negotiate with them.

@grimblebrumble17889 not really.

@25076755 Aaaa suck it dickcheese. In my country we all have to join the army for a year. I am no pro, but dont lecture me about holding a riffle. I know the hat has tradition, its just plain stupid looking. As stupid looking as the Red shirts that got the Brits dead in Africa and India, and the white hats.
