They would rather that than be ruled by the Taliban, don't you think?

OK the evidence is pretty clear looks like spec ops due to the fact that not long after they land you seen a plain pick up truck being loaded with something and most of the plain clothes around it

Thanks for posting this, it gives one a glimpse of what it's like to be there.

The people are probably more annoyed with being oppressed, especially the Women and the summary judgements and executions carried out by the taliban.

I think alot of the civilian casualties that are helped and carried to hospital by these helicopters aren't annoyed by them.
