American Forces Are Getting a Frosty Reception in Afghanistan (2008) 

It’s all so simple, as the Taliban said “ They haved the watches, but we have the time” All empires fail in Afghanistan

If foreign troops came to my house and broke my doors and stole various pieces of my property, my heart and mind would be so won. Especially if they called me a liar for not claiming an inert piece of broken metal was some kind of weapon.

I wouldn't be a happy with a foreigner searching my property and taking my guns and saw blades.

How can you talk about freedom, turn around and take the freedom of the second amendment right away from them, and expect them to welcome you with open arms and love?

In the US you would find 10 weapons in every home and the US has never been invaded. Unless you count the southern border.

Beautiful afghan landscape

20 years of American work undone in 20 days

So you destroyed some things and didn’t find anything and didn’t fix what you broke. Then you wonder why they don’t like you.

Nothing says "American freedom" like random home searches to confiscate firearms.

4 soldiers of armerca 4 automatic weapons of mass murder in their hands taking a broken pistol from a poor shepherds home just think about that

13 years have passed, the last military guy spoke of a victory, has the u.s. won yet?

Happy to see the most powerful army in the world escaping like rats from Afghanistan.

I love how he repeatedly calls it "the business".

Well done confiscate somones only weapon in a lawless area. Who tf are you .

For Afghans Freedom means you are gone.

I'm watching in these days when Americans sign a deal to leave Afghanistan.

i have a weapon at home this is a very common thing in pathan houses

IED's are not a form of attack, they are a form of defense

This is the 21st Century Vietnam Version ! Using all Hi tech weapons including F22 fighter jets but they cant beat the Tali🥵🤪🥱 when these Nomads live in the Mountains & Caves ever since ? 🥶

God bless the people of Afghanistan

Barges into peoples house and then says the taliban are the bad guys sounds familiar to what the soviets did

Freedom my ass ☺

Really did not belong there, it's their nation, their right to govern as they see fit.

That pistol was definitely for self defense

And they didn't even protect precious oil fields - sad to see soldiers in missions without any chance of accomplishing something terrorizing the local people

Why cant they have weapons i think it isnt illegal

So they really have no idea who is the enemy and who is not… Why are they even there?

This shows why these cowards lost. They only harass old women and children.

Old man been fighting agaisnt foreign occupiers simce God know when.

There’s more reenlistment’s “in country” (Afghanistan & Iraq) mostly because the bonuses their handing out with reenlistment’s are none taxable because of being outside the US. I know this because I almost re-enlisted in Iraq back in my day.

Never thrust U.S and specialy NOT any armed forces from U.S....i stand by the Afghan people i understund them and that U.s should leave Afghanistan...have any american ask them self if this was U.S how they would feal about foregin invaders? they would never agree to that so why should the rest of the world do that? Many countrys that U.S are station in want them out..There must be an end of U.S Big brother involvment and belive they control,and rule over the world...and many countrys they left they left weapon that destroy people stil and new born babys,,,do they care? No its allways other country that have to clean up there mess....

After spending some time in Afghanistan I've come to know their are only a handful of honest hard working people and bunch of Taliban or people who support the Taliban either as fighters or in their way of thinking.

When he says freedom with the way he's saying it, it makes it like he's shopping it from Walmart.

The translater is athenic tajik not afghan and translating wrong and misleading American,

And atlast they had to leave 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You hear that people? It’s a business. Going to other countries and destroying peoples lives is a business.

Compare and contrast the Afghan army response to their freedom being threatened, versus how Ukraine responded. Very different people and we should never have gone there.

MUH SECOND AMENDMENT

Resisting a foreign occupation of your country is bad 😂

That bloke at the end has seen some shit. I think he would break if he stopped believing his rhetoric.

21:00 this is the kind of talk which we really like. This kind of talk ruined the situation for everyone somehow. It seems there's infrastructure and legalities missing to execute in a very western manner, for most of them. I think the takeway is "we never knew where we went or why, and had little to no business there". The region at large does not do "national socialism" because the logical / logistical unit of nation doesn't relate to them the same way, and soldiers are trained to fight between nation state actors. Funky, economically, to regularly patrol remote mountain villages with a herd of armed men!

Am sure in would be arm to the teeth if I lived in such a place talk about the Wild West this is a dangerous place to grow up

Damn this is old!

The Lt. Col. Talks about an aspect that almost seems to be a stereotype of American Warfighter. He thinks because the US defines itself so much through "muh freedom" and talkes about it all day long, that this is the key Aspect the US soldiers need to bring to their Afghan Citizens. I don't think they care to much about freedom, Cultures seam to be stable without the American definition of it. E.g. Europe or China.

Odd how they don't have skiis.

Who is here after US withdrawal in Vietnam style

But it is normal for them to have weapons in a history. But it's broken?maybe they are tibans weapons.?

By the way, they were free before you got there. They were freely having what they wanted in their homes. You come and knock down their doors and don’t even fix them at all. I’d do the same thing they do. The taliban isn’t talking away their protection.

Freedom has no boundaries

I watch this to learn but I can't hear what the people ars saying because some dope added noise over the speech. By by.

😂😂😂😂

My strategy would be to flatten Northern Pakistan where they seem to just move across any time they want, to get their guns at the market there provisions, protection and up to date information from the Pakistani government who at the highest level of “intelligence” and didn’t know Osama was living there….. It’s a repeat of Vietnam, they just moved down south cross crossing borders as they wished..

What did American soildier did in 15 years of war any help rebuild or finish fight the Taliban regime, or just distribution of the country's what was left

Lol to be fair though who dosnt have guns and weapons in a country like Afghanistan? It's not surprising they came upon a cache really if u think think about it. It's like as if a military force raided a house in America and found some guns, so what? Don't mean much necessarily. Maybe he is a member of an enemy group or maybe he's just a non hostile but armed up guy like a farmer who has profitable crops to protect or a villager who own some arms for self defense of his village. It's like that sometimes,so everybody has them. Afghanistan is flooded with weapons,it's not hard to find rifles from the British imperial empire era and even older flintstocks and the most common is the Soviet type of arms. If You were a man and also had a family in Afghanistan you'd definitely want to get a gun. Half or more of the adult male population owns some type of weaponry. Especially it been a rough and poor, lawless country. Which man wouldn't buy an AK-47 and maybe even some RPGs if they lived over there. Afghanistan is also a tribal society with different ethnic tribes fighting each other, as rivals and disputes over land,money and power. He could be Taliban but he could also be some average citizen there, the U.S. army also has a lot of Afghan militiamen as their allies. Every guy has a beard and turban over there not just the Taliban. It's not just the Taliban who look that way. But the British couldn't conquer it all as they tried and would've like too, neither the Soviet Union a superpower also in its heyday like the British imperial empire, and the world's only true superpower in the 21st century,the USA,failed to tame and subdue the entire rugged, harsh,but naturally beautiful historic lands of Afghanistan. I think the vast empire , a superpower also in its day, the empire of Alexander the Great,also had trouble conquering all of Afghanistan,had trouble defeating the hostile locals there too. I think it's safe to say no country is going to bother fur a very long time to try and subdue,control all of Afghanistan by military force and invading occupying it for a long period. Afghanistan is a strategic important located country and is rich in vast mineral wealth and precious metals and gems under the surface, so much untapped potential, but lack of investment will hinder progress and prosperity. Apparently over trillion $ worth under its soil. If only the various Afghan factions and tribes can come together, put aside differences and focus on their shared future of peace and prosperity,build up the nation. What a shame and waste.

Taliban won

Getting right treatment from afghanis for ur doings...

#WasNotLying #NHW

Thank you very much army america

The US forces winded up as loosers at the end of the fight as usual. Why they always win in movies 🎬? 🥱....Pathetic.
