The only tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, “To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
For their own sakes the Taliban better be treating the hostages well.
I wonder what happened to all that “willing to die for Islam” talk they were doing last week. They sure as hell made tracks out of Kabul last night.

Didn’t the taliban say that “all their stupid, willing, young and dumb recruits were willing to die”?
I didn’t actually here the leaders of the taliban say they were willing to do anything except terrorize their country, subjigate the women, reduce the education system down to being able to count to 100 and read only a few passage from the Quran where it applied to the totalitarian goal of the Taliban.
There sure ran their asses off when faced with the bitter reality of the angry mob though eh?
hahahahahaha, go get them, go get them!
The world can do without their particular brand of corruption and evil. Destroy it.
Losing Kabul is no big strategic deal. They’re falling back to Kandahar which is where the focus of their power lies anyway. They’re not in a rout (more’s the pity) just falling back to a more defensible position.
For some of the Pakistanis that crossed the border to join the Taliban, I’m guessing that this seemed like a lot better idea when they were back in Pakistan than it does now.
They have only fallen back, they haven’t been beaten. This will become a long, drawn out guerilla war just like the Soviets got involved in. I wouldn’t be getting too confident.
