[Afghan] - Sgt Nicole Gee of USMC died in the ISIS attack?

[UltimaOnline]

Just days before her death at an overcrowded airport checkpoint, Marine Sergeant Gee was photographed escorting a line of evacuees as they filed into the cargo hold of a C-17 Globemaster to escape Afghanistan. Other photos show Gee holding an Afghan baby.





Daily Mail article (below) features several of the US Marines who died in the ISIS suicide attack, including interviews with familly members, many of whom blame Joe Biden for the suicide attack which killed 13 US soldiers.

You go to someone's country, uninvited, carrying a weapon, bombing their villages and not expect to come back in a body bag?
They all deserve it.

Wrong. They went there to help the Afghani people who are victims of the Taliban. There have been cockups along the way by the leadership, but by & large the servicemen who died in the attack went there with their best intentions.

Their best intention is to flood the country with weapons and bomb half the place to dust.
You swallowed american bullshit hook, line and sinker.

Wrong. The Afghanistan situation is more complex than your anti-US oversimplification. Furthermore you don't care enough to make the effort to differentiate between the personal intentions of the servicemen themselves, differentiated from the goals & strategies (including cockups) of the US leadership in dealing with Afghanistan. More like you swallowed anti-american bullshit hook, line and sinker yourself.

Americans are a joke. They go and fight something they created. And lost.

That the US leadership and CIA created the Taliban and lost control of it is a separate matter here (not just because this was an ISIS attack). Rather, this (reading about Nicole Gee and the other USMC servicemen who died) is an opportunity for all decent folks reading about them to feel empathy, sympathy and compassion for the individual soldiers who lost their lives (not Joe Biden and the US leadership who have to bear responsibility for this mess).

Last week, the entire world was a witness to what unfolded in Afghanistan as we saw the US troops pull away from the country that left the citizens helpless and forlorn to face what was about to come their way.
As the world hung its head in shame, there was no sign of remorse in Washington. In a way, it was a coldhearted betrayal by the US that should have weighed heavily on its conscience. What happened in Afghanistan was a collective failure of generations of US Presidents, policy-makers, and military commanders that helped create this monster called the Taliban.

How about the innocent Afghan and Iraqi civilians who lost their lives through the years of American military intervention, in the name of saving them? Are their lives worthless? Why is it even worth any attention of some American soldiers who died in foreign land for helping its country kill people? Sorry if you carry out an evil mission ordered by your country, you should be prepared to come back in a body bag.

2 wrongs don't make a right. No life, whether Afghan, Iraqi or American, is worthless. It's oversimplistic to say their mission is "evil" (if they felt this way, most of them wouldn't have agreed to be deployed), even considering the cockups of the US leadership (including the Iraq war, etc) Tthese American soldiers who died were not sent to Afghanistan to kill helpless civilians (that would then be justifiably called an evil mission).

Anyway, you're entitled to your point of view (about evil US missions and Americans deserving to come back in a body bag). Just that it doesn't detract from my separate points made about empathy, sympathy & compassion (including for the many innocent Afganis who also died in the ISIS attack as well as Afghanis being oppressed by the Talliban from this point on; afterall feeling empathy, sympathy & compassion is not a zero sum game).

Oh I do differentiate.
Some are there for the money.
Some are there with bleeding hearts idealism.
Some are murderous psychopath making their dream killings in a legal environment.
Bottom line, none of them are there for good. Never have been anywhere else too

Take Nicole Gee for instance (she may not represent all the US soldiers that died, but for some of them at least), her last couple of days of her life, she was focused on helping, guiding and escorting Afganis (including children) desperate for a better life to evacuate Afghanistan via their US military planes. That counts for some good, don't you think?

Chiobu dead, wasted!

 

[knowwhatyouwantinlife]

So what if afgan disappears from the surface of the earth, like places like bhutan and Seychelles where most ppl dont even know exist...

 

[tobelightlight]

these 12 who die

Chiobu dead, wasted!

Ahhh. There are 12 dead and yet this thread only focus on ONE FEMALE who is relatively good looking. Boomers are at its self-denial mode of their aging and decreasing virality. It really takes boomers real true courage to face such adversity.

ps: ( by the way, there is another female who die too but wait, not good looking mah why talk about her)
