The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yup. The shooter worked for Trump's CIA before he was evacuated from the Taliban's grips (Trump's Camp David guests).

"The Zero Units were largely recruited, trained, equipped and overseen by the C.I.A... U.S. Special Operations forces working with the C.I.A. also provided the units with ground support and intelligence during their operations. Afghan officials said that their salaries were paid by the C.I.A.

In 2021, when the president of Afghanistan wanted the forces to defend Kandahar City against the advancing Taliban, he had to ask the C.I.A. for the units’ aid.

The units also had a reputation for ruthlessness, with journalists and human rights groups referring to them as “death squads.”...the strike forces were responsible for “extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances, indiscriminate airstrikes, attacks on medical facilities, and other violations of international humanitarian law.”


Extrajudicial killing, enforced disappearances, violations of international humanitarian law.......dayumn...that's actually an ideal Trump/Bessert/Homan/Vought/Miller/Hegseth/Noem kinda guy. Maybe they declined his application to ICE and the $50k bonus!

So what did they do to piss off the shooter?
