So now Trump wants the Taliban to “return” Bagram Air Base to the United States.
Some things don’t need commentary.

There must still be too many people demanding that the Guardians of Pedophiles release the Epstein Pedofiles.

I saw that on the wire yesterday. His nibs wants to stake US servicemen out, in an isolated base, in the middle of a hostile country? Doesn't he remember Khe Sanh?

Doesn't he remember Khe Sanh?
Was that rhetorical? Of course he doesn't remember. As he doesn't remember Dien Bien Phu.
He likely never knew in the first place.

I don't know how closely the US media covered Dien Bien Phu. That was in the mid 50s, and a French disaster, rather than USian.
I sure as heck remember the siege of Khe Sanh. It was on the news nearly every evening. I remember them showing film of how the base was resupplied: a Herc barely touching the runway, with the back door open, and a chute pulling the pallet of supplies out of the plane, then the Herc immediately grabbing altitude again. I said "cool!"
His nibs is seven years older than me. He must have heard about it.

Giving up that airstrip was El Estupido.

Which airstrip, surrounded by enemy territory, the one in Nam, or the one in Afghanistan? The bug out from Afghanistan was one of his nibs' "arty" deals. It was actually executed in a more planned manner, taking a couple months longer, than the "cut and run" that his nibs wanted.

Don't count on it. He has never shown any real interest in history. And remember...during the Viet Nam war he had his hands full trying to avoid sexually transmitted diseases. That's his idea of a funny brag.

Cadet Bonespurs expounding on his 'breaking news' with a string of lies and vague bulllshit about Bagram.
Settled "Aberbaijan", and Albania????
Here's a thought. Why doesn't his nibs demand the return of the bases at Cam Ranh Bay and Da Nang? They're closer to the Chinese border than "Aberbaijan" is to Albania (about 3000km).
But, when you are "his nibs", you dictate reality, right?
