National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[Kraut783]

I'm sure he expected the US to monetarily support him forever....."I have to work now?"

From dealing with some of the Afghan refugees, they expected to be supported forever...not just six months.

Update:

Afghan national charged in Guard ambush shooting drove across US to carry out attack, officials say

So, lemme just see if I’m clocking this correctly.

A guy that worked with the US (CIA) for years, with ample opportunity to kill Americans downrange, bides his time.

He gets to America, moves to Washington state, overstays his visa, applies for asylum, and then- for no apparent reason- he gets a revolver and drives 3k miles (he lives within 1 hour of like 6 military installations in an area chock full of soft military targets and strict gun laws) to Washington DC to carry out a low level lone wolf attack.

Hours before the attack happened, google search traffic jumped for his specific name.

Oh. Ok.

Suspect who shot National Guard soldiers in DC worked with CIA in Afghanistan

"The father-of-five had been recruited to Unit 03 of the Kandahar Strike Force nine years earlier. His unit was known locally as Scorpion Forces, operating initially under the CIA but eventually for the Afghan intelligence department known as the National Directorate of Security."

Remember how all these folks STANNed to bring these dudes over because they loyally served us even though it put their life on the line supposedly? No, that is mostly ballshoi. They took the job because it PAID. And then most of them switched sides and started shooting at us when it got convenient. These were not like the Hmong in Vietnam. Same with the Iraqi terps. These people will never integrate and they DO NOT want to be American. They just don't want to be in the shithole. We are so stupid.

You say this via personal experience? Genuinely curious.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Afghan resettlement program was spearheaded by DOS, bureau and agency had huge issues with it.....but, pretty much ignored.

Question, why do I need personal experience? There have been many high profile cases involving Afghans committing crimes. To directly answer, experience with Afghans in Afghanistan is zero.

Two examples below:

Afghan National Sentenced to Serve 15 Years in Federal Prison After Plotting Election Day Terror Attack in the United States.

Different guy from above.
Afghan National Pleads Guilty to Plotting Election Day Terror Attack in the United States

ICE arrests Afghani national convicted of assault in Maryland.

The reality is we have a culture, but we should only be admitting people who want to assimilate and be a part of that culture. I'm able to read the newspapers and develop mine own opinions about a situation that our leaders put us in.

I'm certain there were many who needed to get out, but there are just many who have no desire to be American.

I read through your links, and none of the people you mentioned seem to have worked with the U.S. government in Afghanistan. I’ve read posts here with the opposite of your take, so I’m just trying to understand where you’re coming from. It’d be a lot more interesting if you had a personal story that fueled your post.

Truthfully I don’t even care that much, but when you generalize as you did, it’s reasonable to ask what makes you say that.

His experience with NSOCC-A is absolutely zero, but a couple of news articles apparently validate his opinion and position on the matter.

 

[Kraut783]

I will say, the Afghan resettlement program was good at first...concentrating on persons who worked for US. Then, it turned into a free for all...lots of persons who never worked for US forces or companies were passed for resettlement, all you needed was the App...vetting turned into a joke...

It just got out of hand...

And...for what it's worth...I spent a month in Kosovo in 2023 doing vetting. It was frustrating.

But, Camp Bondsteel was cool...always wanted to go there on a Army tour for the whole Serbia stuff.

 

[Kraut783]

And just to add....Kosovo is beautiful, and very inexpensive, people are very pro-American...they remember how the US and NATO stopped the genocides.

My personal story is that I'm from recent enough immigrant stock where I witnessed full assimilation. Many of us on this board have families with humble beginnings. But my grandfather didn't learn English until High School, then he served in Korea. The main language at their table was English, but when things don't translate my father would rattle off in Spanish and the conversation would continue in Spanish for awhile and then they would switch. My grandfather was very proud of being an American, was he proud of being Mexican? That I don't know because he died when I was 11 and we never got to have a deep relationship. BUT, the point is I've seen what full assimilation is. It doesn't mean giving up your culture either.

I just remember sitting at his table during the INS raids of the 90s, "just make sure they deport the Irish ones too."

There's no reason to think anything more than this guy fought on our side years ago, became radicalized, and decided to take a shot at the NG in DC because he felt it was a more symbolic target than any other place.

This guy was trained in CQB as well as many SOF were, and did as many raids and HVT takedowns as most anybody else. I for one am glad he didn't obtain heavier weapons and do more damage than he did.

Wait, Blue on Blue violence that killed dozens of Americans was so pervasive commanders created their own ad hoc PSD's to protect them and their troops. So frequent it was often reported on in numerous mainstream sources, to say nothing of folks like us. People find it shocking Afghans would come to this country and want to kill us?

Anyone who is shocked or surprised? Shut the fuck up, moron.

I think this country would like to do anything but learn from that war. Anything.

You don’t need much—any—training to walk and ambush someone in a crowd. Just sayin’.

Look at the difference between this attack and the soldier who killed 5 cops in Dallas back in 2016. I rest my case.
