Edit to add :. Does it look like the Taliban are not targeting Americans to avoid more troops returning? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it getting cray cray yet? It's not as bad as the news makes it out to be but I'm used to a lot of forward operating jobs. Embassy is mostly evacuated already. @cole4544 The taliban are really trying to win over as a government power and aren't going around executing a bunch of civilians. |

Do you have access to rip its? If so will you destroy whatever stockpile you can't pack out to prevent it from falling into enemy hands? Same for tigers.

KBR/Dyn/Fl or real contractor? If none of those 3 and you are a real contractor is you bar still stocked?
The rest of my questions revolve around what kind of contractor you are. On base or off in the real world. |

As for putting up a fight... nobody is here anymore. And there's a silent agreement that when all the diplomatic agents and higher ups are gone the ROE's tend to be more in our favor. I actually prefer it this way. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is the general attitude among the locals? Same shit different flag or a little more apprehensive? The taliban doesn't act like ISIS or boko haram. They aren't going door to door, they are acting like 'freedom fighters' and trying to portray that they are on the side of the people. That's why cities fall so easily (like kandahar) |

Are you at the embassy? The airport? Gov contract or private sector? If civilian, what is .gov saying (mandatory evacuation, on your own, etc.)? When you say the embassy is mostly evacuated, what percentage is complete? What about other Americans and coalition nation civilians - NGO, journalists - are they bugging out or buttoning up?
Obviously I understand if there's any of those you can't answer ETA saw your answers above on your line of work. Embassy-based security work, I take it. |

Good, fucking capitol hill people fuck up everything if they're in the vicinity. Funny how quickly they change their minds though when shit is in their face and real.
