  2. Leo: it's wild they're just rebranding instead of completely overhauling their image
  3. Cobalt Warden: who gave them access to that arsenal?
  4. Lena: I thought we were out of Afghanistan 20 years ago, not revisiting the '70s
  5. Mirage Talon: This is one long, complicated history lesson I never asked for
  6. Lucasp: this is what we don't talk enough about after wars - how the losers get to keep our gear and equipment
  7. Static Rune: the fact that they're using our gear doesn't exactly feel like a gesture of goodwill
  8. Fathom Mantis: you'd think the price of 'freedom' would come with some accountability
  9. Felix: patrolling Kabul in American armor feels like a bad joke on a lot of levels
  10. Milan: this is what i've been thinking about - does us influence really change things?
  11. Leo: So now the US is arming the enemy? Since when does counter-insurgency involve letting your opponents drive around in your own trucks and shoot from your own guns?
