  I’d you’re not going to link any info at all, why do you keep replying? I’m literally asking and everyone just downvotes me like I kicked their dog rather than proving any source.

    Here I guess then: en.wikipedia.org/…/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001–2021)

    Real weird for you to not know about the whole Iraq/Afghanistan debacle, that’s like not knowing about Vietnam.

        No, you asked for a source, read it.

    If you want me to link you a source on a claim, tell me what specific claim. Otherwise I have no idea what information you’re looking for.

      Your claim maybe? Explain why and where you got this information. If it’s your opinion, that’s fine. I’m trying to learn here and everyone’s pulling trumper cards with “do your own research” bullshit.

      Put up or shut up.

        You don’t understand how sources work. Let me break this down for you.

        That troops are imperialist killers-for-hire is my conclusion drawn from historical facts. Those historical facts include that they went abroad to occupy a country for decades in a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of people.

        If you’re disputing those facts, tell me what you’re disputing and I will happily supply a source for it. If you agree with those facts, then no source is needed. If you agree with those facts but still disagree with my conclusions, then you must disagree with my logic and reasoning, which doesn’t need a source.

        If you don’t understand my reasoning, then I’m happy to explain it, but I think it’s pretty straightforward. They are hired to kill people, so they are killers-for-hire.

        If you understand my reasoning but still disagree with my conclusion, then you can challenge some specific part of said reasoning.

        That is how reasoning and debate works. You don’t just point wildly at whatever someone says and demand a source. If you’re asking for a source, it means that you disagree with some specific fact underlying the chain of reasoning.
