heywoodu 13,540 Posted March 27, 2021 Author #6588 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Ugh, the Dutch army had one seriously big battle since the Korea War and now, 14 years later, that's leading to court cases and such...in this case a Dutch lawyer who has money in her eyes and so decided to find some people who want to blame the army for the death of their family members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chora The situation was very simple at that moment. Tragic, but simple, there were two options: 1. Retreat. The result: Afghan military compound plus surrounding villages being overrun by the approaching Taliban force (which included foreign fighters as well), with most likely everyone in there being slaughtered. Srebrenica 2.0, followed by major control of the entire area by the Taliban. 2. Hold their ground and fight. Local villagers were warned as much as possible to leave the area, because a large Taliban force was on it's way and there would absolutely be heavy fighting. They went for option two, fought their asses off for days and managed to push back the Taliban and kill quite some of their leaders. Unfortunately civilians were also killed, which is what makes the defending force be seen as 'monsters' nowadays (luckily not by everyone). It's a tragic thing.

dcro 10,179 Posted March 28, 2021 #6589 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Sad to hear that the cancel culture started eyeing Ivan Meštrović's The Bowman and The Spearman (aka the Equestrian Indians) statues in Chicago. https://images.app.goo.gl/cQe7ho5AbQLjeEQj7 And that's in spite of nobody wanting to have it removed (least of all the Native American community of Chicago), as, objectivelly speaking, the statues show nothing but respect towards the Native American heritage. May as well remove it though, if the reward means feeding someone's superior morality complex... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
