Chris you're doing a great job. As a former Australian infantry, SF and Int soldier with 3 tours of AFG and 2 of Iraq, I'd like to make a couples of points. Firstly, when I first went to AFG my eldest son was 17. He's now 36, is a 16 year infantry veteran (with 2 tours of AFG) and has a family of his own. Personally, I say enough already. It's way past time to leave. My greatest fear was that my teenage grandson might end up in AFG. I think investing 2 generations of any one family is enough. Secondly, if idiots like Inhofe want the war to continue, let them invest 2 generations of their family first. Then he can speak.

Some examples of things you can cover... 1 - Reconnaissance Drones (especially platoon level ones) 2 - Attack Drones (especially kamikaze drones) 3 - Drone Defense (US Army is leading US response and has already selected a number of weapons including IM SHORAD) 4 - Armenia/Azerbaijan War (A recent conflict decided by Drones) That might get you 1 - 2 episodes out of Drones.

You summed it up very well.

Keep it up kappy. Your analysis on guns, gear, and tactics is very entertaining but I think you could find a niche for a kind of grass roots geopolitical analysis. I would recommened Peter zeihan, George Friedman, Ruchar Sharma, and Martin Jacques as some introductory reading into the field. Once you have the toehold into it try to look at historical conflicts and alliances to see what drives nations to conflict and cooperation and how remediation and breakdown occurs to try to decipher the why. Then you could reapply your practical understanding of (armed) geopolitics to the historical context of the wider field. Keep it up boot.

It’s very similar to south Vietnam. The local government had numerous opportunities to get a competent military presence to withstand threats to its sovereignty, yet they never managed to. When South Vietnam fell, it had a pathetic excuse for an army backed up by a tiny number of well disciplined comando units. I suspect the fall of northern Afghanistan will look very similar

I think a big point that you may have only covered briefly is faith in America. If after twenty years we abandon all these Afghans to the Taliban, who is gonna trust America to have their back? Whether that be allies in the Pacific or nato, A unilateral withdrawal is admitting defeat and reminiscent of Vietnam. Also there’s still about 20k Afghan interpreters still waiting for visas, Biden is leaving them to possibly die. (Good video btw and always fascinating topics.)

If we want to build a path forward an infrastructure plan funded and protected by a coalition of Afghan, Taliban and US forces could be a changing point.

There is book by Mary roach called grunt that about a science around military. Basically it focuses on non-combat science. Here chapter on medical science is very good and talks a lot about how it changed with the nature of insurgent warefare. One of the reasons the Russians have higher deaths is advances in medical technology and doctrine. Russian wounded amounted to c.35,000 while nato wounded are c.20,000. So a much higher percentage of Russian casualties were deaths.
