From Not the Bee:
I know the world is going to heck, but you have to stop once in awhile and appreciate the hilarious absurdity around us:
Yep, after riding bumper cars and the merry-go-round, the terrorist jihadis wanted a water outing (with men only, of course).
I love how the reporter had to assure people that these photos are real.
I can’t blame him. If you had showed me this just 2 years ago, I would have called it an impressive photoshop… but the 2021 version of me knows better.
Look at these guys having the time of their lives:
I count at least two rifles (one guy in the boat on the left might be holding one as well).
The next photo is even better. You’ve got four guys packed in a little yellow duck/swan boat, two of them have what appear to be AKs, and one is hoisting a RPG launcher on his shoulder!
Look at him up there, like Captain Jack Sparrow hanging off the bow of his ship, looking to the horizon for the next adventure (or a Predator drone)!
This guy in the background also has a rifle:
This whole thing happened at Band-e Amir National Park in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday.
A few more photos:
Go here to read the rest. Remember this is from Not the Bee, the strictly factual branch of The Babylon Bee. These are the loons who beat the US military in the longest war this country has ever waged. It is a lunatic world and it becoming more lunatic with every passing second. If this country does not get its act together soon the lunacy will engulf us all, and any humor will elude us.
This is not by accident.
These photos were taken as part of a re-branding of the Taliban.
Taliban lite.
A Huston image consultant team got the nod, along with their first installment of 23 million bucks, to reshape the poor image and misunderstood Tally Ban.
This new brand is kinder and softer.
Post war Taliban welcomes everyone and promises to only set adulterous women on fire in a designated area. Not in a public street or square.
This is THE NEW TALIBAN.
Joe is on board. He had the National Security council open up classified information to the Taliban as a gesture of good will. Biden is committed to making the Taliban Great Again. That’s our President.
As he said recently; “Tornadoes are uh ..well they were the deal..um, and it’s best to eat them with toast and uhh..oh what…what did they want me to say?”
I don’t think they are loons or part of a re-branding operation. They are just having a good time. Don’t you think American soldiers would have done exactly the same after living in caves for a long time if there were no officers around to spoil the fun?
Sometimes, a photo of a soldier mucking around is just a photo of a soldier mucking around.
They aren’t soldiers of any type. They are a collection of murderers, terrorists, as their actions since their seizure of the country demonstrate. If the pictures have any purpose, they demonstrate the Taliban can do whatever they wish with everything, and everyone, in conquered Afghanistan.
Sorry, no offense intended.
No, Bruno, you are a valued commenter here. I never confuse honest disagreement with offense. Debate is what this blog is all about!
It’s just another middle finger to the US. They may well have been having fun, but the result is even more derision aimed at the US Military which will only embolden our enemies all the more.
That’s a deep insult to all military allies who gave their life trying to fix up that basket-case of a country. And all those Afghanistan people right now trying to flee to save their lives.
