Frontline of fear: Afghan teen press-ganged by the Taliban

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hours after the Taliban overran his hometown in northern Afghanistan last week, 17-year-old Abdullah was forced to ferry rocket-propelled grenades up a nearby hill –- an unwilling and terrified insurgent recruit.

Abdullah said he was out on the streets of Kunduz when members of the Taliban stopped him.

The insurgents also snatched another 30 to 40 youth, some of them boys as young as 14, from outside a madrassa (Islamic school), he said.

"They asked us to take up arms and join their ranks," Abdullah said. "And when our parents came to ask for our release, they threatened them with weapons."

1. One more misery.

And it will infinitely worse as time goes on.

2. Between being a forced conscript or a forced boy-toy

They are screwed, figuratively and literally.

3. Hope everyone's ready for stories like this from now until 11/2022 from our intrepid M$M

many of which have obvious military contractor connections ... but that's a coincidence I'm sure.

And getting them to mention Biden that was executing the Trump/Taliban withdrawal truce from 2020 will be like pulling teeth.
