The Daily Mail reports that the Taliban’s Badri 313 Battalion recreated the famous World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. The Mail adds that the group was “sporting U.S. weapons and gear that was likely stolen from allied militaries during patrols of Kabul.”

We’re not sure if that photo of Taliban fighters enjoying soft-serve ice cream cones was meant to parody President Biden, but this image is going to stick with him for a long time.
Taliban is having fun making this administration their bitch.

Whoever is doing their PR is doing a bang up job. Humiliating.

MSNBC even played host to a Taliban spokesperson who said everything the West wants to hear.
Makes me sick. The whole thing. I’m disgusted with all we left to them. What a disaster.

I haven't looked into this to determine its authenticity…
But I'm a Marine.
Seeing this (honestly) puts me into a minor homicidal rage.

Both of my hands are scarred from turning jets to support both the Afghan and Iraq wars. Im furious and embarrassed. Im heartbroken for our soldiers that lost their lives and their families. This photo is sickening.
