I was an Army Intel analyst for Special Forces and military police sergeant and I have spent over 40 collective months in Afghanistan over my 23 years of service. My background taught me how this actually works. I LIVED in their country. I SAW how they move and operate when they already hold power, and I STUDIED how they take a country when they don't. I saw girls beaten with fists and sticks. Kicked. I saw girls faces disfigured from acid attacks because they DARED to want to learn and have an education. I saw little boys as young as 9 years old treated as sexual entertainment through the accepted practice of bacha bazi (Chai Boys). I saw many a 'Man Love Thursday'. TOO MANY. I saw a culture where a woman accusing a powerful man of sexual abuse WOULD face shame, punishment and very likely DEATH because a man's word carried more weight than hers. Little girls are married off, bought and sold like livestock. These girls do not get a choice. It's either do it or DIE. They are controlled and hidden away underneath a burka. Inside a compound. No rights. No voice. They are OWNED by men. Five years after the Taliban returned to power, this isn't ancient history. Girls are still barred from school. Women are still hidden, abused and powerless. The Taliban has issued more than 100 decrees restricting women and girls and made child marriage and forced marriage even harder to escape. This is what I saw with my own eyes time and time again all over that country. This is what I KNOW. And this is what I see right now IN MY OWN COUNTRY, unfolding before our very eyes......and its f*cking terrifying. When Muslims are not the majority, they play a VERY different game. They label you an Islamaphobe. They demand tolerance. They demand their own rules. They build mosques and preach a 'Death to America' message from INSIDE our own country and make us pay them for it with our own tax dollars. They shame you for noticing. Then the second they see a path to power, they get bold. They see that path in America right now. An IMAM in TEXAS just said it out loud......he said on camera, now that the state 'turned blue', it's their chance to TAKE OVER. That's why they're getting more brazen by the day. Next, they'll build more mosques with Americans' tax dollars. They'll keep infiltrating our government so they can fight us from the inside. And once that foothold is strong enough, they WILL start implementing Sharia law. I've already seen that ending. We HAVE to REJECT this and KICK THEM THE F*CK OUT!!! We owe it to our daughters and our sons not to let that shit live here. 🇺🇸🪖 Spread this message like our kids' lives depend on it because they 100% DO!!!! Below is one of the many schools we built that the Taliban seized after we left country. I'm the one in the middle. 5'2 but locked and loaded. And thanking GOD every day that I took a breath in that country that- 1. I had guns and bullets 2. That I was an American 3. That I had the full force of the United States military on my side Seeing this very same religion and culture that's destroyed so many other countries come to MY America is even scarier than seeing it there. This is OUR home. But it will be unrecognizable if we don't stand up and FIGHT against this with everything we have!
