Breathing in the dark, lying on its side

The road starts the day, painted with a scar

And the more I speak now, the less it wants to try

The feeling starts to run, one way at a time

Oh, for anything we want, for what you stand and gain

Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

All right, let's go ahead and get into it here

It is Saturday, 12.06pm, it is August 28th, 2021

BK here coming at you guys from San Diego

Just one quick announcement, there may be no podcast next weekend

I might have something going on or I might try to do it on a Friday

I'm not quite sure yet so I'll keep you guys updated on that through those social media channels

So let's go ahead though and start and for the third week in a row of course we're going to start with Afghanistan

Where a suicide bomber in Kabul did kill hundreds of people

And that does include sadly 13 United States troops

And this was right outside Hamid Karzai airport just hours after multiple western governments had warned of an imminent Islamic state attack and told their people to stay away from the airport

So this attack struck it really the only area where you could kind of flee the country and get into the airport

And if you look at a map of it, you can see it's almost like just a like the perfect spot for a suicide bomber to hit to have maximum casualties

This is one of the biggest losses of the 20 year war of course for the United States forces
