SteveHOST
Uh, a, a great story.
SteveHOST
I was in Bagram, Afghanistan, and, um, I saw these prisoners.
SteveHOST
They were right next door to our headquarters.
SteveHOST
I was there visiting s- troops and getting ready to go out to some FOBs, forward operating bases, and things like that, but I saw these guys chained together.
Ted RallHOST
Right.
Ted RallHOST
Now, when you see the way that American troops are outfitted, as I have seen at a couple of bases, including Bagram in Afghanistan during the US occupation, It's like, oh, you guys, speaking of, I mean, it almost makes me climb into bed with cute Pete Hegseth.
Ted RallHOST
I mean, it's like, I mean, it's ridiculous.
Ted RallHOST
They had like Starbucks and like Citibank ATM machine.
Trent McDonaldGUEST
I'm sorry, not Kandahar.
Trent McDonaldGUEST
Bagram Airfield.
Brent TuckerHOST
Bagram, yep.
Trent McDonaldGUEST
It's a pretty big airfield.
Trent McDonaldGUEST
Um, you're pretty much gonna be pulling tower guard, um, on the camp.
speaker_0HOST
And then where did you guys go in Afghanistan? We
Alberto LlavonaGUEST
were based out of Kanahar in Bagram.
speaker_0HOST
Expedia.
speaker_0HOST
I was
Alberto LlavonaGUEST
mostly in Bagram.
Alberto LlavonaGUEST
Expedia out of Bagram.
Alberto LlavonaGUEST
I know that place very
speaker_0HOST
well.
Zachary BellGUEST
because we were there to stop a power vacuum to being created.
Zachary BellGUEST
We should have kept a base in the north, one in Kandahar, and then one in the north, I think around Bagram probably would have been a good spot off the top of my head.
Zachary BellGUEST
I don't really know that area that well.
Zachary BellGUEST
But, I mean, Tyler Vargas Andrews, who was on Sean Ryan, who's a very good friend of ours.
Jamarl ThomasHOST
Right.
Ted RallHOST
Now, when you see the way that American troops are outfitted, as I have seen at a couple of bases, including Bagram in Afghanistan during the U.S. occupation, it's like, oh, you guys, speaking of, I mean, it almost makes me climb into bed with cute Pete Hegseth.
Ted RallHOST
I mean, it's like...
Ted RallHOST
I mean, it's ridiculous.
John OndrasikGUEST
Similar to his comment about, you know, Putin will take Ukraine in a week.
John OndrasikGUEST
But I think the worst thing about it was we abandoned Bagram.
John OndrasikGUEST
The fact that we abandoned Bagram, which basically was basically a way we could keep our toe in that water and frankly, inhibit the Taliban from taking the country, that was a complete disgrace.
John OndrasikGUEST
And Trump would never have done that because, first of all, Trump's never going to abandon Americans in any country because he doesn't want that headline.
John OndrasikGUEST
And he's not foolish enough to abandon Bagram.
John OndrasikGUEST
So, again, we could talk for hours about Afghanistan.
John OndrasikGUEST
You know, I made that video.
Lara LoganHOST
So, in fact, this is funny, Gary.
Lara LoganHOST
When your teams were operating and calling in airstrikes and operating from the base right there at Bagram Air Base, when General Babajan was in charge, I had an agreement with him that I would not report anything.
Lara LoganHOST
that there were any Americans there.
Lara LoganHOST
And I never broke my word, but I did sometimes.
Gary BerntsenGUEST
The rest of the roofs had been blown off them.
Lara LoganHOST
Yes.
Gary BerntsenGUEST
Bagram was it was completely destroyed.
Gary BerntsenGUEST
And then Jim Dobbins, the ambassador, flew in there and met with the S.F. teams.
speaker_12SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
don't know where.
speaker_12SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Setting the tone for deployments to come, because we were essentially the first ones to be in Afghanistan, to be in Kabul, to be in Bagram, right, in the airfield.
speaker_12SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We trained
speaker_13SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
and trained and trained and trained every single day, just in the offshoot that something might come down to where we leave from there.
Roderick FontenetteGUEST
And sometimes that's further back.
Roderick FontenetteGUEST
When we was in Afghanistan, that was like Bagram.
Roderick FontenetteGUEST
Right.
Roderick FontenetteGUEST
And so but that takes a while to get them to that area.
