Seeking forgiveness from the Taliban
Summary
Host Bill Roggio and guest Will Selber critique Thomas Gibbons-Neff’s New York Times article, in which the former Marine sought absolution from a Taliban commander he fought in Afghanistan. They argue Neff’s approach is naive and biased, ignoring the Taliban’s brutal human rights record and the original justification for the US invasion. The discussion highlights the failure of military leadership to take accountability while condemning the media’s tendency to whitewash the Taliban.
