More pathetic flailing.

Which is especially pathetic because soap box said he believes Luttrell lied.

Proof he lied. Wiki is not proof. Some guy said something, is not proof.

In other words, you won’t accept any amount of evidence because you lack the spine to face up to it.

Right. How are we going to find anything else here on DP and what would that proof look like?
 
So

I will accept proof. Not wiki or hearsay.

Yes. Show me me objective proof besides hearsay.

It’s an objective fact that not a single source places Taliban strength in the region at anywhere near the over 200 Luttrell claims.

It’s an objective fact that the Afghan villager who was there says Luttrell’s claims are garbage.

Wait a minute. The answer to my question would have shown some basis for these posts. I was asking what was believable to you, and what you think proof is.

You've spent a week repeating the same thing and it's only splitting a philosophically thin hair. How do we know when we can be certain.

"Luttrell’s claimed that his teammates killed 50 or more of Shah’s men. U.S. Army Ranger Nicholas Moore was on the team that spent two weeks combing the battlefield, searching for the bodies of Luttrell’s teammates. Moore wrote in his 2018 book, Run to the Sound of the Guns, that they found no Afghan bodies and no forensic evidence of a large-scale fight. Moore says they did find a lot of 7.62mm shells expended by the AK-47s the Afghans used but “only a handful” of the 5.56mm casings fired by the SEALs."

Luttrell's version doesn't match the forensic evidence on the ground. That would be admitted as evidence in a court of law. Asking if it is proof now becomes an abstract philosophical question.

Running from what soapbox pointed out I see.

None of the established facts support Luttrell’s claims. He lied. Whining can’t change that reality.

You cited wiki and got laughed at 😂

You squealed in fear when confronted with the fact Luttrell lied, and flailed hopelessly as more and more evidence showing he lied was presented.

Repeating the same drivel over and over because you lack the spine to acknowledge the facts doesn’t change them.

Here is what you wrote to another poster: "You are clearly unaware (probably deliberately), that illegal border incursions fell under Biden, but rose under Trump. Why does this need constant repetition-or is your memory that short?"

Whether or not you believe Trump lied may be relevant to interaction with others, but my objection is that extreme mischaracterization. Moreover, the chart you subsequently provided shows how bad that mischaracterization is...

First, there were periods of rising and falling from BOTH ends to Trump's and then Biden's administration. Hence, your statement is logically false.

Second, "border incursions (encounters) as measure in both numbers and averages were far less for Trump than under Biden. And whereas Trump worked aggressively (often around obstructionist courts) to promptly discourage these illegals and it quickly tailed off, Biden not only refused to pursue aggressive policies he actually encouraged it by his parole of asylum applicants into the US. Only after years of attempts to snow the American people and falling polls did Biden begin to toughen up and use the powers, he always denied he had to discourage the human waves.

Your cited chart verity's this:
