His allusion to a JSAS arising from the ashes is a pretty clear reference to ISIS.  The Taliban, by comparison, predate the U.S. invasion by decades.  Hell, the U.S. supported them against Russia when Russia was trying to occupy Afghanistan.  For a real mind-trip, go watch Rambo 2 again sometime.  It&#x27;s surreal watching Sylvester Stallone play rugged, manly, ball-games with his heroic comrades: the Taliban (Yes, the film really does refer to them <i>specifically</i> as Taliban)!
