This looks and sounds like a Saturday night live sketch.

Who would have thought that people who only learned to shoot an kill other people instead of words and math would have problems in an office job? this is like politicians who after many years in opposition suddenly find themselves at the helm, and instead of just criticizing the failures of others have actually do something to make things better.

Terrorists are really motivated people though.

If they can't handle the grind, what hope do the rest of us have? 😏

They're not motivated though.

Being caught up in religious zeal or bloodlust or desperate struggles for survival are very different than being motivated all the time.

Kind of reminds me of the Rick and Morty episode with the night people. When they take over, they find out that being in charge sucks.

Who’d have thought trying to establish a global caliphate would have required learning Excel.

As awful and regressive as the Taliban is, they dont want a global caliphate. That whole schtick is ISIS's calling card and it means that since the US pulled out they're fighting each other.
