What a goddamn waste of time, blood and treasure. Absolutely and completely pointless in the end. I knew a guy in high school who went to Afghanistan and had his legs blown off above the knee. I wonder how he feels about this bullshit.
Everyone I knew that spent time over there including myself are livid. But I knew lost that war the second we went into Iraq as that was the moment the people played both sides knowing that they didn’t have out full attention. By 2011 it was clear the local were never going to step up. Because at that point “you all are here why do we need to?”.
