      The Pentagon has now fucked up two wars in a row and wasted trillions with no career consequences for failure, and not even much Congressional interest in what went wrong. The same pattern extends to prohibitively costly dead-end weapons programs. There's no way to fail at DoD

      We all made fun of Space Force, but now there's an entire new branch of our military, and as the bureaucratic lava cools it will become impossible to eliminate. Whatever you think about the project of American empire, the chief tool of US foreign policy is rotting from within

      In the wars America won, a recurring pattern was early and aggressive demotion of incompetent high command, as well as thorough Congressional oversight. But somehow after Korea the military got so good at staffing that no one needs to be fired or second-guessed anymore

      The fact that the Pentagon either lied to itself or lied to Congress for twenty years deserves more attention from our legislators (who just sent themselves on vacation)

      To put it another way, we could have given the Taliban billions of dollars and a fleet of American military hardware in October 2001 to get the same outcome we bought with 20 years of war. This is not a time to close ranks and heal, but a time to investigate the hell out of DoD

          Strategically we should have kept the Bagram air base and not abandoned it in the middle of the night. If we ever go to war with Iran and/or China, that would be a MASSIVE asset. This is amateur hour.

          I haven't noticed China invading Iraq Iran Afghanistan or Vietnam of late. They also do pay for the minerals they get from other countries rather than install puppet governments.

          It was conducted exactly as intended. That annual $500 billion wealth transfer from working & middle class americans to the defense contractor owning upper class in the form of war budgets was hardly a failure, if you managed to get a piece of it.

          Would you have disrupted half a generation of women living outside of medievel apartheid? Imagine if that had been a full generation, or two. Begone nearly- tankie.

          What did the founding fathers write about the military? Is anyone still able to understand what they wrote about 240 years ago?

          Don't forget the folks at State and elsewhere who insisted we work with Pakistan. They own this catastrophe more than anybody.

          Ah nah. Time to close ranks and heal. Send every one of our suffering billionaires another ten billion to relieve their pain so their spending will grow the economy. Now let me check out now with this ten pound bag of Idaho potatoes grown in China and bagged in Vietnam OK.

          It's probably because Congress simply doesn't have the political capital to go after top military brass anymore. The military is the most popular institution in America after "small business". And Congress is the least after... everything.https://news.gallup.com/poll/352316/americans-confidence-major-institutions-dips.aspx …

          Why isn't the freedom that Afghans enjoyed, the girls who could go to school, an "outcome"? Why does something have to be permanent in order to be valuable? Nothing is permanent.
