    Message from someone who served in Afghanistan during the deadliest period of the war (2010). Hopefully in the New Year, something will finally change.pic.twitter.com/R76rAQio1w

        Wars are no longer designed to be won or ended. They exist to launder money from taxpayers & future generations through the military industrial complex, magically transforming it into 'clean' stock market returns. Some people die in wars, some get rich & most just wave the flag.

        Trump appears to be going it alone. He needs public support. Call the White House.

        This was very moving! :.( I’m sure my cousin would agree on “no ‘progress.’” It’s just sober reality. I went to a talk recently of someone high-up in Afgh foreign policy / reconstruction. Talk has been on withdrawal for 20yrs but US has not put much stock in negotiating peace.

        Pak official apparently laughed about putting pressure on Taliban. A resurgent group has no need to negotiate something. Even so, the temptation to forge deals among “guys with guns” is not sustainable. You need to do political engagement with people. Accountability for losses.

        When a stated purpose is not producing the intended effect and yet there are no modifications, then the stated purpose cannot be the true purpose.

        Got to remember Obama was running the show, had purged the military senior officers that weren't yes men and was arming rebels. The ROE favored the enemy. He was/is one of them. It's no wonder no progress was made.
