        I don’t think many Americans understand that the purpose of wars such as our trillion $$$ adventure in Afghanistan is not to “win” - it’s about transferring wealth and stealing natural resources

        Sadly the Afghanistan War will be painted with the same brush as Iraq, even though unlike Iraq it was both justified and winnable. Where the US screwed up, was not cracking down hard enough on Pakistan, and not forcing them to give up their support to terror groups.

        Neither war was justified. They were both based on lies.

        I know, but we need to face this harsh reality or the manslaughter will only continue. Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is admit you have been wrong.

        when the military is sent into a place like that with a mission statement that is pure gibberish, it becomes a bit difficult to calculate a win or a loss.

        It wasn’t pointless for the #MilitaryIndustrialCorporation They made a ton of 💰 laying those pipes to run the oil down to Kuwait And they saved on costs by having the US military bomb the path through the hills of Afghanistan #ItsaRacket the left and right serfs pay for
