    17 years into the war in Afghanistan, American officials routinely issue inflated assessments of progress that contradict what is actually happening therehttps://nyti.ms/2MYAmNs

        We did it in VietNam. Why would we stop now? It's not like any politician we've had since then has done anything about it.

        I think that American troops can only control their own military bases. So, even analysts are overoptimistic

        You can win every battle and still lose the war. So that could be true.

        They can win every engagement, but choose not to engage when it’s important. So it could be true.

        Exactly what Nixon did with Vietnam. The public did not know.

        Actually this kind of shameful shenanigans with fake body counts and other skewed stats started under Kennedy and continued exponentially under Johnson.

        Well i am glad after 17 years that the press (you!) have finally told us the truth. Why did it take you, the NY Times, 17 years to tell us the truth?

        If this has been happening for 17 years, why is it that you (NY Times) didn't mention or write about this for the 8 years of Obama? Why did you finally realize that the truth should be told? Because it is a shot at Trump. Sadly, it is a shot at yourself. You lied for 17 years!
