I'm surprised you've never heard of how important the trading routes were trough Afghanistan

It ruined Alexander the Great trying to gain control of the country

Support it or just embrace it?

I'm not talking about historical contexts, I know about it, I'm saying it from a geographical point

it's a fallacy

Ok, I dunno what you mean. It's a very easy country to gain access to, and had historically been so

That's why it was easy to set up terrorist training shops there

The Iraqi government was actively trying to gain info and probably even capture the few taliban in their country

Unfortunately for them, we were able to find some training facilities loosely associated with the taliban in Iraq

and the main cause of the war was WMDs

Which added fuel to the talking points on invading

there was none

it was a ploy with the British for oil

And oil

so yea, spreading imperialism since 1965

Yeah, and that's why I think you should be asking about Iraq more so than Afghanistan

The reasons for invading Afghanistan are much more evident

because they created the mess

and trying to clean it up

not a excuse pal

I thought Saudi Arabia created it

oh, Saudi Arabia gave weapons to the mujahideen?

Im@trying to point out it's always had loose open borders

that was the USA, of course which gave weapons to the taliban

also giving weapons to Saudi Arabia

which is used to kill yemeni children

then rant why the Saudis kill these children

epic style

Yeah well, you are describing a lot of democratic leadership mistakes. I don't disagree

and you enlisted voluntarily while being manipulated under false pretences

Hahaha I could care less about the pretenses. It pays for school and you make good money and it's good experience

Of course we all thought it was ridiculous to be over there boots on ground for years. And nobody has all the answers, going to those countries with solutions is what causes the problems in the first place

I did know a lot of people who signed up because of 9/11 though. But I don't operate on zeitgeist, only what's good for me and my immediate family

if you signed up for 9/11 execute the Saudi monarchy

not go to war with other nations

Sounds a little too imperialist

but that's what your country advocates, isn't it?
