@Cobra Commander pretty much
Generals openly admitted that we wasted billions trying to mold Afganistan into what we wanted it to be without any real direction on doing so
maybe thats *a little* unfair but yeah
I do as well
But not because of your reasons
We should stay in Afghanistan though
It is getting better there
This is why I applaud the president on scaling back the military aide blindly afforded to other countries. Many nations, particularly those in the EU, frequently receive millions in military surplus spending, yet fail to provide the occupational security necessary in 3rd world areas such as the middle east.
Also fuck the un
Just needed to say that
didnt do shit in bush wars
Bush wars as in african wars
I lost respect for the UN when then announced Saudi Arabia as a leader in the women's rights movement.
I hated the un way before that
wait they
Yup
actually said *saudi arabia*
Un couldnt do shit
They afforded women the right to drive - ergo leaders in the women's rights movement.
also bosnian wars
Ignoring current laws that allow women to be stoned to death for *perceived infidelity*
Since 2001 at least 980 billion has been spent on attempting to reform Afghanistan. Thousands of US soldiers have died for a regime change war that barely accomplished anything over 18 years. I would argue its created more terrorism and hate for the US mire tgan anything else
huge fuck up of the UN
Worthy sacrifice. I will remember them.
Never forget
Al queda is in talks with us constantly rn
As of July 7, 2018, there have been 2,372 U.S. military deaths in the War in Afghanistan.
Again worthy sacrifices
Count the deaths from al queda
To be fair, it's worth reading up on the terrorism of the Islamic caliphate and the consequences wrought upon innocent nations. It's relatively easy to critique the US government on it's involvement in Afghanistan, but more noble to recognize the humanitarian causes advanced by our actions.
Its not worthy if it cause more radicalization
It wont
It does
ISIS just uses it for propagada even if its not true
It doesnt
Or else 9/11 wouldnt have happened
That's the catch 22. We've desperately tried to enact a self-sufficient government. The challenge is that their culture almost exclusively promotes dictatorship as the rule of law.
