[h=1]I served in Afghanistan as a US Marine, twice. Here?s the truth in two sentences[/h][FONT=&quot]One: For 20 years, politicians, elites and D.C. military leaders lied to us about Afghanistan.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Two: What happened last week was inevitable, and anyone saying differently is still lying to you.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I know because I was there. Twice. On special operations task forces. I learned Pashto as a U.S. Marine captain and spoke to everyone I could there: everyday people, elites, allies and yes, even the Taliban.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The truth is that the Afghan National Security Forces was a jobs program for Afghans, propped up by U.S. taxpayer dollars ? a military jobs program populated by nonmilitary people or ?paper? forces (that didn?t really exist) and a bevy of elites grabbing what they could when they could.[/FONT]

Of course not, David.
You moron.
How convenient of you
to ignore the incredible,
irreversible, if not impossible
damage this idiot has already done.
Not to mention, (Again, "convenient")
the mess that remains.

The damage this idiot has done? How convenient to dismiss the 20 years of failed nation building, citizen killing, and trillion dollars spent to get.........jack shit. Don't blame the guy that is putting a stop to the failed endeavor, blame the ones that put us in this mess.

Buddy: Serious question. If $1 trillion and 20 years fell apart in 1 week and wasn't enough, would you sign up for another $1 trillion and 20 years to "hope" it works out?

If everything that happens is "God's will", why do you post?

That was a final jeopardy question and not one contestant got it right.

It remains a mystery.

But, as with other things in life, bright as some think they are, there are some things mortals are not entitled to know.

They are reserved for the counsels of the Almighty.

Since 2011, four presidents were involved in Afghanistan: Bush 2, Obama, Trump and Biden.

None of them were even close to being honest. Plenty of blame to be shared.

Nation building? The slums of Detroit are like La Jolla compared to the utter deprivation and destitution in Afghanistan. Poverty and degradation has crushed their spirit. The people have no will to live.

Others may disagree, but here at home, I think we need a new system of government and a new constitution.

Yes, all the Presidents that let the charade continue share blame. But, let's give credit to the guy that had the guts to end the bullshit.

Holy shit! "No will to live". We need a new system of government and a new constitution????

Tell us more about the new system of government? Democracy isn't working for Buddy.
