      Oh, don’t act like that’s all the last 20 years was.

      We spent two decades trying to train up their army with direct hands on mentorship and equipment, they rolled over and surrendered immediately.

      You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make the people overthrow their religious fascist government.

        Those needless military casualties are equally on the hands of our elite and their shares in arms companies.

        And think of the Afghan people themselves. They don’t know peace because of us.

          No you’re just a thoughtless clod who said something stupid on the internet. Try not to enjoy being called out on it.
