Random Internet Shit you've come across

On the above subject, an informative read that will really piss you off is: ‘The Afghanistan Papers’.

The ‘Papers’ lay out the fact that everyone knew we were not achieving the objectives in AFG. In fact there was not really any clear or consistent objectives agreed upon at all. The metrics for success were disjointed and absurd. Some individuals will attempt to blame one political party or the other, or one president or another, but to be fair it was a failure across the entire governmental spectrum. The average military person just trying to do their job and not get killed are probably the only ones that cannot be assigned blame.

I highly recommend checking this out. The entire thing or the summary. There are also some videos and podcasts that cover some of the highlights.

There should never have been a war (two wars actually). Targeted assassination and secret-ops are more effective, and vastly cheaper.
