It's hard to express just how fucking insulting it is. I'm sorry for the people there, especially the women, but I truly don't feel that they are our responsibility.
I'm trying really hard not to feel resentful, but when I do it's usually accompanied by guilt for feeling that way.
the media outlets are all full of shit; if they had any integrity at all they would tell the truth and place the blame for this disgrace squarely where it belongs: Bush Jr. and the military industrial complex.
jrs nation building policies were doomed from the start, and the MIC used the policy to rake in trillions of dollars - tax payer dollars.
the fact is - Afghanistan's military was not trained, and wasn't given state of the art equipment; that is why it was left and not destroyed.
Read Eisenhower's farewell address; everything he warned us about has come to fruition.
