They ran the French outa Nam. And we THOUGHT as Americans could do better!  They ran the Russians outa Afghanistan-We as Americans THOUGHT we could do better! Supply the little rat basturds with the weapons AND the expertise and this is what happens.  Can ANYBODY tell me WHY we are Still there? Those folks been fightin long before the U S of A was a Country. Our style of "democracy" ain't fer everyone. Pull ALL our troops out cut off ALL funding and do NOT under any circumstances Arm the little basturds. And to go a bit further-ANY country that wants to take the U S of A out-cut off all funding and all arms to said country IMMEDIATELY. We-U S of A can NO longer AFFORD to be the worlds cops. RIDE SAFE. |

afgan is all about being able to run a pipe line from russia to the afgan ports. russia has billions of gallons land locked north of the afgan/russia border. this is why russia invaded afgan in the first place.

More here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasions_of_AfghanistanWhat America seems to have ignored from day one is the complex tribal makeup of the country. America rolls in and builds roads and bridges. Having had feuds simmer for hundreds of years they are now able to get to their domestic enemies so much more easily.

How do you fight a religion with weapons? How do you fight CO2 that we all exhale?
It has no centralized government, no established norms of a country or society or any other tangible thing to bomb and take away. What man is a terrorist or how many do we have to kill to keep our men safe and stop the spending of the US military? Yet our men die and for what? Will we say our country will be safe? Will we have land or buildings to show for our success, NO.
We even have the EU countries taking in the very people we are fighting. Nam almost the same thing. Both fighting a political war, truth is fight to win and fight with everything available. WE did that in Nam at the end only when our bombers went in and didn't stop then they came to the table. Its about squandering our men, women, resources and spending trillions to do it. why don't we have the people in the countries we are in welcome us and drive out the trouble from their own country?
WE someday will have to ask ourselves what are we really spending on? Something that is smoke and mirrors or a real cause?
How can you fight a decision, a ideology, you cant, and that is what is known so we spend precious lives and resources eternally.
I personally believe our politicians that allowed nam to go on without all weapons coming to bear for a quick resolve should be charged as murderers.

Name was just a cluster @#/%^ from every angle.
I am still passed my Dad missed my high school graduation
to participate in our country's black eye so to speak.
Just like then the call to bomb them into the stone age, and
not realizing that the people were already living that way.
Don,together me started on the subject of the drugs that are killing
hundreds of the people here in the US.
