Afghanistan

  1. We keep forgetting that we can't kill our way out of our problems. And unfortunately, it seems we can't remember "No more Vietnams" either
  2. There are US troopers fighting in Afghanistan who weren't even born when this SNAFU started
  3. You're not going to beat a homegrown opponent who's willing to use bear skins and stone knives fighting against the most amazing military the world has ever known
It's going to get a lot worse for the Afghan people, and I'm sick about this whole fuckin' mess.


There's no reason for anyone to be surprised at how quickly and easily the Taliban were able to sweep up once the withdrawal of NATO forces was nearing completion.
