This reads like a troll farm/propaganda account. Nobody with a brain is buying what you are saying. With such a narrow look at the situation sure you can twist

This reads like a troll farm/propaganda account. Nobody with a brain is buying what you are saying. With such a narrow look at the situation sure you can twist it to look like that. The US had no business in Afghanistan and it took them years to realize it. In that entire conflict the worst enemy was themselves. Compare suicide rates vs casualties in battle. If the US wanted a total war they could have left that place a toxic wasteland with everything dead for thousands of miles. Instead it appeared to be some lame attempt to capture "hearts and minds" with a completely failed attempt at setting up democracy. Was it a total failure, yup. Was it a stunning military defeat? Nope. Just more M-I-L money burning. Money goes into one side, instruments of death coming out the other.
