Fun fact: When you swan-dive into a war with no plan, strategy, or achievable goals, it is impossible to stick to that non-plan, execute the non-strategy, and achieve the unachievable.
Side note: This fact is only “informative” to those who lack the mental capacity to recognize their own reflection in a mirror. The US government is currently being run by such hollow-headed numpties.

If someone only warned us about the dangers of the military industrial complex.

That guy with the weapon… In my army time (European) my CO would’ve given me jail time for holding a – I assume loaded – weapon like that.

Well, it was not about winning the war they started it or replaced the old regime with a new regime. It was about making money and they succeeded. Each conflict/war they start, benefit to some rich people. They couldn’t care less about the rest.

We’re getting better at it. We replaced the old Ayatollah Khomeini with a new younger and more extreme Ayatollah Khomeini much faster.

Call me a bleeding heart liberal, but I would include the ~200,000 Afghans who died in this war as part of the cost, not just the thousands of American soldiers.

Yikes, nothing like a little history to remind us that sometimes the ‘mission accomplished’ banner is just a really bad joke!

Wow and they are doing a better deal in Iran. US has all the cards, but still can’t win.

It only took one President to surrender for this to happen.

20 years…and we still haven’t learned the obvious lesson.

Yes but a lot of people got rich and risked nothing so huge success for a small group of people.

doesn’t help that Afghanistan itself didn’t give AF about letting the Taliban take over. but thats also on the US for not understanding Afghanistan.

The Great American diplomacy in action.

And Trump has just repeated the same lack of a plan by surrendering to Iran. Coincidence?
It seems like we’re spending billions of dollars to install the Christian version of the Taliban right here in the US too.

Yea but think of how much money Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and the rest of the big military industrial complex names made!

Don’t forget Donald Trump negotiated this amazing deal

I mean that happened mostly because the unplanned withdrawal, leaving weapons and people unprotected and their own government selling them out. Most of thosr years there was fighting equal to the army just being there and them being to afraid to actually do anything

Yeah but we processed a lot of poppies during the era. Coincidentally we had a whole opioid crisis during the same era.

The only winner in war is the military-industrial complex.

The best money laundry ever orchestrated by Military Industrial Complex.

It’ll not be stopped until we find some extremely derogatory terms for wars instead of those that depict it as something brave, honorable and necessary. Not that that will bring a full stop, but it will make us think differently about it.

My favorite part about the war in Afghanistan is that Osama bin laden stated goal was to inflict damage by making us waste trillions of dollars. He spoke pubicly about on numerous occasions before the war. Dude literally succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.
