Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I hate everything the Taliban/Islamists stand for/do, but at least they put their money where their mouth is and actually walk the walk.

ETA: In that regard, they are more free men than we are. (Their women, not so much, of course.)

Not that Certain International Actors within our gov have a history of doing exactly that or anything.

Were I King of America, the absolute rule would be "No nation building.  Ever."   We're not just not good at it, we really suck at it.  The Brits and to a lesser degree the French were good at nation building from the 15th to 17th centuries, but look where it got them:  broke and a shadow of their former selves.  The policy for shitholes like AFG should be if their ass needs to be kicked, then kick it thoroughly and GTFO leaving noting behind - not even an unspent 9mm round.  No rebuilding.  If you need your ass kicked, having your country left as rubble is the price.

So much this.  I'm beginning to think we may be related since we agree on so much.

That makes perfect sense to me.

ETA: we could have circumvented the globe and kicked everyone's ass that needed it, run down all the terrorist shit heads, killed a mountain of communists, and it would have taken half the time and still been cheaper for the tax payer.

I advised the property management of the ANA central supply depot in Kabul in 13-14.

Property book at any given time averaged 3-4 billion USD.

Unless I'm thinking of a different site, I installed the Telxon wireless inventory there.  Did it have a Conex break room that had a mountain dew cooler and a pinball machine in it?
