Actually they were all wrong. Maybe a fully staffed surge would have been better if those troops would have been sent sent to kill bad guys and break their stuff, but as usual they half assed it for the wrong reasons so we’ll never know.

No, because the country wanted us and the government we put in place out. Many of them were just scared of the Taliban, who could be more ruthless than our side, but the small urban population that was on our side was outnumbered by the rest of the country.
