“a war is never won until the enemy loses its will to fight, it doesnt matter what firepower you throw at them , it aint over until they lose the will”
Agree. It seems to me that our diplomatic corp and military should concede that Afganistan is a country in name only. And, thereby work at the tribal level instead. That’s where the real power centers are located, with the tribal leaders...
Break up Arghanistan and create a country for each major tribe.
It looks to me like “perpetual war for perpetual peace”.
Nothing would please me more than to be wrong.
