Rumsfeld may have been right about tactics, but we were never in it to win it from the get-go. There must be something beyond the “hearts & minds” of Afghanis that has the Big Boys so entrenched...some rare metals, I have heard. Stuff that can be used to build state-of-the art artificial limbs?
Define “win” in Afghanistan. No one has been able to do that for over 1,000 years. Rumsfeld was right. Let the Northern Alliance run the show.
Everything is like Rome. The illegal swarm in and bankrupt and loot Rome like MS-13 and Latin drug gangs plus endless other third worlders.
Have the troops, aka the most patriotic, out of incredibly corrupt Rome so the evil ones can loot the country or city-state.
Watch Gladiator by Ridley Scott with Crowe and Hans Zimmer’s score. Maximus (our military) is betrayed by evil corrupt leaders.
The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamists are all through the US govt and miltary now cheered on by Fox Al Waleed, CNN Al Waleed, ABC-Disney Al Waleed. The public are clueless sheep.
