How many years have we been doing this? Longer than Viet Nam for sure. No progress. Taliban in Pashtu means "Student". They memorize the Koran in Pock-ee-stawn, grab a rifle, and migrate into Afghanistan. They're like roaches, but at least some are no longer cutting off the noses of shaven Afghan males.

Killing individual fighters with hellfire missiles is a bit expensive

Depends on what gear the vermin is carrying ... ammo, mortar rounds, heavy machinegun parts, etc.

Afghanistan has become the best live fire joint training area that the military has. I am not quite sure if the “War on terror” is going anywhere at this point.

I spent 5 months in Farah in ‘08-’09.
We provided free medical care for the locals, they would line up for care a couple of days a week.
As a result, the locals really liked us.
We also hired them to rebuild their local canals which had been damaged by 30 years of war.
Again, lots of goodwill.
We had a big fire on base shortly before I got there, it was so bad the locals sent their fire truck to help out.
So, I don’t think it’s the locals that are the problem, but rather fighters coming in from other places. The Iranian border is only 30 miles or so away.

"How many years have we been doing this? Longer than Viet Nam for sure. No progress." There's been no major attacks on US soil in, oh, I dunno, ...16 and a half years. And there's no longer a Muslim in the White House. Sounds like progress to me.

Is this the video that shows a munition doing a 180 to go through the front door?
