I have my own opinions about Operation:USELESS DIRT which agree more with this excerpt:
A Brookings Institution scholar, Vanda Felbab-Brown, has observed that the Afghan security forces “continue to suffer from deeply inadequate logistical, sustainment, and other support capabilities and are also deeply pervaded by corruption, nepotism, and ethnic and patronage fissures.”
Other challenges to ANSF effectiveness include widespread illiteracy, high rates of casualties and desertion, and the tenacity and resilience of its insurgent foes.
Shoveling billions we don't have into a place that just doesn't matter.
And, since 1 day after 911, Osama was the goal, that mission was accomplished in 2011.
Allegedly.
