It is good to review are losses and how we got there. Certainly not by the truth to our soldiers and our country. America has grown soft and every person is out for themselves. We think we know best but don't depend on our Heavenly Father. Our road seems to be like the Roman empire collapse. We need an religious awakening. Lets deal with our problems and ask him to help us. That is the Most High God. I got no faith is humans who don't know the truth. Old soldier from Vietnam era.

This was indeed a fools errand. I was on the team that solicited Army National Guard officers and NCOs to train the Afghan Nation Army. It was all for nothing as 99% of the "Soldiers" were deserters. No amount of training could help these stone age people. We all knew it 3 weeks after the start of the program. Nothing positive can be said about the entire debacle. A complete waste of blood and treasure.

It's sad when a lie is told to start a war and even sadder for the ones who have to fight it.
