In Afghanistan, People Died for No Good Reason

In Afghanistan, People Died for No Good Reason - reason.com


Excerpt from this article:

"Part of the administration’s objective, Engel said, is to protect the legacy of America’s longest war...For a lot of the soldiers we’ve been speaking to, this is personal. They’ve come here time and time again. They’ve invested so much. They’ve put their family lives on hold. They’ve lost friends here. So the collapse of Afghanistan would be in a certain way a personal affront to what they have done. So you also have to keep the investment, personal and otherwise, that the United States has put into military into this conflict — and that’s also part of this calculation. To which the show’s host, Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Mitchell, replied, 'That’s probably the most important part of the calculation.'” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
