All are on the mark, yet much to kind to our political assholery as well as their Pentagon flunkies.
Repeating Alexander's insight; KNOW YOUR ENEMY AND DEAL W/HIM ACCORDINGLY!
We have been in Afghanistan 20 years yet it took him but months to drive the Bactrians
(Afghan forerunners) into the faraway hills and valleys till they disappeared.
When history assesses our performance, their judgement will be deservedly harsh, as
Nation/states get the governance they tolerate and deserve.
Remember bleep-in-Chief, Woody Wilson, "making the world safe for democracy"
which internationalized our politics a century past???
And there's multiple hundreds more, just like him, waiting for their turn to "do good"!!!
We will wake up and change or we will disappear as history has proven repeatedly.
