Is it me or is there really no reason to be in Afghanistan? We are in the same situation the Russians were in years ago.
Did anyone find it curious that they made the discovery that there are $1T+ in minerals there? sounds to me the reason we are going there, in order to make someone rich as they strip the country of its resources, not unlike our efforts in Iraq.
Why was it they were looking for these resources?
I think our soldiers are being put in harms way for the benefit of a few. Rev up the testosterone and wave a flag and make people think there is a patriotic reason to be there, when there is none.
