  • After two decades, the last US troops in Afghanistan are set to leave the country by September 11 this year. But as they depart, they are also leaving behind tonnes of destroyed equipment, ranging from computer keyboards to boots. At the vast Bagram air base, this has sparked a boom in business for scrap merchants looking to sell on anything valuable. But it has also left many angry that the equipment was not put to better use in a country still reeling from years of warfare.

    To me the biggest indictment is that we were there for 20 years, spent trillions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of lives were lost on all sides and yet the Afghans felt that there was nothing worth fighting for and were comfortable with letting the Taliban take over again. What did, or didn't, we do there that after 20 years and trillions of dollars the locals just shrug their shoulders and figure their odds with the Taliban being in charge as just as good as with us? The fact that Afghans are willing to let the Taliban walk back in and take over tells you everything you need to know about our mission there and our complete and utter failure on all levels to really connect with the locals and make them feel like this Afghanistan was something worth saving and fighting for. The Afghans were failed, the American people were failed, the citizens of all the other countries who participated in this war were failed, and the honor and memories of the people who died in the war and who died on September 11 were failed. The fact that their deaths were used as justification for this complete failure of a war is even more disappointing.
    I'm angry, frustrated, and disappointed that after all the time and money spent and blood spilled that we failed to really improve the lives of Afghans and failed to give them hope of a better future. What a waste.

    Old story.

The war contracts specifically stated that nothing would return home. All the ship had was enough food and water to make it back. It was empty otherwise. Very little made it back as war surplus across all branches.

      Mother and Ira are there. I can't take a piece of bread away from them. I can't because I know what a crumb of bread means today. ....My mother told me yesterday with tears in her eyes that she wished I would choke on the 10-15 gram piece of bread that I stole from her and Ira. What a terrible hunger!
      I feel I know if someone had offered me a deadly poison so that I could die without agony, I would take it. I want to live, but I can't live like this! But I want to live! What should I do? I've lost my honour and the belief in its existence. Two days ago I was sent to get sweets. Instead of sweets, I bought cocoa with sugar (I knew that Ira wouldn't eat it, then my portion would be bigger). I made up a story about three bars of cocoa being torn out of my hand, I played a comedy at home with tears, gave my mother my word of honor as a pioneer that I would not have taken a bar ...
      And then, looking with my hard heart at my mother's tears and her grief because she was left without sweets for Ira, I secretly ate cocoa.
      Coming home from the bakery today, I took a piece of bread weighing about 25 grams from Mother's and Ira's portion and secretly ate it.
      I fell into the abyss marked by indiscipline, unscrupulousness, dishonor and shame. I am an unworthy son of my mother and a dishonorable brother of my sister. I am an egoist, a person who forgets all his close ones in a difficult hour. And I do this at a time when mother is completely exhausted. With her swollen feet, with her sick heart in light shoes in the frost, without having eaten a crumb of bread, she visits the authorities, makes miserable efforts because she wants to take us away from Leningrad.
      I have lost all faith in the evacuation. It's over for me. Only food is my world now. What lies ahead of me is not a life. I only want two things: I want to die myself, and my mother should read this diary after I die. May she curse me, a filthy, callous and hypocritical animal, she may cast me out, I have fallen so deep, so deep ...
      What's next? Will I be spared death? But I wish for a quick and gentle death, not a starvation that stands before me like a bloody ghost. It's that sad, I'm ashamed, can't look at Ira ... Will I kill myself? Eat! I want to eat!
