    Hearing the politicians say "blah blahblah blah blah" was the most accurate thing about this video.

    As an Afghan born in America this makes more sense as everyone in my family has different stories

    Thank you for these videos I struggle understanding what I read so seeing it helps me learn and this is something I never had a good understanding of until now 👍

    The fact that the US continued to throw money at all possible groups of interest even though it almost always failed, is the most baffling part to me

    I was an E4 interpreter (taken off of Signal Collection and put to work doing face to face translation with almost zero training in that aspect) in Iraq in 03 and can't believe we couldn't figure some of these things out. I NEVER spoke with them with my sunglasses on, it should be rude in any culture. Yeah, I could've been killed, but I didn't take my long gun and didn't want a bunch of shooters standing behind me looking tough. Altogether I did pretty well working with the Iraqis. Too bad the Marine Corps didn't want to fork over any money for me to stay in and pass that knowledge along. The US military is like a cosmic horror, incomprehensible and vast and very powerful but kind of dumb and blind to the small things.

    One of the problem is how they called it a "war on terror". How do you "defeat terror"? You don't go into a war without clear objective and an exit strategy.

    The ISI did dot not need to invite Pashtuns into Pakistan. The Pashtuns in Afghanistan has never recognized that arbitrary British border that divide the Pashtuns.
