In light of what’s happened in Afghanistan, @MehdiRHasan asks, why should anyone believe anything that the U.S. president, U.S. generals, or U.S. diplomats have to say about the success of our wars abroad? @ColJackJacobs agrees the military’s trust has taken a big hit. WATCH:

Let’s not forget the Russians were also unsuccessful.
Hey moron, we had 2500 troops there and not one death since 2020. They were there to prevent a war and they kept the peace with ONLY 2500 troops keeping the people safe. We spend more money on illegal immigrants breaking our laws on border then on the people who helped our troops
US always fight wars using propaganda.. the question is did they ever win in reality... I mean ever?
Wow! Three colossal COWARDS! Not ONE mention of Biden’s name! If Trump had ordered this fiasco, you’d ALL be ready to have him publicly hanged! You’d ALL be losing your minds that TRUMP would DO such a thing! Mehdi, You’re a sniveling little COWARD.
And the only results of this 20 year war was that industrial military complex became a lot richer #halliburton #blackrock

They will only tell you that 1. Whole world is secretly planning to destroy Them. 2. US is the only Country striving for peace by bombing innocent civilians in middle east for the past few decades. 3. All the Muslims countries are terrorists. 4. Muslims are always wrong.

Agree with Col. Jacobs. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam & we seem to have repeated most, if not all, of those mistakes in Afg. Also, his astute "will vs. numbers" argument is on point. 300K "trained" Afg. forces provided as much resistance as a squirt gun in a house fire.
