You Have the Watches, We Have the Time - Afghanistan

October 2008

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2008/oct/13/afghanistan-taliban-us-army

In each new village the story is the same; the Taliban has just left. The soldiers march through dusty villages and rolling cornfields. They are spared the dangers of open battle, but psychological warfare is no easy option.

In the wild and lawless lands of rural Afghanistan the Taliban are playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with US troops. Under US commander Capt. Workman we march deep into Taliban country.

We shouldn't have tried to create a nation. We should have just went there, kicked some serious Al-Queda ass, and then told the Taliban "don't make us come back". But no, we're big, bad America and have to practically hand-cuff our soldiers with this "nation-building" shit. We would probably be out by now if we just did that.

10 years later when thousands of US soldiers are dead, thousands of American families ruined, hundreds of thousands of Afghan and Iraqi civilians killed for no fault of theirs, defeat and failure staring into the faces of US military, we all ask, what was it worth. and to make it worse, 80 percent of Americans and 100 % of the rest of humanity believe that the reason US went to those wars was inside job. Collectively we have screwed our lives. Quite a legacy we are leaving our children.

@MINISTAofSINISTA That was totally uncalled for. Even though the war was total bullshit, you have to respect the dead. That's just fucking wrong.

@conick9599 sorry bro but im FROM Afghanistan i know more about the country than you, there is oil but mostly minerals in the mountans. And the soviets had to fight the mujahadeen who were supplied by USA the taliban that you are fighting now is little more than scared farmers and old mujahadeen veterans who want foriegn countrys to step out. so cut back the democracy thing and fuck off, the world does not need you in fact it will be better without you USA "patriots"
