      War games. The USA is over reliant on their expensive tech that fail against good tactics and cheap equipment.

      The fact that you didn’t know about that, shows how full of propaganda Americans are thinking they are invincible.

      You lost wars against farmers and shepherds armed with AK-47s and home made explosives.

        Ww2 was the last fight where the enemy had advanced gear. They get to feel tough using million dollar a piece guided missiles to hit goat herders and guerillas woth small arms.

        The thing is, spending that money is the end for the politicians. Those tens of billions of fresh printed pallets of cash they brought to iraq as well.

        We have inspector generals by law on these periodically. Every one castigated afghanistan, they were not trying to make a new country, they are too mean, bigoted, and greedy to build a middle class to base a replacement government, instead sponsoring a web of warlords in a game of thrones situation.

        Same with Iraq. Put me in charge, I am against both but I could at least have made something better. These clowns are just extracting money from the government for their pals, and favors.
