13 Years in Afghanistan.
It seems we are out of Afghanistan. This seems like a good time to pause and reflect on recent events.
3479 Allied troops dead, 453 British casualties, 13 years of deployment, 3 Prime Ministers, 2 Afghanistan elections but 0 definitive victories. What did we learn?

The pain and suffering will go one for countless people.

Re: 13 Years in Afghanistan.
The military-industrial complex did quite nicely thanks. We should have listened to Eisenhower when he warned about the dangers of an economy dominated by military spending.
