America lost in Afghanistan

>>129414550
Agreed. War was lost because there were no win conditions. There was no winning objective.

>lost

You've got a lot to learn.

im still confused as to what they were even doing there?

>>129414685
Well the winning condition is to eradicate the Taliban and now ISIS. Only the Taliban is going to exist for as long as Pakistan continues to fund retarded villagers to hop the border and blow themselves up. Same goes for ISIS.

Sometimes I think Afghanistan would have gone further under Soviet rule.

CIA won big time.

Poppy production is through the fucking roof.

osama bin laden was supposedly hiding there, and then we fought the taliban and al qaeda

CIA has always been pro drugs. Especially when they can use it for stabilizing and destabilizing regions.

>>129415514

>>129415873

What >>129415575 said.

Plus Afghanistan's heroin finds a huge market in Russia, which fucks over their population by feeding their heroin epidemic.

The war is gigantic fucking Neocon theater. The Haqqani network has CIA and ISI links, we're fighting shadow puppets of our own Intelligence Agency.

They also need to sell it to fund their off-the-books, black operations which Congress would be hesitant to fund.

Well
>>129414685
this is partly true.
I'd say just bring our troops home.
If our civilians are attacked again like on 9/11, that is "total war", then we go "total war" and we bomb Kabul like we did Berlin in WWII.

Lost? I won big time. 8 year enlistment turned into cushy 6 figure job with no signs of ever losing it.

To bad you didn't get shoot, there's were the big money at.

>>129414550
That's the thing about an insurgency, you just have to not lose.

>>129418774

Another CIA slave state growing heroin to fund more shit you will never be told about.
Faggot you don't even understand the victory conditions.

>>129419929
Is the victory, a good nights sleep?
I feel like its a good night sleep.

>>129418904
Get shoot?
You'd spell better if you got some sleep!
Sleep boys, its good for you.

>>129419929
Tits, name, or BTFO on that chic. ,

We didn't lose because we're never getting out. We're in the Middle East for the long haul now.

SLEEP OR GTFO

>>129414685
The win condition was classified, I'm sure we accomplished whatever it was they wanted to accomplish
