>>18388394We couldn't even "un-cartel" Afghanistan after spending Trillions, losing 2500 with 21000 crippled for life and all in a nation 1/3 the size of Mexico, so multiply 2500 and 21000 x 3 and the $$ times 3. Then after a generation of broken lives and bloodshed we have a second Afghanistan with generational hatred and running to the extreme Anti-American not around the world but on our doorstep meanwhile China is licking its chops to swoop in after the cartels and America exhaust themselves for a dozen or more years.
Colin Powell wasn't the greatest but he served neck deep in Vietnam, Grenada, Panama and had a role in Iraq 91, he knows when he says "you break it you bought it" when everyone was clamoring to lose in Afghanistan.
