Afghanistan: 20 Years, Nothing to Show

Trillions spent. Thousands of American lives. Two decades of speeches about “progress.” And how did it end?

For all the blood and treasure, the result was the same regime America went in to topple. A twenty-year detour that proved once again: America is unmatched at starting wars, and terrible at ending them. #Military #Afghanistan #USPolitics
