I thought the actual commander-in-chief was Harris? XD

IMO it looks like the whole Afghanistal deal was like every other government or
big corporation deal. A lot of resources were spent on certain task and only a
small fraction of them was put to good use, while the rest was wasted and
declared to have been spent in something cool.

"We have spend so many million in training the local army, that is money well
spent!"

Except resoults show otherwise.

Very much like when some corporation spends some millions in training courses
for having employees be nicer to each other or similar non-sense. It is wasted
money and everybody knows it, but it allows the board to declare they are being
cool because they have spent X resources on making the workplace a good place
for employees.

Which in the case of Afghanistan sucks, because a big part of the resources was
the lives of people.
