I’m with you on this. What do we win if we “win?” And HOW can we win with the new rules of engagement.
I’m also a hawk. But I question why we haven’t shut down the poppy trade—which funds and arms the Taliban.
Perhaps we haven’t shut down the poppy trade because that is one of the only forms of income for “friendly” Afghans. This is a country with no industry and no real products. If we burned all the poppies, ALL the Afghans would turn against us.
