One of our local girls went to Afghanistan with the National Guard as some sort of liaison. She was all idealistic about going on her great adventure to help the poor oppressed people of Afghanistan.
Now that she’s back she has no love for the place or its people. She says that if we want to tame Afghanistan we would have to kill everything on two legs over about 6 years old.
I’m sure our government knows that as well. They don’t care. I have never understood what the war with Afghanistan is really about. We should have learned something from the Russians.
