A really nice video of Afghanistan

Worth your 3 minutes to watch.

Good video

In my personal experiences, they are a great people. But 30 plus years of war has taken its toll. I made many life long friends and only wish it was possible to some day return and find them alive and old. The most detrimental aspect of war is its effect on education. To be blunt a lot of them just don’t know any better, or have no concept of life with out war. There were only two paths from the onset of this thing, in and out after we achieved our goal, or a long drawn out gorilla war. Which is not going to have public support due to Vietnam. Now the hole thing will go back to SOF but the people in the video are the ones who are the victims thats for sure.

Good vid indeed. Thanks for sharing. It’s like the saying goes, it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. You can’t help but feel bad for the children that have been born into such a place and know what the rest of their lives will be like.

Bullshit propaganda.

This place is like Planet of the Apes. Anyone with 23 Chromosomes was either culled off fighting the Russians or left shortly after Russia left.

There is a reason every person with money builds a house surrounded by an 8-10’ wall.

Child (mostly male) rape is very common along with outright homosexuality being a team effort among the ANA/ANP.

Anyone working around Kabul will probably develop lung cancer. Probably one of the top most polluted cities on earth.

Oh, you have a 3G Smart Phone but you still wipe your ass with your hand? Yup, that’s Afghanistan.

I could go on…

This summarizes my experience as well.

You both fail to see the impact of war, they never had a chance without education. You cannot fight back against thousands of years of religious ideology, if that’s all you have ever known. Education is key, it’s sad to say but the actual people are just to uneducated to know any better. They believe what their told and stupid follows stupid. That’s why they are so easily manipulated by educated foreign extremist.
