The problem in Afghanistan. was with the mission, not the military.

I know you think it’s edgy to be the vet who claims our armed forces are for ■■■■■ but it is you who lacks objectivity on this.

Kuwait, the invasion of Iraq - not the occupation, but the invasion - the invasion of Afghanistan - not the occupation - our air power in Syria, Libya, Bosnia…all objectively display a military force second to none.

That objective observation does not change if the force is misused for occupations.
