    backed the fuck up once there was no profit left

    There was never profit to be had in Afghanistan. Only conspiratorial far left types argued that.

    Humanitarianism was a secondary goal of controlling Afghanistan but ultimately not enough reason to stay there.

      No profit from the country itself, we funnelled an insane amount of tax payer money into contractors. Moral superiority mightve got us into Afghanistan bit .only drain from actual government.ent services is what kept us there so long.
