If you ever feel useless... remember... it took the United States 20 years, trillions of dollars and 4 U.S President to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
@NThabethe
Thousands of American and Afghan lives wasted for absolutely nothing. This is despicable

The real winner in this war are the weapon manufacturer 😂
@NicholasOrlick
You can’t use an Army to rebuild an entire country at gun point. Because that’s not what an army is designed to do. It seems like a lot of generals don’t understand that.
@vikramgupta2326
The repeated flaw in American foreign policy after WW 2 is not realizing it is virtually impossible to avoid being seen as a foreign occupying power no matter how well intentioned your mission.

A wise man once told me, “ The generals get the glory, the mother and fathers get the flag and the soldiers get the GRAVE “. That wise man was my father a Korean War Veteran, he begged me not to join the military. I join the U.S. Navy, within two weeks “ Boots on ground “ in Iraq, we had our first unit “KIA” after the memorial service, l laid on my bunk and thought of my Father Worlds: “ The generals get the glory, the mother and fathers get the flag and the soldiers get the GRAVE”………..

As Craig Whitlock says, "The United States never really understood Afghanistan and what made it tick." We didn't know its people, history, culture, religion, day-to-day life, politics, sociology, languages, ecology and never bothered to learn. As General Lute admitted, "We didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking." In the heat of fear, anger, and vengeance, we rushed in and then fumbled around for 20 years. It was a massive failure of leadership - like Vietnam. Will we ever learn from these experiences?
@dtmaxx6557
Brilliant documentary, very unsettling to watch.
@rhyzhenthioz
Remember, Rambo taught them how to fight, never to give-up and never to surrender.
@gonetiroyamodimo9486
First cnn documentary i have watched till the end in a while. Not biased not partial
@SteveHutcheson
I worked in Afghanistan for almost 3 years. This was always inevitable. The US did not want to deal with the Taliban and they were never going away.
@druidia9
The parallels with Vietnam are stunning. Did the US learn anything from that war?
@Ashbenlaw
Awesome Documentary CNN
@AliMsk-gq1rr
The biggest mistake USA has made in afghanistan was not understanding the culture of afghans especially the Pashtoon tribes. You can never force them to accept something forcefully nor they are scared of deaths. The US could only own those people by economy development rather than imposing war and bombing them. USA might kill people but they cannot kill an ideology. After US investing trillions of $ and lossing personals, the Afghanistan is much more stronger and united than before.
@faqirmohammadabdullah2906
Great documentary CNN!
@markwhite6782
I feel so sorry for all the good people, both American and Afghan, that gave their lives for absolutely nothing.
@boxingboy2690
Why did the United States commence the war in Afghanistan despite the discovery of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan?
