    VIDEO HAD TO BE REMOVED YESTERDAY DUE TO DEMONETIZATION. It's now resolved! Sorry for the confusion. "9/11" had to be bleeped out, otherwise it would have been demonetized.

    I have an Internet friend from Canada who was in Afghanistan, told me "The war was a lie" and that he usually "Got himself drunk" on purpose while he was there. Seen some atrocities from local tribals that he was not allowed to intervene while he was patrolling, think he mentioned forced child marriage. The war made him disillusioned with Politicians and any talks about "war"

      Ya, it's fairly messed up. I recall a story from American soldiers where they were at an Afghan army base as advisors, and the commander would have young boys brought to his quarters at night for reasons you can probably guess. Americans were specifically told not to get involved, let alone bring it up. War involves making lots of concessions in order to work together. It's just unfortunate that the Afghanistan the West tried to build was disgusting AND incompetent.
