Afghanistan is a beautiful country. Though I was deployed for 1 year (Bagram, Parwan Province/Charikar), I got to know the people and work with many people (Pushtin, Tajik, Uzbek, Druze, Kurd (affiliated wuth Yuksel, a Turkish construction concern) and I realized the "pawn state" that Afghanistan has become. It was US interests that gave BnLaden weapons to destroy the Russians and then the Afghans turned it on US interests. It did not help that US tried to secure oil interets but that fell to the wayside and we will pay for that. The lies never stop with war! My hero General Smedley Butler put it in a nutshell but with today's political climate, he might not have said anything because we failed to understand it so we repeat the same mistakes. It never ends!
