It must be a terrible situation for Hamid Karzai to try to work with a country whose military seems more like the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight than a military force.
Hearts & Minds...and They Hate Us For Our Freedom... two nonsensical mantras we hear from politicians, leaders, and the media.
They may hate us because we have graduated from killing women in wedding parties to killing pregnant women in their first trimester...or later.
What else?
Suicide bombers?
At least suicide bombers make some sort of personal commitment to something, no matter how bizarre. Our country kills people indiscriminately from afar by drones; when they're up close, they can't seem to see the difference between a camera and a AK-47.
One of these days, we shall see the enormous depravity of war, and not let our young people go into it so blindly and unready.
