A report on American trained Afghan soldiers firing on American troops. It can seem obvious that we are only sacrificing American lives and money to better train our future enemies. It’s not a new story. Just in terms of Afghanistan alone, we have been training and arming our enemies for decades, ever since we teamed up with them to beat the Russians. Maybe I just don’t know enough, but it can seem like the American government also cannot tell which way is up and which is down in the Muslim world and the Middle East, like we are lost in a demonic hall of smoking brimstone and mirrors.
