the look. we're in that war for 20 years. with both of those junk in come see the most of the proceeding to do project cannot troubleshoot the united states. did what we want to do in afghanistan. john jayla will still hold the we do have a city way with john. so anyway, i concluded that it's time to end america. longest war is time for american troops to come home before we marked the 20th anniversary that have this attack on september 11th. the

september, the 11th 2001 a day that reshape the modern world. having never known war on its own soil, america was struck at it. i remember watching the world trade center burn on a tv at the cia and i was standing there like this just looking at it and a colleague of mine was standing next to me and he said, my god, do they have any idea what they've done? can we're going to kill everybody now? everybody alive? apocalyptic tv images provoked the us into declaring its war on terror.

i think almost no americans regret invading afghanistan because we had to destroy al qaeda. we had to the one or 2, but the sentence, 2001, the us into to nato allies, launched operation enduring freedom. the objective was to kill the terrorist leader, or someone in loudon simply off gun telephone, gave him safe haven. in the beginning wasn't exactly a major success for united states because, but we went in there was such a life footprint under donald rumsfeld, that the arcadia and the leaders of the taliban escaped the me. it wasn't until 2011, 10 years after the campaign began with american forces,

finally tracked down and killed a some, a been loaded by then the world's most wanted terrorists that found refuge in neighboring packets done. so the united states is over, extend it in a part of the world, it has no understanding of and is causing great, great damage everywhere. the they came off the amount of the tragedy of september 11th, 2001, me and we've begun to look forward with tremendous hopes towards a better future. but then they begun to vom, i've got villages on holders and get all people hurt and, and killed. and homes destroyed. that is layer the trend towards the negative began. oh no. the bombs were

aimed at the taliban. many schools, homes and hospitals in the area also suffered extensive damage. rates caused hundreds of casualties. a great many women and children among them. the gen go away from my good man. i despite achieving the declared objectives, the western coalition continued to pursue the taliban feeling to ignore the resulting heavy collateral damage suffered by civilians.

america flag squadron patch. named a air force ah, i joined the u. s. military at the age of 19 and 2005 when i joined, i believe in protecting people and standing up to bullying. and i kinda felt it was my duty to do so the i wanted to be a hero. i wanted to help people and do good and do something constructive and

productive. and i was sold on the idea that joining the military to fight for my country was a bad thing. oh i brandon, branded a full me, you a v pilot. he flew drones and opened fire on targets, enough janice done and iraq. but brandon himself was based in nevada. my 1st shot happened in eastern afghanistan, killed 3 individuals watched and man bleed out from the way that he was with the those happened on a regular basis. and there's probably about $300.00 bombs dropped a year from drone in general. it's really just a mass. it's, it's point click and kill man it's, it's so easy that anyone can do it. it's treated like a game, you know, in

a perverted way. i believe it's almost thrilling for certain people because it deals with real human lives. there's no there's, there's a higher, ah, and i think that some of the generals and military officers that took part, made these kinds of activities, had that to sort of thrill for the action. i was the guy who had follow orders. i got really injured in the military and thought that this is going to be, my dad said confessional one particular instance where i was part of a crew that killed a child. it's like a knife every time i right. it's like i feel this dagger in my chest and i don't know how to reconcile that. but my original intent was just a free this burden from my soul,

die in peace. if you will. children were written off, is dog innocent. people were written off his collateral damage, just tally marks in a book, equations for a higher promotion, those types of things, and it really was horrible. ah, me. because i witness innocent people being killed and children being killed. it makes me angry. it makes me infuriated. all right, so this is my very 1st area which even metal given to me by the united states air force. i had 36 of these when i last the military. this was my

1st one. this box is what's left over of my military memorabilia. i don't know how the united states, whoever get this vietnam off of our consciousness, it will be very, very long time and almost impossible to do. i just want to say that it's a colossal failure. probably one of the most embarrassing events in military history. the me it's a part of the financial counseling, but it says you create your washing media release about us i, when you stain remover additionally shipped to russia, well, considering jewelry, i think it will be someone who got interest and killed this and you might choose

for your study of us could not talk with you still, can you really, i'm going to be wishing just at the middle. the evidence processor was out with that that was horace, news or supposition. shut them well, you know, i mean, can you believe it? well, you're fine. you know, 100, you're going to let you go to that is your home what you think it was in your home and was fun fun going on with them care medicaid, however, focused on whole lot more here to jo hoodie. ever to tell you, how would you mcafee or your heart? i'm not going to for the function of the world. i'm again the legit, the ones are the same. i would go by the me there actually,

that the entire us military campaign in afghanistan was marked by torture, murder, and rape me. what you'll be able to get from i will to a general dentist, me at our authoration enduring freedom, lasted 13 years and officially ended in december 2014 to be replaced by a new nato mission dubbed resolute support. in practical terms, it meant america's military presence would be reduced while retaining the military bases and get this revised operation serve the barrack obama well as a positive p r exercise. at the beginning of 2015, we will have 9800 us serve members in different parts of the country together with our nato allies and other parts. by the end of 2015. we will have reduced that

presence by roughly half one year later. by the end of 2016, our military will draw down to a normal embassy presence in cobble with a security assistance component. just as we've done in iraq. the but i know the bulldog shelter the jungle is that did i find out we reported each year solder to your mother work, but the can be the teacher center. my thought about to be a but i can pick it in the that way. afghan troops had a bad the brunt of military operations, the afghan army. what was the reality? afghan army? united states has been tens of billions of dollars to build up this army of $300000.00 people. 90 percent of the recruits,

the african army are literate. these are the kids from backward, rural villages have knows, belief in the army know supported the central government and a very backward and a lot of ways. the result was that within 2 years of operation enduring freedom, coming to an end, afghan troops had suffered 4 times more casualties than the entire nito coalition had. in 13 years of being in the country on to look at that a pay money to but your phone is don't pay me almost like it with my dish. my only beta minute put it hasn't been really good to have it towed it by your glorious how folky a google hardy. yeah. google hack it. but non bish number in hot or the last one is on. oh, not a new got vertica. they both bought on hold up to the account holder. been in cannot but i was on the and i got i got i got on the call that a cough to she did nice. i got to get as much i did, but neither the booster law not been coded alone. i just how does that mean bought

upon that, go that i use it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in om complex worldwide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors that uses in places at rack or afghan in the united states. army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call the

dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't know. the western private military companies can, in their turn, use so called sub contractors from countries with trouble past the kansas quite good that they had also been soldiers. i think i was my drug profession i drove it, went from the news caught it wouldn't. that was was no, no limit malone and they were trying to be merciless killing machine. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one or a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country. we started asking ourselves, why did they die? why do, what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to the contractors. the

shape in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, well, to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk

the tiny truck crossing i can stand on the way to iran were being hijacked by bandits criminals gunman. and so they decided to take afghan students who were studying and mother assess in pakistan to guard the trucks as they cross to iran. and then they came up with the idea that maybe it would be better to just put the students in the villages along the truck routes. the. the word means student. the plural is tyler bond. the the the lennox taliban movement emerged in the 1990 s.

as an entirely new military power for the students stood for law and order and they had weapons. and little by little they took over the villages. and then when they took over the villages they took over the region. and then finally, they took over the whole country. that's how it started. this was an operation launched by the side of intelligence or in september 1996. the taliban captured campbell without a fight, established the land make. m. a risk of africa has done and imposed sheree a law they claimed to have created a peaceful and stable islamic state, free of corruption, lawlessness. but sheltering some up in london and destroying ancient and sacred buddhist monuments helped cast the taliban in a negative light. in the court of world public opinion of the foreign troops would apply enough gunners done. it's all about, well, voluntary defeated and the rest went to deep underground. but for 20 years they

continued to wage a bloody war against the foreign military presence. i made it can't. they cannot say it. don't say any new ideas, little must fill them in the group. now go to work. i don't the cookie, the just name, and we will just do it, but it comes to materially. so who in us leisure for teachers who years of center. but i didn't sit up in the yellow william, good, italian. now in the wake of the u. s. military withdraw. the taliban have regained the upper hand while seeming to distance themselves from them militants, predecessors of the 990. s. italy been now claimed to be a multiethnic movement that does not, as it did before, consists solely of stones it activity recruits residents from the pakistani border regions, which were always a perfect foothold and training ground for well disciplined islamic soldiers also spoke with the purchase, which are used to me, the 2nd one,
