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.

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.
