I have never really agreed with the US being in Afghanistan.
The two takeaway's for me from this were when Col Jason stated @7:10 "we never really had a definitive strategy". In my opinion the US enters way to many conflicts with out a definitive strategy and the military is to often hamstringed by politicians. Since Korea there is to much political correctness. Let the military go in do what they do.
The other SPC James stated @6:00 we have to learn from history. The politicians never learn.
This may not be received well and it may even sound racist but the way I see the best strategy to take in the middle East is not for us to go and fight it but to keep them from getting out. The Middle East has lived the way they live for thousands of years. We are not changing that. But let that way of life stay where it is.
If there is a wild fire, or an oil spill in the ocean how do they combat that? Surround it, contain it, do not let it spread.
