Not everyone on Reddit is an American. Millions protested against the war on terror in Europe and the Global South after 9/11. It’s the American people that were completely fooled into yet more endless (and failed) wars.

Agree. Thank you for responding.

For someone from the Middle East region I can’t think of any moral reason for US contractors to be in Afghanistan or Iraq for that matter unless it’s for financial reason.

Honestly these jobs should’ve been handed over to local or regional contractors. Years could’ve been spend to teach and train them if their roles didn’t exist. The US missed an opportunity to actually help these countries.

20 yrs later both countries are worst off. Regardless of how you personally feel you can’t blame why the US and the West are not looked on kindly before or after these illegal wars.

You can say the same for Putin and his oligarchy

Do you think this partially explains why the Pentagon / Defense Department keeps failing their audit?

How much money have you made going there? You mentioned contractors got paid 5x more than soldiers. So I’m assuming no one really goes there unless it’s for the money.

Was Rice or Rumsfeld charged for their illegal war or crimes against humanity?

All good points. It’s unfortunate you’re being downvoted. But that speaks more on how Americans still feel about their failed war
