And yet more than a hundred thousand Afghani people died. I’m glad your trip was uneventful.
Shock and awe and civil unrest also took lives. The US gov't at whole deservesbthe blame, and everyone in the military sure. But the indiscriminate murdering of civilians in the street was not common. US troops actually had rules of engagemrnt
