@pintohoo; the US and Australian losses in Afghanistan are matched by those in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
I'ts an humanitarian disaster that has killed millions, maimed many millions more, displaced some 75 million people from their homes, polluted the living daylights out of the place, impoverished millions and severely traumatised many decent defence personnel who acted on the instructions of self-serving politicians pursuing their Holy Crusade.
The major winners are those producing the weapons of death and destruction, those who advanced their political careers and their back-slappers.
