A little bit of context : After D-Day and the few years of the vietnam war, the US military realized that most soldiers did not use their weapons at all, and that most of those who did, did not aim to kill. This was considered a problem, and to adress this issue, the US military devised a doctrine called "zone fire" which encouraged soldiers to shoot in the general direction of the threat, in order to deshinibit the use of weapons. Takeaway 1 : there was a time americans were shy about using their guns. Takeaway 2 : there was an american doctrine telling the soldiers to do sort of what the afghans do.

It may have been a pointed question but it was a necessary one, you had the guts to ask the right question so to speak. I was with 9th ESB in 2011 when they made improvements to a road near Marjah and we lost a few people because of it; I wasn't directly involved with improvements but I was supporting from nearby FOBs. I talked to an infantryman around 2015 and he said that it became so filled with IED's that they had to destroy it on their way out which essentially made the whole operation pointless in the end. We knew this was likely to happen back then but we had to grin and bear it because "hearts and minds" and the leadership wanted their medals.

@@kzap70 Actually, Afghanistan has an illiteracy rate of 80-90% because of its extreme poverty, which is largely due to foreign relations with Pakistan (Pak and Taliban keep AFG poor so AFG has no choice but to rely on marijuana and opium as its major productions, of which the Taliban and Paki government reap all the reward).... The nomadic nature of much of its people also complicates things, and the radical islam mixed with a constant warring atmosphere since 1979 hinders overall education as well. Afghanistan was actually doing quite well for itself, culturally and economically speaking, up until the mid-1970's, when radical Islam and the Soviet Union both thought they should have Afghanistan... Ultimately, the US saw the Soviet-Afghan thing as a good way to totally fuck the USSR, and made a bad choice to side with radical Islam to "aid them in their struggle against Communism".... Admittedly, the radicals back then weren't as radical as they are now (or when we respectively took them out, etc), but it was still a not-great idea... Anyway, Afghanistan due to these factors has devolved to the state seen in this video, and it's kind of disgusting... In fact, according to locals, it's absolutely no different than under Taliban rule, once the Americans aren't watching... Life under the ANA/ANP/etc. is just like under the Taliban, except they're called the "Afghan National Police" and etc. now... Oh also, when that PB just walks off a day or two later and is never seen again? Yeah, that's stupid common with the native forces... They'll come in, they won't like someone or something, and they'll just fuck off out to nowhere, usually with their gear.... And you see how they took the barricade down and sold the motherfucker? Yeah, they do that shit all the time, too; absolutely no foresight. Either that, or they know they won't put up any sort of resistance, and instead just want the money for hash, opium, and pot seeds.....

It has symbolism to Bubba but the US has no need for that gear which is why it got FMSed in the first place. JLTV is the replacement for HMMWV and remedies the faults of a weak NATO liaison vehicle never intended for direct combat and very bad at surviving attack (as demonstrated from Mogadishu to present day).. I actually DO remember and have studied both wars. Operation Cyclone was a bargain against the Soviet Union and carried out by competent operatives. What should never have happened is "nation building" which is a direct assault on local culture hence doomed to failure.
