This indeed is a tough fight. And I know the 101st Airborne which just came home from Afghanistan lost a lot of soldiers during their last deployment.
It’s really not clear to me if the nation-building effort in Afghanistan is working or not. Afghanistan has never really been a ‘nation’ that recognized a central government. This makes it very difficult to achieve the goals as I understand them today.
