Given that the US can't even keep its barracks on American soil in decent condition, I guess it's no surprise that they have no environmental protections abroad...
- Hmm, what do you mean by this? And any proof/citations? When i was in the Baracks were old but immaculate.

  don't ask for proof, without giving any. you're bound to be asked to deliver yourself.
Awesome. So instead of simply having the taliban, now they can enjoy the taliban AND environmental degradation.

Harrowing reading. Once again, the US' callous disregard for human life is obvious
TBH I struggle to worry for Afghanistan. That country has a terrible culture and while we can criticize the US here, that place was not and has not been fine for a very long time.
- Oh gee I sure wonder why
  Surely it couldn't have been impacted by a twenty-year occupation, right? Surely not.
  
  It was just paradise before then huh
  
  No absolutely not.

  While this might be controversial Afghanistan and a lot of other places in the world do actually need foreign policing and a forceful cultural change.
  Not saying how we make the change or what it becomes but some places are so ass.
  
  Yeah the Russian invasion before didn't help either.
