Did the US learn anything in Afghanistan? Former NATO assistant secretary general says billions was spent building wrong type of military and that D.C. was more interested in getting presidents re-elected than telling the truth, in scathing report

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

John Manza wrote NATO's lessons learned report about Afghanistan last year

It remains classified but in a public essay he delivered a damning assessment

He said Washington's leaders deserve much of the blame for the chaos

They 'were more concerned about protecting the sitting president's chances of reelection than ... telling the truth about the lack of progress in Afghanistan'

He delivered his account a year after US troops hurriedly left Kabul

The country is now in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of conflict

#1 The USA scan not change these people or anyone else’s believes or actions. These people are tribal and very much like the demoncrats today. Everyone except the people who believe as I do are evil.
