Military Times | Final inspector general report details all the ways the U.S. failed in Afghanistan
On Sunday, the Taliban officially took over the government of Afghanistan, the final nail in the coffin after 20 years of nation building by the U.S. and its allies. The next day, the Pentagon's independent inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction issued his final report, with the details of how it all went wrong.
Simply put, according to the report, the U.S. tried to create a country nearly from whole cloth and in its own image, underestimating how long that would take, and continuously reinventing what success looked like when the reconstruction failed to meet the most recent metric. |
