    Basically, the entire 20 year war resulted in everything going back to how they were at the start.

        I would say in every way. It was basically pointless. We even proved it only took a small force to get Bin Laden. And not in Afghanistan.

        If the war had to happen, it should have ended once the coalition knew Bin Laden had left the country.

        Not if you’re a defense contractor. Now they have more money than the government and tell it what to do. Isn’t capitalism great?!
