As of April 2021, more than 71,000 Afghan and Pakistani civilians are estimated to have died as a direct result of the war. More than 150,000 Iraqis have perished in the conflict there. More than a 1,000,000 vets have filed for some sort of disability upon return from active duty...and more than 15000 NATO and US military personnel are in the ground because of the idiots who followed a bad leader. Some would even go so far as to say that it was an inside job...but then who knows. The Afghan countrymen and women are doomed to their fates because they are not united...generation after generation has been lost in the one war after another...the Pakistanis have no great credentials to show anyways...they found the worlds most wanted terrorist in the middle of their country...!!! The funny part of it all is that the Americans could completely blanket carpet bomb all that now troubles the afghans oppressors without remorse as they are technically no longer present in that country and the air...
