Afghanistan is an expensive stone-age place for US tax payers.
It's an accurate statement that our current spending will not be increasing the debt We've stopped spending money that we don't have.

They admitted that it was an accident and a really horrible one. Unfortunately, it's going to take a while to blow over, it's pretty much equivalent to a foreign country invading somewhere in the Bible belt and starting to burn Bibles. Not gonna go down well...
Whatever the recent protests though, there's been some good progress in Afghanistan in the past few years."Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens" -Jimi Hendrix

The bottom line is that Afghani people don't want our help. They want to be stuck in their antiquated ways and live like vintage animals. Unfortunately, Afghanistan is gonna be a tough one to "get out of."
They legitmately don't understand that we are trying to help them. Help them on Monday, burning the American Flag on Tuesday. SMH.

Dude, we burned their holy book. If someone managed to invade the USA and started burning bibles (even by accident), there would be uproar.
