- Leadership knew that the taliban was not responsible for 9/11 but entered the country anyway. Unlike Iraq, there is no oil in Afghanistan. There was no strategic value in conquering this country other than intimidating other countries not to fuck with the states.
- USA spends 39% of global spending on military but has only 4% of the population.
- Vietnam is the most bombed country in the world.
