#3 Afghanistan initially was about making the Taliban 'share in the terrorists' fate.'

Then it became a mission to transfer danegeld to and serve a passive aggressive, hostile and evil nation known as liberated Afghanistan.

The Ukraine war is but one of the consequences of this insane display of masochistic submission.

I fear it won't be the last.

Nuts!

#5 Sounds like Mattis was a great combat leader who was promoted into political levels of the Corps and found lacking.

#6 Sounds more like a made up story by a writer who doesn't know anything related to Mattis.

#7 The author of the book is cited as a retired USMC Major.

I assumed he was involved in the incident he is writing about.

#9 The editorial reviews at Amazon support my assumption - he was the commander of the unit set up by the Taliban and persecuted by the deep state.
