The History of the War in Afghanistan, You Know?

People don't know the history of these things until they pop up on the news. I think this is a major problem. It's especially since you're not just talking about the enemy's military moves, or maybe even necessarily, how their civilians are going to respond to your force. The one thing that i find interesting is when you start talking about, well, hey, no one really knows what's going on in Afghanistan right now. And it's like the guys on the ground aren't quite sure either. They're basing their policy basing on the same kind of ignorant stuff. Thats the general public. Well, it's us and the good guys first as the bad guys
