The Taliban has now established a new government in Afghanistan one month after this was written. The US commitment to incompetence is absolutely remarkable. The lack of curiosity from our media is equally impressive. I would be completely obvious to this if it weren't for this reporting.

I've heard there were dozens of DoD IG reports complaining of the massive amounts of fraud and corruption going on with money and goods sent to Afghanistan to provide for their "self-defense". The Taliban literally took over a four story palace belonging to one of the men charged with preparing that native defense force. Pretty clear what he was spending the money on... himself. Probably did the bare minimum in regards to appearance sake for his actual job. But, of course, as is standard in the US government now... No one is a fault. No one is held accountable except the lowest level people (Like the Navy petty officer who went to prison for protecting a boy being raped as a sex slave by one of our Afghan "allies".).

We live in a society run almost fully from the top levels by evil, incompetent lizard people.
