Agree. Thank you for responding.

For someone from the Middle East region I can’t think of any moral reason for US contractors to be in Afghanistan or Iraq for that matter unless it’s for financial reason.

Honestly these jobs should’ve been handed over to local or regional contractors. Years could’ve been spend to teach and train them if their roles didn’t exist. The US missed an opportunity to actually help these countries.

20 yrs later both countries are worst off. Regardless of how you personally feel you can’t blame why the US and the West are not looked on kindly before or after these illegal wars.
