Capt. Hoh was brainwashed 8 years ago that Afghan war was because of Al Qaeda. Now he is kind of disappointed as the Afghan puppet government is so corrupt! Yet, for all those that carefully track the US engagement in the Afghan conflict, there is one bright aspect that should be stressed down: That is a fact that US soldiers die there on a daily basis. Cheers!
