U.S. Kills Its Youth for Afghan Graft

Check out this New Yorker article for info on one of the greatest bank heists ever:

Graft infests nearly every interaction between the Afghan state and its citizens, from the police officers who demand Afghani notes to let cars pass through checkpoints to the members of Karzai’s government who were given land in Kabul’s once empty quarter of Sherpur, now a neighborhood of huge rococo-style buildings, where homes sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Afghan graft is one thing, but when it's financed by billions in U.S. tax money and  its citizen's blood it's shocking that the U.S. is still in the country.  To top it off and to make matters worse, it will likely take a decade to wind down the whole shameless failure while they tell us it was a success!
